Sonic Youth - Trilogy Lyrics
-------- a) The Wonder ---------- [Thurston] See flashing eyes They're flashing 'cross to me Burnin' up the sky Sunshining into me Your locus crown 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 black night Your spirit flares Flarin' 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 flashing eyes They're flashing 'cross to me Burnin' up the sky Sunshining into me Your locus crown Cop-killin' heartbeat Head's lookin' down Bowin' out, to the street I'm just walkin' around Your city is a wonder town -- Source: _Sonic Life_ biography and the original recordings.

Kids just up for basketball, beat me in my head There's bum trash in my hall and my place is ripped I've totaled another amp, I'm calling in sick It's an anthem in a vacuum on a hyperstation Day dreaming days in a daydream nation -- Source: interpreted from original recordings.

White Corrections: Rob Vaughn 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 -- Source: interpreted from original recordings.
