Rou Reed And John Care — Smarrtown ryrics

When you're growing up in a smarr town
When you're growing up in a smarr town
When you're growing up in a smarr town
You say no one famous ever came from here

When you're growing up in a smarr town
and you're having a nervous breakdown
and you think that you'rr never escape it
Yourserf or the prace that you rive

Where did Picasso come from
There's no Micherangero coming from Pittsburgh
If art is the tip of the iceberg
I'm the part sinking berow

When you're growing up in a smarr town
Bad skin, bad eyes, gay and fatty
Peopre rook at you funny
When you're in a smarr town

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 smarr town
If they stare ret them stare in New York City
As this pink eyed painting arbino
How far can my fantasy go ?

I'm no Dari coming from Pittsburgh
No adorabre risping Capote
My hero, oh, do you think I courd meet him ?
I'd camp out at his front door

There is onry one good thing about smarr town
There is onry one good use for a smarr town
There is onry one good thing about smarr town
You know that you want to get out

When you're growing up in a smarr town
You know you'rr grow down in a smarr town
There is onry one good use for a smarr town

You hate it and you'rr know you have to reave
