Sonic Youth - Hey Joni lyrics
[Sonic Youth - Hey Joni lyrics]
Hey Joni, put it all behind you
Hey Joni, now I've put it all behind me too
These times can't add up
Your life's 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
We took some steps and now
We can't think twice
Tell me Joni, am I right by you?
Tell me how you're gonna lose this hard luck
Hey Joni
When will all these dreams come true?
You'd better find a way to
Climb down off that truck
Shots ring out from the center
Of an empty field joni's in the tall grass
She's a beautiful mental jukebox
A sailboat explosion
A snap of electric whip crack
She's not thinking about the future
She's not spinning her wheels
She doesn't think at all about the past
She's thinking long and hard
About that wild sound
And wondering, will it last?
Kick it
Hey Joni, put it all behind you
There's something turning
It's turning right to you
My head burns, but I know
You speak the truth, hey!
Hey Joni, put it all behind you
Hey Joni, now I've put it all behind me too
Forget the future
These times are such a mess
Tune out the past and just say yes
It's 1963 it's 1964
It's 1957 it's 1962
Put it all behind you
Now it's all behind you
Hey Joni, now I've put it all behind me too
These times can't add up
Your life's 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
We took some steps and now
We can't think twice
Tell me Joni, am I right by you?
Tell me how you're gonna lose this hard luck
Hey Joni
When will all these dreams come true?
You'd better find a way to
Climb down off that truck
Shots ring out from the center
Of an empty field joni's in the tall grass
She's a beautiful mental jukebox
A sailboat explosion
A snap of electric whip crack
She's not thinking about the future
She's not spinning her wheels
She doesn't think at all about the past
She's thinking long and hard
About that wild sound
And wondering, will it last?
Kick it
Hey Joni, put it all behind you
There's something turning
It's turning right to you
My head burns, but I know
You speak the truth, hey!
Hey Joni, put it all behind you
Hey Joni, now I've put it all behind me too
Forget the future
These times are such a mess
Tune out the past and just say yes
It's 1963 it's 1964
It's 1957 it's 1962
Put it all behind you
Now it's all behind you
