Sonic Youth - I'm Not There lyrics

Things are crashing better
She's all too tight
In my neighbourhood she cry
Both day and night
It's a milestone but she's down on her luck
Days make her so lonely and
It's so hard to buck now and then

I believe that she'd stop him if
She'd find time to care
I believe that she may look
Upon decidin' whose to care
And I go by the Lord
Anywhere she's on my way
But, I don't belong there

No, I don't belong to her
I don't belong to every choir
She's my Christ-forsaken angel but she
Don't hear me cry
She's a lone hearted mystic and
She can't carry on
When I'm there she's all right
Then she's not when I'm gone

Heaven knows that the answer
She don't con no one
She's the way forsaken beauty
She's mine for the one
And I lost her hesitating 'bout
Temptation as it runs she don't harm me
I'm not there, I'm gone

Now I cried tonight
Like I cried the night before
And I'll feast on the highway but
I'll dream about the door
It's alone, she's forsaken by her fate
Words to tell it don't have approximation
She is smiling fairly well

Her smile is contagious
I was born to love her
But she knows that the kingdom
Wait's so high above her
And I run by the race but
It's not too fast still
But, I've got the fever
I'm not there I'm gone

Well, it's all about diffusion as
I cry for her veil
I don't need anybody now beside me to tell
And it's all affirmation
I'm asleep but it's not
She's a lone hearted beauty but
She don't like the spot there she comes

Yeah, she's gone like a rainbow
That was shining yesterday
But she's home now beside me and
I'd like her to stay
She's a lone forsaken beauty and
She don't trust no one
And I wish I was beside her but
I'm not there I'm gone

It's too hard to stay here and
I don't want to leave
It's so hard for so few
You see, but she's hard, too hard to me
It's alone, it's a crime
The ways she mauls me around
But she don't phone to hate me but
It's time to make her crown

Yes I believe that it's rightful
I believe it in my mind
I've been told, like I said before
I'll carry on when I'm blind
Yes, the soul gypsy told her, like I said
Carry on
And I wish I was there to help her but
I'm not there I'm gone
