Songtexte: Sonic Youth. Dirty. On The Strip.

Everytime you look my way
Shine a light in what you say
Everytime 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 your stories 'bout your crazy trip
Messin' 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 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

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

I remember in my dawn
Where I came from for a lark
