歌词
Smalltown - Lou Reed/John Cale
作词:John Cale/Lou Reed
When you're growing up in a smalltown
When you're growing up in a smalltown
When you're growing up in a smalltown
You say no one famous ever came from here
When you're growing up in a smalltown
And you're having a nervous breakdown
And you think that you'll never escape it
Yourself or the place that you live
Where did Picasso come from
There's no Michelangelo
coming from Pittsburgh
If art is the tip of the iceberg
I'm the part sinking below
When you're growing up in a smalltown
Bad skin bad eyes gay and fatty
People look at you funny
When you're in a smalltown
My father worked in construction
It's not something for which I'm suited
Oh what is something for
which you are suited
Getting out of here
I hate being odd in a smalltown
If they stare let them stare in New York City
As this pink eyed painting albino
How far can my fantasy go
I'm no Dali coming from Pittsburgh
No adorable lisping Capote
My hero oh do you think I could meet him
I'd camp out at his front door
There's only one good thing about smalltown
There's only one good use for a smalltown
There's only one good thing about smalltown
You know that you want to get out
When you're growing up in a smalltown
You know you'll grow down in a smalltown
There's only one good use for a smalltown
You hate it
and you'll know you have to leave
