Cars and trucks
Fly by me on the corner
But I'm all right
Standin' proud before the signal
When I see the light
I feel like more than just a number.
And I stand before you
Or else we just don't see the others
Computer age
Bikes and vans
Fly by me on the desert
But I'm all right
Standing out here in the hot sun
When I see the light
I feel like more than just a number
And I stand before you
Or else we just don't see the others
Computer age
Precious metal lines
Molded into highways
Running through me
Days and nights
Weeks and months and seasons
Rolling through me
I need you
To let me know that there's a heartbeat
Let it pound and pound
And I'll be flying like a free bird
And you need me
Like ugly needs a mirror
And day by day
This horizon's getting clearer
Computer age
You're not telling what you feel
You just say you can't deal
You're just lying in an orange peel
You're just saying it ain't real
Mom told you
And I'll tell you
You better pick it up
Clean up your room
I'm not telling you what to feel
I'm just saying I can't deal
You're just lying like a peel
I'm just saying you ain't real
Your mom told you
And I'll tell you
You better straighten up
It's such a mess inside
You're so hot
Your bed
Entangled
Tuna fish cans, chocolate wrapper, jello box, stuffed gorilla, phone bill, fax paper, cranberry juice, dirty socks, cd's, tapes, guitar pick, new snare, High School year book, comb and all those letters
Your mom told you
And I'll tell you
If you make me cry
I'll poke your eye
I'll tear you limb for limb
You're lying in your room
If what you say is true
Then I say that we're through
me to you to me
thunderbolts caught easily
shouting truth peacefully
electricity
(turn it up)
high voltage man kids his night to bring the light to those who need-
to hide their shadow deep
though it's too bright find the light I know that friends don't mind-
just how you glow
midnight cowboys steers in black hit the dark road without a map to
free
seek electricity seek electricity
midnight cowboys steers in black hit the dark road without a map to
free
seek electricity seek electricity
lighthouse beacon straight ahead straight ahead across black sea to
bring
seeking electricity
high voltage man kids his night to bring the light to those who need-
to hide their shadow deep
you are a shallow deed
high voltage man kids his night to bring the light to those who need-
to hide their insanity
you are insanity
Let me tell you every thought that I've come to
When I think of all the things that you do
I can't see if you're the only one, it's hard to say
And I think it's all the same to me today
I can see you two
If I could just see you this one time
I sit alone
Everyone's at home
I see it, I believe
Somehow I know it's true
Your genetic kiss to me
I'll live inside of you
I have heard it said before: It'll never happen
Had it drilled in since a kid, it makes my head spin
I'm still looking for these things that I can't find
Thoughts just come and go, swirling through my mind
I see me and you
Then it's him I'm thinking of
We sit alone
No one else at home
I taste it, I feel
And now I know it's true
Your genetic kiss reveals
I'll always be with you
Hey baby, it's you I'm thinking of
Hey baby, who do you love?
Don't worry, baby, I'm watching even as you sleep
Let me whisper some things for you to keep:
There's no perfect idea
There's no perfect fate
Just little stabs of happiness
Sometimes a little too late
So keep your eyes wide open
And know what you're made of
Remember: first thought: best thought
Try to stay in love
Gather round right now
and hear me whisper
the words of the prison
the words of laughter
The lords and the ladies
were fixing their hair-dos
cursing their lovers
cursing the Bible
Hallowed by thy name
yelling at fathers
screaming at mothers
Hallowed by thy name
Come all you sinners
Come now in your glory
and my ears will listen
to your dirty stories
you're fighting to go up
you're sure on your way down
cursing their lovers
cursing the Bible
Hallowed by thy name
yelling at fathers
screaming at mothers
Hallowed by thy name
Sons and their daughters have taken your money
The queens are out dancing, but now they're not funny
'Cause there goes one walkin'
away with your sonny
cursing their lovers
cursing the Bible
Hallowed by thy name
yelling at fathers
screaming at mothers
Hallowed by thy name

I don't know that much about it

and I get miffed
at the damn polyester fills
(ok chorus)
The interior is a prison unconscious
The interior is a prison unconscious
my new house
you should see my new house
my new house

Wash the drawers of pills

hmmmmm
(ok chorus)
With lead centered in the middle of them
With lead centered in the middle of them
my new house

my new house

That Halifax copter

sometimes I think I'll ring up Swine-Tax
and go back to my flat
sometimes I think I'll ring up Swine-Tax
and go back to my flat

according to the postman
it's like the bleeding Bank of England
according to the postman
it's like the bleeding Bank of England
hmmmmm
(chorus)
creosote tar fence surrounds it
those razor blades eject when I cut the deck
my new house
you should see my new house
my new house
Could easily caulk up all the holes about it
The spare room is fine
although a little haunted
(chorus)
Mr. Reagan who had hung himself at number 13
Mr. Reagan hung himself at number 13
It'll be great when it's decorated

Well, we can't take her this week
And her friends all want another speech
Hoping for a better day to hear what she's got to say
All about that personality crisis
You got it while it was hot
But now frustration and heartache is what you got
Talking, talking, talking, talking, personality, personality
Well, now you're trying to be something
Now you've got to do something
Wanna be someone how wow wow
You must be thinking about the times you did, it took every ounce
Well, it sure got to be a shame when you start to scream and shout
You got to contradict all those times you better flyin' about, it's a butterfly
Got a personality crisis
You got it while it was hot
Tell us how you know frustration and heartache is what you got
Cuz when I'm talking, talking personality (personality)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
And you're a prima ballerina on a spring afternoon
Change on into the Wolfman howling at the moon, awoooh
Got a personality crisis, you got it while it was hot
So hot y'know frustration and heartache is what you got
Talking 'bout, talking 'bout
Talking personality
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Now we're gonna put some faith that mother nature sent
Your man's getting dumped for all your friends
Personality everything is starting to blend all back to one
Personality when your mind starts to blend
Personality fashion of a friend, of a friend, of a friend, of a friend, of a friend
Personality wondering how celebrities ever met
Tell us about personality crisis you got it while it was hot
He's always had frustration and heartache is all you got (Is all you got)
Don't worry
Personality crisis please don't cry
Personality crisis please don't stop
Cuz you walk with personality, talk with personality
This is a groovy number ah!

Why don't you heal yourself?

Abusing my body to a quick end
But I'll never never never never do it again

I send 70 pounds instead of 70 p to
pharmaceutical company Rowche AG
The lorry arrived the next day
Swiss gnomes dealing out potions
They're gonna kick your liver in
You gotta treat it like a bin
Beer and speed is okay
But the full use of your body isn't
Same time anywhere and from any phone
Mistakes were made but from now on
Hi boys and girls
This is your old friend Sonic Youth
And you know what?
We just got back from the North Pole
And you know what we were doing up there don't you?
That's right
We saw him all right
And all his little dwarfs
Boy, did we get off on them
And we learned some wonderful things about him
And we'd like to sing you all a little song
So why don't you, you know move on up and come up close and we'll sing to you
Come on, closer, closer, come on
I won't bite
Come on
Right down by my shoes
Come on move closer, that's it
Great
Ok, huddle all around
And we'll sing you a song
All right
You too Johnny
Come on, closer
All year long he's busy making toys
For all the little girls and little boys
He puts them in his sled and gives his whip a crack
On Donder, on Blitzen, but never on smack
Cuz Santa doesn't cop out on dope
Has he ever even tried it?
Well you know the answer's no
So little kiddies, here's my point
Just leave him cookies and save the joint
Cuz Santa Claus turns on it
There's a way
Watching you and I turn on
On Christmas Day
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas David Geffen
Merry Christmas everybody
sunday comes alone again
a perfect day for a quiet friend
and you - you will set it free
i see new morning round yr face
everybody sez it's another phase
and now - and now it's come to me
see the magic in yr eyes
i see it come as no surprise
and you - you turn yr eyes away
yeh you - you turn it all away
i guess it's true, it's never too late
still i don't know what to do today
oh why - can't i set you free?
will you - you do the same for me
sunday comes and sunday goes
sunday always seems to move so slow
to me - here she comes again
a perfect ending to a perfect day
a perfect ending, what can i say
to you - lonely sunday friend
yeh you - sunday never ends
Long ago
And oh so far away
I fell in love with you
Before the second show
Your guitar
It sounds so sweet and clear
But you're not really there
It's just the radio
Don't you remember you told me you love me baby?
You said you'd be coming back this way again baby
Baby, baby, baby, baby, oh baby
I love you, I really do
Loneliness
Is such a sad affair
And I can hardly wait
To be with you again
What to say
To make you come again
Come back to me again
And play your sad guitar
Don't you remember you told me you love me baby?
You said you'd be coming back this way again baby
Baby, baby, baby, baby, oh baby
I love you, I really do
Don't you remember you told me you love me baby?
You said you'd be coming back this way again baby
Baby, baby, baby, baby, oh baby
I love you, I really do
My nerves are buzzin' and my heart is gone
I think I was a speaker, but I might be wrong
There's ghosts in the attic, and bugs on the wall
But it's alright, I don't care at all
Cuz I'm yours and you're mine and that's, that's all I know right now
That's all, that's all I know right now
It's dark outside except for pinpoint light
Why a little gold tooth lost in a fight
How dark outside pick it up from the street
I'll stomp on it once and lay it at your feet
Cuz I'm yours and you're mine and that's all I know right now
That's all, that's all I know
Oh baby, it's dark out there
Well, oh baby, it's dark in here
Oh darling, I don't care no, no
Oow
The TV's up against the wall like a painting
But everybody here in the museum's fainting
But I myself have got time for my lips
It's delicious lady, won't you have a sip?
Cuz I'm yours and you're mine and that's all I know right now
That's all, that's all I know right now
Well, I'm yours and you're mine and that's all I know right now
That's all, that's all I know right now
I'm a shock trooper in a stupor yes I am
