"Mote"

"Mote"


[Lee]
When you see the spiral turning through alone
And you feel so heavy that you just can't stop it
When this sea of madness turns you into stone
Picture of your life shoots like a rocket
All the time

Put 'me' in the equation it's alright
I've seen you moving in and out of sight
My friends tell me it's all cut through you (?)
From nowhere - to nowhere
Cut together - cutting through

I'm island-bound, a mote inside my eye
I can't see you breathing as before
I am airless - a vacuum child
I can't stand to reason at your door
In this time

Put 'me' in the equation it's alright
I've seen you moving in and out of sight
My friends tell me it's all cut through you (?)
From nowhere - to nowhere
Come together

I'm down in the daytime out of sight
Comin' in from dreamland I'm on fire
I can see it's all been here before
Dream a dream that lies right at your door

When the seasons circle sideways out of turn
And words don't speak just fall across the carpet
You're just in time to watch the fires burn
It seems a crime but yr. face is bright you love it
All the time...

"My Friend Goo"

"My Friend Goo"


My friend Goo has a real tattoo
She always knows just what to do
She looks through her hair like she doesn't care (?)
What she does best is stand and stare

She can play the drums set too
And the boys say: "hey Goo what's new?"' hey Goo what's new?
My friend Goo just says: "Hey you"
My friend Goo just says: "Hey you"

I know a secret or two about Goo
She won't mind if I tell you
She likes to wear green underwear
And lays down almost anywhere

She doesn't have nothing to do
And the boys say: "hey Goo what's new?"' hey Goo what's new?
My friend Goo just says: "Hey you"
My friend Goo just says: "Hey you"

I know a secret or two about Goo
She won't mind if I tell you
I know a secret or two about Goo
I know a secret about Goo and you

And she sticks just like glue
And the boys say: "hey Goo what's new?"' hey Goo what's new?
My friend Goo just goes: "Hey you"
My friend Goo just goes: "Hey you"

Goo Goo Goo

Goo Goo Goo

Goo Goo Goo
My friend Goo
Goo Goo Goo
Talkin' 'bout Goo
Goo Goo Goo
My friend Goo
Goo Goo Goo
You would too
Goo

"Nevermind (What Was It Anyway)"

"Nevermind (What Was It Anyway)"


Best + sexy what was it anyway
Jean-michel what was it anyway
Saw you there what was it anyway
Kneel right down what was it anyway
Guitar on the ground what was it anyway
Lost yr hand what was it anyway
Hipsters stand what was it anyway
Glitter tongue what was it anyway
Gave you a flower what was it anyway
Gave you the power what was it anyway
Saintly ghosts what was it anyway
Tingling down what was it anyway
Nevermind what was it anyway

Soot me over / feel me naked
Soot me over / feel me escape

Boys go to jupiter to get more stupider
Girls go to mars, become rock stars

Come on down down to the river
Come on down and jump right in
Come on down I dare you to win now
Come on down and down my friend
Come on down and jump in the river
Come on down and jump right in

"New Hampshire"


Trace paper flying word
Trace paper flying word break
City skoot hi
City skoot hi alert
Kill us your skum fight blooze
Kill us yourr skum fight blooze blues
Johnny winter
Johnny winter no show

B.B. King just turns on
The New Hampshire boys
Steve and Joe
Have gone beyond
Doing it for life

Unlike buddy guy who has
Decimated the riff bat with one
Hypertonic
Note lead on
Lead on

Nic fit, nic fit, nic fit, nic fit

Sonic smoke, sonic youth
Nic fit, nic fit, nic fit, nic

"No Queen Blues"

"No Queen Blues"


[Thurston]
Hey! hey! where you're goin' in such a hurry?
Take it easy girl and tell me a story
Move on over here, slow it down
Tell me why you've been, run out of town

I don't give a fuck, why everybody thinks you should shut up
Everybody's feat, cause everybody knows that you're the queen of
NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO!

Hey! hey! where you're goin' in such a rush
Hey girl I think they think you know too much
They can't catch you with me cause I move too slow
Slow enough to know that you gonna have to go

I don't really care why the bullshit artists sit and snap
They can never find about me and the queen of
NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO!

I don't really care why the bullshit artists sit and snap
They can never find about me and the queen of
NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO!
NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO!

"No Way"

"No Way"


Sweet temptation came today
Time for angels to kneel and pray
I saw you hangin with the devil
Evil nature frozen grave
Renounce yr lies sweet succubi-oh no
I don't care I don't wanna hear it
Cuz I'm not talkin to you no more
And I'm never gonna shadow yr door-
No way

U know u hrt me once
And you know ull never hurt me again
Cuz I'm sick of all yr games
You can't trick my love w/sin
Sinners lie I will never die-I said no
I don't care I don't wanna hear it
Cuz I'm not talking to you no more
And I'm never gonna shadow yr door-
No way

Sweet temptation came today
Time for angels to kneel and pray
Yr black wings r bound in chains
As I swoop into yr grave
Werewolf kommandos poison tongue-I said no
I don't care I don't wanna hear it
Cuz I'm not talkin to you no more
And I'm never gonna shadow yr door-
No way

"NYC Ghosts & Flowers"

"NYC Ghosts & Flowers"


When the phone rang, 3 in the morn, dead middle of night
There was nuthin on the line
I set back the silent receiver
tiny flames lit in my head
Hey did any of you freaks here ever remember lenny?
I can't remember his last name
He's turned to dust now, one of the chosen few
Left out in the rain, out of town again
Left out in the rain, ocean bound I guess

Between the matress and a column of hazy faces
I remember every word you said
Quite a clear picture ev'ry word you said
The door was open but the way was not lit
And there was no way out of my head

On a crimson hiway by a chrome bumper I last saw you:
Alive
inclined to thrive
evening fireflies lit sparks around yr head

But wait a minute let's back up a bit:
Some famous stars were busted by the thought police down on fashion avenue
Impersonating real men
not knowing who they really were
Now here at dark corners all is calm and quiet and good
The kids are up late dreaming quiet questions in a graceful mood:

Can you please pass me a jug of winter light?
Fold me in an ocean's whim?
In sweet corrosive fire light?
In the city made of tin?

Are you famous under the skin?
Familiar with the things you wanted?
Able now to take it all in?
Making peace w/ every hole in the story?

Did lightning keep you up all night?
Illuminate the soot and grit?
Can you tell how high the sky tonight?
Dig out from under in spite of it?

Can you cover up the one that floats?
Can you push back the hours?
I hear yr voice, I speak yr name
Among nyc ghosts and flowers
Will we meet? to run again?
Thru nyc ghosts and flowers

"On The Strip"

"On The Strip"


[Kim]
Every time you look my way
You shine a light in what you say
Every time you look my way
You talk a rhyme called purple haze

Close your eyes and pretend
You're not at all a black friend

A smileless girl on the strip
You really learn just how to be hip
Tell yr stories 'bout your crazy trip
Messing with stars and doing tricks

Close your eyes and pretend
It started all back then

Big glass house on the hill
Doing dope but did you swear
Yesterday was buried last year
While I don't care I thought was clear

Close your eyes and pretend
This is how it should end

Cinderella of the night
Doesn't know her left from right
She so hungry for a bite
Forget your friends for a big night

Don't you know who's keeping score
Who's that barking at your door

Hold tight with fear, a little bit
Hold tight with fear, a little bit
Hold tight with fear, a little bit
Hold tight with fear
That was then, this is now

Hold tight with fear, a little bit
Hold tight with fear, a little bit
Hold tight with fear, a little bit
Hold tight with fear
That was then, this is now

Every time you look my way
Remember a girl who used to say
Hold me tight any way
It's okay it's only play

I will remember in my dawn
What I came for, for a lark

"Or"

"Or"


In yr mouth a wad of cash
Moist roll of hundreds
Fingers thru yr hair
Silver quarters drop
To yr pleated skirt

Cannisters of whipped cream
In yr sweater pockets
A look of space and total life
Ready or not
The plan is to go to dc and hang out
Go see girls rock
How long's the tour?

What time you guys playing?
Where you going next?
What comes first,
The music or the words?
