Sonic Youth - Silver Rocket

Snake in it, jack into the wall

TV amp on fire blowin' in the hall

Gun yr sled, close yr peeping toms

Turbo organizer, crankin' on the knob

You got it

Yeh ride yr silver rocket

Can't stop it

Burnin' hole in yr pocket

Hit the power psycho helmet's on you got to

Splice yr halo and take it to a moon

Nymphoid clamor fuelling up the hammer you got to

Fake out the robot and pulse up the zoom

You got it

Yeh ride yr silver rocket

Can't stop it

Burnin' holes in yr pocket

I can't forget the flashing

Can't forget the smashing

The sending and the bending

The atmosphere re-entry

You got a hand in time

Got another in yr mind

Got yr heart injected

And you got yr soul aligned

You got it

Yeh ride yr silver rocket

I can't stop it

Burnin' hole in yr pocket

Sonic Youth - Eric's Trip

I can't see anything at all, all I see is me
That's clear enough, that's what's important
To see me
My eyes can focus, my brain is talking
It looks pretty good to me
My head's on straight, my girlfriend's beautiful
It looks pretty good to me

Sometimes I speak, tonite there's nothing to say
Sometimes we freak, and laugh all day
Hold these pages up to the light
See the jacknife inside of the dream
A railroad runs through the record stores at night
Coming in for the deep freeze

Mary: a simple word
Are you there in the cold country?
Yr eyes so full, yr head so tight
Can't you hear me?
Remember our talk, that day on the phone?
I said I was the door, and you were the station
With shattered glass and miles between us
We still flew away in the conversation

My cup is full, and I feel okay
The world is dull, but not today
She thinks she's a goddess
She says she talks to the spirits
I wonder if she can talk to herself?
If she can bear to hear it

This is Eric's trip
We've all come to watch him slip
He's slipping all the way to Texas
Can you dig it?

I see with a glass eye, the pavement view
A shadow forming, across fields rushing
Through me to you
We tore down the world, and put up four walls
I breathe in the myth
I'm over the city, fucking the future
I'm high and inside your kiss

We can't see clear
But what we see is alright
We make up what we can't hear
And then we sing all night
Scattered pages and shattered lights
See the jacknife, see the dream
There's something moving over there to the right
Like nothing I've ever seen.

Sonic Youth - Total Trash

It started the top
Now it's spirallin' down
Works best when it's lost
Diggin' underground

Never mind it now
We can bring it back
It's total trash
And it's a natural fact that I'm not no cow

It's never the same
It's more than a game
Can't take it away
Can't kill out the shame

It's a guilty man
That can grease the crack
It's total trash
Slap him on the back with a heavy rock

There it goes again
Magic monkey friend
God I love the time
That he seemed to spend
With all the kids in town

It started the top
Now it's spirallin' down
Works best when it's lost
Diggin' underground

Never mind it now
We can bring it back
It's total trash
And it's a natural fact that I'm not no cow

Sonic Youth - 'Cross The Breeze

Let's go walkin' on the water
Come all the way please
I wanna know, should I stay or go
No need to be scared
Let's jump into the day
I wanna know, I think I ought to go
Close your eyes and make believe
You can do whatever you please
I wanna know, I think I better go
Let's go walkin' on water
Now you think I'm Satan's daughter
I wanna know, please let me go
Just too quick
Now I think I'm gonna be sick
I wanna know, should I stay or go
I'm trying for the future
It's funny that way
I wanna know, I wanna know
I took a look into the hate
It made me feel very up to date
I wanna know, should I stay or go
Hold me tight, down on my knees
So I don't go burning 'cross the breeze
I wanna know, I wanna know

I wanna know, should I stay or go

Burnin' across the breeze
Burnin' across the breeze

Sonic Youth - Teenage Riot

You're it
No you're it
Yeah, you're really it
You're it
No I mean it, you're it
Say it, don't spray it
Spirit desire (face me)
Spirit desire (don't displace me)
Spirit desire we will fall
Miss me, don't dismiss me
Spirit desire, spirit desire
Spirit desire we will fall
Spirit desire
We will fall
Spirit desire, spirit desire
Spirit desire we will fall
Spirit desire
We will fall

Everybody's talkin' bout the stormy weather
And what's a man to do but work out
Whether it's true
Lookin' for a man with a focus and a temper
Who can open up a map
And see between one and two

Time to get it, before you let it get to you
Here he comes now
Stick to your guns and let him thru

Everybody's comin' from the winter vacation
Takin' in the sun in an exaltation to you
You come runnin' in on platform shoes
With Marshall stacks
To at least just give us a clue
Ah here it comes, I know it's someone I knew
Teenage riot in a public station
Gonna fight and tear it up in a hypernation
For you

Now I see it, I think I'll leave it out of the way
Now I come near you
But it's not clear why you make the way

Lookin' for a ride to your secret location
Where the kids are settin' up
A free speed nation for you
Got a foghorn and a drum
And a hammer that's rockin'
And a cord and a pedal and a lock
That'll do me for now
It better work out, I hope it works out my way
Cuz it's gettin' kinda quiet in my city's head
It takes a teenage riot to get me out of bed
Right now

You better look it
We're gonna shake it up to him
He acts the hero, we paint a zero on his hand

We know it's down
We know it's bound too loose
Everybody's sound is round it
Everybody wants to be proud to choose
So who's taking blame for the stormy weather
You're never gonna stop all the teenage leather
And booze

It's time to go round
A one man showdown teach us how to fail
We're off the streets now
And back on the road on the riot trail

Sonic Youth - The Sprawl

To the extent that I wear skirts
And cheap nylon slips
I've gone native
I wanted to know the exact dimension of hell
Does this sound simple?
Fuck you! Are you for sale?
Does 'fuck you' sound simple enough?
This was the only part that turned me on
But he was candy all over
Come on down to the store

You can buy some more, and more, and more, and more
You can buy some more, and more, and more, and more
You can buy some more, and more, and more, and more
You can buy some more, and more, and more, and more

I grew up in a shotgun row
Sliding down the hill
Out front were the big machines
Steel and rusty now I guess
Outback was the river
And that big sign down the road
That's where it all started

Come on down to the store
You can buy some more, and more, and more, and more
Come on down to the store
You can buy some more, and more, and more, and more
Come on down to the store
You can buy some more, and more, and more, and more
You can buy some more, more, more, more
