Sonic Youth - On the Strip [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
Every time you look my way
You shine a light in what you say
Every time you look my way
You talk a rhyme called purple haze

[Chorus]
Close your eyes and pretend
You're not at all a black friend

[Verse 2]
A smile-less girl on the strip
You really learn just how to be hip
Tell yr stories 'bout your crazy trip
Messing with stars and doing tricks

[Chorus]
Close your eyes and pretend
It started all back then

[Verse 3]
Big glass house on the hill
Doing dope but did you swear
Yesterday was buried last year
While i don't care i thought was clear

[Chorus]
Close your eyes and pretend
This is how it should end

[Verse 4]
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

[Bridge]
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 [x2]

[Verse 5]
Every time you look my way
Remember a girl who used to say
Hold me tight any way
It's okay it's only play

[Outro]
I will remember in my dawn
What i came for, for a lark
