Sonic Youth
Eric’s Trip (Live)
[Verse 1]
I can't see anything at all
All I see is me
That's what's important and that's what's clear enough
To see me
My eyes can focus, my brain is talking
Looks pretty good to me
My head's on straight, girlfriend's beautiful
Looks pretty good to me

[Pre-Chorus]
Sometimes I speak
Nothing to say
Sometimes we freak
And laugh all day

[Chorus]
Candlelight
Jackknife inside of the dream
Railroad runs through the record stores at night
Coming in for the deep freeze

[Verse 2]
Mary, a simple word
There in the country
Your eyes so full, head so tight
Can't you hear me?
Remember our talk that day on thе phone?
Said I was the door and you werе the station
With shattered glass and miles between us
We still flew away in the conversation
[Pre-Chorus]
My cup is full
And feel okay
The world is dull
Not today

[Chorus]
She's a goddess
She can talk to spirits
Wonder if she can talk to herself
She can bear to hear it

[Bridge]
This is Eric's trip
We've all come to watch him slip
Slipping all the way to Texas
Can you dig it?

[Verse 3]
I see with a glass eye
A caged view
Shadow forming, across fields rushing
Through me to you
We tore down the world, we put up four walls
I breathe in the myth
I'm over the city, fucking the future
High and inside your kiss
[Pre-Chorus]
We can't see clear
What we see is alright
Make up what we can't hear
Sing all night

[Chorus]
Scattered pages and shattered lights
Jackknife inside of the dream
Something moving over there to the right
Like nothing I've ever seen
