On The Strip

Every time you look my way You shine a light 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 a black friend A smileless girl on the strip You really learn just how to be hip Tell your stories 'bout your crazy trip Messing 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 don't 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 Every time you look my way Remember a girl who used to say Hold me tight any way It's okay it's only play I will remember in my dawn What I came for, for a lark --- On the Strip - Sonic Youth
