Wish I could change the way that you feel
Standing with him, you feel more real
Looking so sweet with all your might
Trusted in him to put it might
Holding his head like a brand new kite
Blue eyes sparkle, open up alright
Wish I could see the girl who’d fight
Playing and laughing and trying to show it
Running and falling and dying to know it
Staring you down with her gaze, hold it
Wish I could free you, but I can’t, don’t blow it
Angel
Gonna show it
Lord
The devil
Go on hold it
Angel
Gonna show it
Lord
Blow it
Becuz of you, becuz of you
Becuz of you, becuz of you
Becuz of you, becuz of you
Becuz of you, becuz of you
Becuz of you, becuz of you
Becuz of you, becuz of you
Becuz of you, becuz of you
Becuz of you, becuz of you
Wish I could free you, but I can’t, don’t blow it
Wish I could free you, but I can’t, don’t know it
A hundred dollars used to be more than enough
And now a hundred times a day and still it’s not enough
People always tell me you get what you deserve
All I know is all and all it’s all I’ve heard
I heard you say “You know I hate myself, but I love everybody else”
And did you say “I can’t escape myself”
And then you did and now there’s no one else
To blame you know that I know, yeah, that times are rough
I’d like to help you out, but things are rather tough
People always tell me that you got to lend a helping hand
Nothing in return is all I expect from you my friend
I heard you say “You know I hate myself, but I love everybody else”
And did you say “I can’t escape myself”
And then you did and now there’s no one else
I heard you say “You know I hate myself, but I love everybody else”
And did you say “I can’t escape myself”
And then you did and now there’s no one else
Swirling whirling through the city of ages
You sink a bit whenever angels fly
You have a feeling for their fuzzy faces
Are you close enough to see into their eyes?
You’re magic fit and free
Taxi holds on the breeze
A dream of dream’s of feelings
That never fall at all
Holds his thoughts in chains
And tries to bust up the walls
Every day it’s just another breath
Every night another little death
Do you scratch and itch when your head feels tight?
Or wave it away and just stay out all night?
Got your head in the trees
If that’s the way you’re feeling
It’s not good or bad
Channels of thought revealing now
Some things we all had
I’m having a wonderful vision of the city today
Buildings all lined up neat on straight sun lit blocks
Avenue canyons stretch forever
Handcut panes grooved like a record
Flat bridge
Pier
Boat
Docks
I’m slipping around the bottom edge
(Slipping around the bottom edge)
(I’m slipping around the bottom edge)
(The bottom edge)
(Around the bottom edge)
(I’m slipping around the bottom edge)
(Slipping around the bottom edge)
(Bottom edge)
Do you trip and breeze down city streets?
Just a little fray with your head in the trees
Yeah, I take my baby down to the street and I buy him a soda pop
He’s so sweet
Oh, right now
Oh, right now
Oh, right now
You said
“If you want, I’ll be the boy”
Take you out and have some fun
I never, never, ever, ever tell no one
To the end ‘till the morning comes
Yeah, I take my baby down to the corner and I buy him a soda pop
Hmm, hmm
Oh, right now
Oh, right now
Oh, right now
Oh, right now
“If you want, I’ll be the boy”
Take you out and have some fun
Flip a quarter for the toss
I like mine with apple sauce
Yeah, I take my baby down to the corner and I buy him a soda pop
Cuz he’s so neat
Sweet
Oh, right now
Oh, right now
Oh, right now
Okay now
“If you want, I’ll be the boy”
Shake my legs and have some fun
My heart’s spinnin’ round like a washing machine
Never saw the devil look so damn clean
Yeah, I take my baby down to the corner and I buy him a soda pop
And he said “Honey, you look so fine.”
And I say “Okay, oh, right, okay, oh, right.”
I was walking up Lafayette street
It’s real empty
And I looked out and it turned into a big field
And I looked up in the sky
And I looked up in the clouds
And I saw this face looking down at me
And it’s a woman’s face
And she threw a quarter down at me and she said
“Honey, here’s a quarter, go put it in a washing machine.”
And then I looked up at her
I looked like
Lay down your lucky hand upon her heart
Morning becomes a kite tangled up in stars
Laugh in the noon-day light and leave it behind
Move out into his sundry eyes and sing unwind
Hang down your lucky head, a sign to time
Morning becomes the sun for the dandelion
Sooner than a noon-day light we leave behind
Love is out into the sundry light you sing unwind
Little Trouble Girl
(Kim Gordon & Kim Deal with Lorette Velvette and Melissa Dunn)
If you want me to
I will be the one
That is always good
And you’ll love me too
But you’ll never know
What I feel inside
That I’m really bad
Little trouble girl
Remember mother
We were close
Very, very close (tra la la)
You taught me how to feel good
Flow down life we understood (tra la la)
Curl my hair and eyelash (tra la la)
Pinch my cheeks and do my lips (tra la la)
Swing my hips just like you (tra la la)
Smile and behave (tra la la)
A circle of perfection, it’s what you gave (tra la la)
Then one day I met a guy
He stole my heart, no alibi (tra la la)
He said “Romance is a ticket to paradise” (tra la la)
Momma, I’m not too young to try (tra la la)
We kissed
We hugged
We were close
Very, very close (tra la la)
We danced in the sand
And the water rose, higher and higher
Until I found myself floating in the sky (tra la la)
I’m sorry mother
I’d rather fight than have to lie
If you want me to
I will be the one
That is always good
And you’ll love me too
But you’ll never know
What I feel inside
That I’m really bad
Little trouble girl
Little trouble girl
Cross my heart and hope to die (little trouble girl)
I cannot tell a lie (little trouble girl)
(Little trouble girl)
Ah huh
(Little trouble girl)
Ah huh
(Little trouble girl)
Ah huh
(Little trouble girl)
Ah huh
(Little trouble girl)
Ah huh
(Little trouble girl)
Ah huh
(Little trouble girl)
Ah huh
(Little trouble girl)
Ah huh
Hey! Hey! Where’re you going in such a hurry?
Take it easy girl and tell me a story
Move on over here, slow it down
Tell me why you’ve been run out of town

Everybody’s free cuz everybody knows that you’re the queen of
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
Hey! Hey! Where’re you going in such a rush?
Hey, girl I think they think you know too much
They can’t catch you with me cuz I move too slow
Slow enough to know that you’re gonna have to go

They can never find out about me and the queen of
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no

Peek-a-boo, look into the mirror
Now you see her, now you’ll be her
Hover your lips
Twirl your hair
Pretend you’re there
Pretend it ain’t there
Little girl playing in the closet
First comes walking, then comes talking
Peek-a-boo, look into the mirror
She says “Who am I?”
Inside, outside
Inside, outside, inside, outside, inside, outside, inside, outside
Inside, outside
Shooba, shooba, shooba, shooba, shooba, shooba, shooba, shooba

This she did in public for us to see
She came in here too drunk to do the show
Between the trains and cars
Broken glass and lost hubcaps
Images of a gun
Row house, row house pass through
Let the city rise up to fill the screen
Clothes flung out of closets
Doorknobs falling off
The guitar guy played real good feedback
And super sounding riffs
With his mild mannered look on
Yeah, he was truly hip
The girl started out in red patent leather
Very “I’m in a band” with knee pads
We watch her fall over and lay down
Shouting the poetic truths
Of high school journal keepers
Row house, row house pass through
Let the city rise up
Twister, dust buster, hospital bed
I’ll see you, see you, see you on the highway
Now we told, so merge ideas of song forms and freedom
Miss seafood, miss cheesecake, a couple of miss doughnuts
The edge of a blade pressed to the throat of your reflected image
Poised, yet totally screwed up
Yes sir, yes sir step right up
None of us know
Where we’re trying to get to
What sort of life were we trying to build?
Now we told, so merge ideas of song forms and freedom
Seasons out of life
Nothing is out of reach
LA is more confusing now than anywhere I’ve ever been to
I’m from New York City, breath it out and let it in
Where are you now
When your broken eyes are closed?
Head in a cloudy dream, green and sailboats
Borrowed and never returned
Emotions, books, outlooks on life
Time takes it’s crazy toll
And how does your mirror grow?
You better watch yourself when you jump into it
Cuz the mirror’s gonna steal your soul
I wonder how it came to be my friend?
That someone just like you has come again
You’ll never, never know how close you came
Until you fall in love with the diamond rain
Throw all his trash away
Look out he’s here to stay
Your mirror’s gonna crack when he breaks into it
And you’ll never, never be the same
Look into his eyes and you can see
Why all the little kids are dressed in dreams
I wonder how he’s gonna make it back
When he sees that you just know it’s make believe?
Blood crystallized to sand
And now I hope you understand
You reflect into his looking glass soul
And now the mirror is your only friend
Look into his eyes and you will see
That men are not alone on the diamond sea
Sail into the heart of the lonely storm
And tell her that you’ll love her eternally
Time takes it’s crazy toll
Mirror fallin’ off the wall
You better look out for the looking glass girl
Cuz she’s gonna take you for a fall
Look into his eyes and you shall see
Why everything is quiet and nothing’s free
I wonder how he’s gonna make her smile
When love is running wild on the diamond sea?
