Sonic Death lyrics

[Instrumental]

You gave your line
You fell in love
You feel the shadow
There's no more to borrow
There's no more to steal
And no more to feel
I know I know I know
I know I know I know
I know I know I know
You fell in line
You fell in jail
You feel in the shadow
To live in the light
To die in the night
I don't want to push it
I know I know I know
I know I know I know
I know I know I know

She is not alone
She is not alone today
She is not alone
She is not alone today

She is not alone
She is not alone today

She is not alone

To... day

Look before you leap, okay?
Do you read me?
May all your dreams come true
He's standing by the door
He's got something in his hands
All the money's gone
All the money's gone
The days we spend, go on and on
Shift
Fucking youth
Working youth
May all your dreams come true

A lot of people suffer
From impotence
All the money's gone
The days we spend go on and on

Fucking youth

I'm not afraid to say I'm scared
In my bed I'm deep in prayer
I trust the speed I love the fear
The music comes
The burning spear

[Kim]
Let's go walking 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 oughta 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

I see a dog star divin' at his magic, snatchin'
Keeps me up awake go crystal cracking
I can't wait
I can't stay, a candle
Gotta change my mind before it burns out
I'm the Cocker on the rock
Wind is whipping through my stupid mop

I see a falling snowgirl walking Broadway
Turns the corner at 14th and I know there's no way
It's alright
It's alight candle

Hatred
I hate the past

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

Sometimes I speak
Tonight there's nothing to say
Sometimes we freak
And laugh all day

Hold these pages up to the light

Hey Joni put it all behind you
Hey Joni now I've put it all behind me too
These times can't add up
Yr life is such a mess
Forget the past, and just say yes
Tell me Joni, am I the one
To see you through?
In this broken town can you still jack in
And know what to do?
I remember our youth, our high ideals
I remember you were so uptight
That time in the trees, we broke that vice

Look into my eyes, don't you trust me
Yr so good you could go far
I'll put you in a movie, don't you want to
You could be a star
You could go far
You've got twistability
You fly hard, don't you wanna
You've got kissability
You could be a star, it ain't hard

Yr driving me crazy, I feel so sick
Yr driving me crazy, give us a kiss

Look into my eyes, don't you trust me

"Watt Here! I'm downstairs from your window... if you're up...
Pub 'phone booth... if you're up...(I get tense) [Beep]"
"Thurston! Watt! Thurston! I think it's ten thirty, we're calling
From Providence, Rhode Island. Did you find your shit? You gotta
Watch the motin' Thurston, your fuckin' memory just goes out tha window.
We couldn't find it in the van at all, we wonderin' if you looked in

Rain King ensures there's nowhere to go
It's jet stream, daydream, cocksure hard luck show
His lips a fountain
His daylight sparks
He's a shotgun, schoolyard, street
wise, white-hot kid
Little whipcream, phone call, breakdown, Rain King fist
His mind a countdown
His daydream sparks

I need three years to clear these thoughts, hey
I like to say I knew one true thing

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 the silver rocket
Can't stop it
Burnin hole in yr pocket

Hit the power
Psycho helmets on
You got to splice yr. halo
Take it to a moon
Nymphoid clamor
Fuelling up the hammer
You got to fake out the robot

You're it

No, you're it

Hey, 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 [x3]

We will fall

Spirit desire

We will fall

Spirit desire [x3]

We will fall

Spirit desire

We will fall

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

It start at the top
Now it's spiralling down
Works best when it's lost
Diggin' under the ground
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 all the shame

It's a guilty man
That increased the crack
It's total trash
Sack 'em on the back

Kids cruise away, pack of chickenshits
This guy is ours, dark stains on his pants
Enough to make a butcher out of the bone
Take a walk in the park? Shit, yeah!

A poor boy, a rich boy
A poor rich boy coming right through me
Rich boy, poor boy
Poor rich boy coming right through me

Falling out of sleep, I hit the floor
Put on some rock tee and I'm out with the door
From Bowery to Broome to Greene, I'm a walking lizard
Last night's dream was a talking baby lizard
All comin' from hu-man imagination
Day dreaming days in a daydream nation

Smashed-up against a car at three A.M.
Kids just up for basketball, beat me in my head

See flashing eyes
They're flashing cross to me
Burnin up the sky
Sunshinin to me
Yr locus crown
Copkillin heartbeat
Head's lookin down
Bowin out to the street
I'm just walking around
Yr city is a wonder town

Lips red to white
Lips green in blacked night
Yr spirit flares
Flarin up leonine

I'm just walking around
Yr city is a wonder town

Transmitter rhyme

00:00 - 05:05
Side one fades in with an extended version of the section in
The Good and the Bad that sounds
reminiscent of I Dreamed I Dream.
Interesting to note that Lee does some type of spoken
word overtop which is absent on EP version
"shadows...
morning sun...
blades of grass...
dark night...
sunlight...
twilight... "

05:05 - 07:16
This is a completely unfamiliar piece,

00:00 - 00:40
The first 40 seconds are dedicated to some vehicle chatter.
Here's a rough transcription:

Woman: On the right!
Kim: Go get hamburgers.
Thurston: Right?
Man: Yeah, let's go.
Man 2: Did I hear Kim say hamburgers?
Lee: Put the defrost on...
Thurston 2: Cruisin' for some McReagan burgers...
Man 2: Forget it man, I'm not going to McDonald's, that stuff's
fucking gross!
Lee: It is.
