Sonic Youth Trilogy: lyrics

a) The Wonder
----------

[Thurston:]
See flashing eyes
They're flashing 'cross to me
Burnin' up the sky
Sunshinin' into me
Your locus crown
A cop-killin' heartbeat
Head's lookin' down
Bowin' out to the street

I'm just walkin' around
Your city is a wonder town

Lips red to white
Lips green in blacked night
Your spirit flares
Flaring up leonine

I'm just walkin' around
Your city is a wonder town

Transmitter rhyme
Transmitter all the time
Lookin' up to the sky
I'm seein' ghosts flyin'

I'm just walkin' around
Your city is a wonder town

I think I've been there once before
Something tells me there's so much more
She's back in town to even the score
It's time to go

See flashin' eyes
They're flashin 'cross to me
Burnin' up the sky
Sunshinin' into me
Your locus crown
A cop-killin' heartbeat
Head's lookin' down
Bowin' out to the street
I'm just walkin' around

Your city is a wonder town....


b) Hyperstation
------------

Falling outta sleep I hit the floor
I pull on some rock tee and I'm out with the door
From Bowery to Broome to Green
I'm a walking lizard
Last night's dream was a talking baby wizard

All coming from female imagination
Daydreaming days in a daydream nation

Smashed up against a car at 3am
The kids dressed up for basketball
Beat me in my head
There's bum trash in my hall
And my place is ripped
I totalled another amp, I'm callin' in sick

It's an anthem in a vacuum on a hyperstation
Daydreaming days in a daydream nation


z) Eliminator Jr.
--------------

Kids cruise away, pack of chickenshits
This guy is ours, dark stains on his pants
Enough to make a butcher out of the bone
Take a walk in the park? Shit, yeah!

A poor boy, a rich boy
A poor rich boy coming right through me
Rich boy, poor boy
Poor rich boy coming right through me
