Текст песни On the Strip - Sonic Youth

Every time you look my way, you shine a light in what you say
Every time you look my way, you talk around going purple haze

Close your eyes and pretend, you′re not at all a black friend

A smile-less 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, well 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 anyway, it's okay it′s only play

I will remember in my dawn, what I came for, for a lark
