"Betrayed"
========================
album _Legendary Hearts_
(Lou Reed, 1983)

written by Lou Reed
========================


        Betrayed by the one who says she loves you
        by the one who says she needs you
        above all other men
        Betrayed by her fragile, vicious beauty
        her father did his duty
        and I lay down betrayed

        Justice taught her competence
        her mother was like steel
        her cousins, they're all convicts
        she alone rose above that wheel
        But a motorcyclist no matter how good
        is slave to the oncoming truck
        and the poison of her father was
        her most pitiless luck

        Betrayed by the one who says she loves you
        by the one who says she needs you
        above all other men
        Betrayed by her fragile, vicious beauty
        her father did his duty
        and I lay down betrayed

        Three of us lie in this bed
        night of infamy
        one of us lies on our back
        her father's in her head
        And quick she turns and slaps my face
        and with her eyes open wide she screams
        I hate you, I hate you, I hate you
        but she's looking right past me

        Betrayed by the one who says she loves you
        by the one who says that she needs you
        above all other men
        Betrayed by her fragile, vicious beauty
        her father did his duty
        and I lay down betrayed

        And I lay down betrayed
        I lay down betrayed

"Betrayed"
=======================
album _Live In Italy_
(Lou Reed, 1984)

Sep 07 (or 10), 1983
Verona (or Rome), Italy
=======================


        Betrayed by the one who says she loves you
        by the one who says she needs you
        above all other men
        Betrayed by her fragile, vicious beauty
        her father did his duty
        and I lay down betrayed

        Justice taught her competence
        her father was like steel
        her cousins, they're all convicts
        she alone rose above that wheel
        But like a motorcyclist no matter how good
        is slave to the oncoming truck
        the poison of her father was
        her most pitiless luck

        Betrayed by the one who says she loves you
        by the one who says that she needs you
        above all other men
        Betrayed by her fragile, vicious beauty
        her father did his duty
        and I lay down betrayed

        Three of us lie in this bed
        this night of infamy
        one of us lies on our back
        her father's in her head
        And quick she turns and slaps my face
        and with her eyes open wide she screams
        I hate you, I hate you, I hate you
        ah, but she's looking right by me

        Betrayed by the one who says that she loves you
        by the one who says she needs you
        above all other men
        Ooohhh, betrayed by her fragile, vicious beauty
        her father did his duty
        and I lay down betrayed

        And I lay down betrayed
        and I lay down betrayed
