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 - I Dreamed I Dream

Look before you leap, okay?

  (Where do we move with each step?)

Do you read me?

  (Did I drift?)

May all your dreams come true

  (Do I dream?)

He's standing by the door

  (Do you read me?)

He's got something in his hands

  (I'm not speaking)

All the money's gone

  (Do you read me?)

All the money's gone

  (I dream)

The days we spent go on and on

  (hah)

Shift

Fucking youth

  (I dream, I'm not speaking)

Working youth

May all your dreams come true

  (Sounds today, I hear the sound today, I hear the sound of today)

A lot of people suffer from impotence

  (Sounds today, I hear the sound today, I hear the sounds of today)

All the money's gone

  (Today)

  (These things don't happen automatically)

The days we spent go on and on

  (The dream)

Fucking youth

Working youth

Fucking youth

  (You did move with each step)

Working youth

  (The days we spent go on and on)

Fucking youth

  (I dream)

Working youth

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 - Halloween

There's something shifting in the distance
Don't know what it is
Days as dead as night
Except for the feeling
That's crawling up inside of me
As you sing your song
As you swing along
And you're, it's your.. your song

It's the devil in me makes me stare at you
As you twist up along, sing your song
And you're slithering up to me
And you're so close I just a wanna touch you
And I sing your song
And you don't know what's going on
But you wanna me to come along
As you sing your song
And you're fucking with me
As you slither up to me
Your lips are slippin'
Twisting at my insides
And singin' on, you're just a swingin' man
It's not your swinging song
And now I don't know what you want
But you're looking at me
And you're fallin' on the ground
And you're twistin' around
Fucking with my, my mind
And I don't know what's going on

Swinging in your song, twisting me on
As you slither up to me and it's gotta be
And I don't know what you wanna do
And you're looking at me
With your big dark eyes
And you're rubbing your body
Twistin'

Sonic Youth - Cotton Crown

Love has come to stay in all the way
It's gonna stay forever and every day
It feels like a wish coming true
It feels like an angel dreaming of you
Feels like heaven forgiving and getting
Feels like we're fading and celebrating
You got a carnal spirit spraying
I'm gonna laugh it up
You got a cotton crown
Gonna keep it underground
You're gonna take control of the chemistry
And you're gonna manifest the mystery
You got a magic wheel in your memory
I'm wasted in time and I'm looking everywhere
I don't care where
I don't care where
Angels are dreaming of you
Angels are dreaming of you

New York City is forever kitty
I'm wasted in time and you're never ready
Fading fading celebrating
I got your cotton crown
I got your cotton crown
I got your cotton crown
I got your cotton crown
I got your cotton crown
I got your

Sonic Youth - Beauty Lies In The Eye

There's something in the air there
Makes you go insane
Brings you back to me
It's been so long
All that I have to do
Is live along
It's coming coming down
Over me
Do you want to see
The explosions in my eye
Do you want to see
The reflection of
How we used to be
Beauty lies
In the eyes of another's dreams
Beauty lies
Lost in another's dream
It's coming coming down
Over me
Do you want to see
The explosions in my eye
Do you want to see
The reflection of
How it used to be

Hey baby
Hey sweetheart
Hey fox come here
Hey beautiful
Come here sugar

Sonic Youth - Starpower

Spinning dreams with angel wings
Torn blue jeans, a foolish grin
Burning down in the night
So cool, so right
Star power, starpower
Star power over me
She knows how to make love to me
She knows how to make love
Close my eyes and think of you
Everything turns black to blue
Star power, starpower
Star power over me

Burning down in the night
Super cool, it's alright
She knows how to make love to me
She knows how to make love
Close my mind and I think of you
Everything turns black to blue
Star power, starpower
Star power over me

Sonic Youth with Lydia Lunch - Death Valley '69

Sadie I love it
Now now now
Death Valley '69

You're right
You're right
You're right
You're right
You're right [You were right]
I was on the wrong track
We're deep in the valley
How deep in the gulley
And now in the canyon
Way out in the yonder
She started to holler
She started to holler
I didn't wanna
I didn't wanna
I didn't wanna
I didn't wanna
But she started to holler
So I had to hit it
Hit it
Hit it
Hit it
Deep in the valley
In the trunk of an old car
In the back of a Chevy
I got sand in my mouth [You got sand in yr mouth]
And you got sun in yr eyes [I got sun in my eyes]
Blinded
And you wanted to get there
But I couldn't go faster [I wanted to get there]
And it couldn't go faster [But you couldn't go faster]
So I started to hit it [You couldn't go faster]
So I started to hit it
And I started to hit it [Hit it]
Hit it
Hit it
Hit it
Hit it
Hit it
Hit it
Hit it
Hit it
Hit it

Sonic Youth - Brother James

"Take my hand" he said to me
Follow now or you'll be damned
Let's go to the other side
Let's go to the other side
Great balls of simplicity
Great balls of simplicity
Brother James gave em to me
Brother James gave em to me
I don't need em anymore
Don't go knockin' at my door
I don't need em anymore
Don't go knockin' at my door

Take my hand, you might as well
We're going straight to hell
I don't wanna hang around
Won't you stick yr head in the ground

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 - Shadow of a Doubt

Met a stranger on a train
He bumped right into me
I swear I didn't mean it
Swear it wasn't meant to be
Musta been a dream
From a thousand years ago

Swear it wasn't meant to be
From the bottom of my heart
He was looking all over me
Together everafter

"You take me & I'll be you"
"You kill him & I'll kill her"
I swear it wasn't meant to be
Swear it didn't mean it
