LOU REED - Smalltown lyrics
rate meWhen you're growing up in a small town<br>When you're growing up in a small town<br>When you're growing up in a small town<br>You say, no one famous ever came from here<br><br>When you're growing up in a small town<br>And you're having a nervous breakdown<br>And you think that you'll never escape it<br>Yourself or the place that you live<br><br>Where did picasso come from<br>There's no michelangelo coming from pittsburgh<br>If art is the tip of the iceberg<br>I'm the part sinking below<br><br>When you're growing up in a small town<br>Bad skin, bad eyes, gay and fatty<br>People look at you funny<br>When you're in a small town<br><br>My father worked in construction<br>It's not something for which I'm suited<br>Oh, what is something for which you are suited<br>Getting out of here<br><br>I hate being odd in a small town<br>If they stare let them stare in new york city<br>As this pink eyed painting albino<br>How far can my fantasy go<br><br>I'm no dali coming from pittsburgh<br>No adorable lisping capote<br>My hero, oh, do you think I could meet him<br>I'd camp out at his front door<br><br>There is only one good thing about small town<br>There is only one good use for a small town<br>There is only one good thing about small town<br>You know that you want to get out<br><br>When you're growing up in a small town<br>You know you'll grow down in a small town<br>There is only one good use for a small town<br><br>You hate it and you'll know you have to leave
