Mats Gustafsson, Sonic Youth - Hidros 3, pt. 9: Voice lyrics

"Hey, chick in the water
Chick in the water!", they used to shout
Well, I tell you those were days
I shot the lord in the flower
And not civilians those cute boys with the
Perfect waves to catch waves to ride
Full-fledged businessmen they were
Dangling long hanging awful hours
Hours on the beach beach ah

I said drifting to the tunnel where
We're bounded we're bounded

Watch 'em break watch 'em break
Watch 'em break watch 'em break!
Watch 'em break! Watch 'em break!
Watch 'em break! It's eternity, ah
Hidden one more ti-i-i-me
I wish to God this was not happening

For the longest moment
Where will your life be? And wonders
What those identities crisis really mean

My counsellor used to say
"When you're a teenager you have an identity
Identity, not crises and then you
Grow up and it goes away
Goes away goes away"

I hear myself I scratch the water
Makes these dry white rings on my skin
Dry white rings on my skin dry right wings
Always on me shine take color on your skin
Something fashion cannot touch cannot touch
Something fashion cannot touch cannot touch
Cannot i'd lie for you
I'd die for you in my fashion buff
Of flu - huh!
Huh!

I would couldn't wait to wash it all
Wash it all wash it
Wash it wash it
Wash it! Wash it!
Wash it! Wash it!
Wash it! Wash it!
Wash it! Wash it!
Wash it!

Get back get back somewhere
Get back somewhere, young lady
Get back somewhere, young lady
I do believe you stepped out of line
You stepped out of line
You stepped out of line
I say you stepped out of line
Get down on your knees and get back in line
And put on a piece of fashion that
I made for you because
Men make fashion
Men talk to other men through fashion
I don't understand the language
But, I read the magazines i just -
I just don't know i just don't know
I just don't know what to wear
But, I read the magazine
And I heard these two men
Talking to each other
They were talking to each other, saying:
"Why, I think that it would be really great
If we could all wear something like this"


Couldn't wait to get back somewhere
So I could leave it all weekend
