Sonic Youth - On the Strip lyrics

Every time you look my way
You show a lie in what you say
Every time you look my way
You talk a rhyme called purple haze

Close your eyes and pretend
You're not at all like then

The smartest girl out on the strip
You really know just how to be hip
Tellin' stories 'bout your crazy trip
Messin' with stars and doing tricks

Close your eyes and pretend
It's not at all like then

Big glass house on the hill
Doing dope and ditchin' school
Yesterday, Bruce Barry was here
A wild kid I thought was cool

Close your eyes and pretend
This is how it should end

Cinderella of the night
Doesn't know her left from right
She's so hungry for a bite
Forgetting her friends fork and knife
Don't you know who's keeping score?
Who's that barking at your door?

Hold tight and fear a little bit
Hold tight and fear a little bit
Hold tight and fear a little bit
Hold tight and fear
That was then, this is not
Hold tight and fear a little bit
Hold tight and fear a little bit
Hold tight and fear a little bit
Hold tight and fear
That was then, this is not

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

I remember in the dark
Where I came from for a lark
