Sonic Youth - Hey Joni lyrics

hey Joni now I've put it all behind me too

these times can't add up

yr life is such a mess

forget the past, and just say yes

tell me Joni, am I the one

to see you through?

In this broken town can you still jack in

and know what to do?

I remember our youth, our high ideals

I remember you were so uptight

that time in the trees, we broke that vice

we took some steps and now

we can't think twice

tell me Joni, am I right by you?

Tell me how yr gonna lose this hard luck?

Hey Joni, when will all these dreams come true?

You'd better find a way

to climb down off that truck

shots ring out from the center of an empty field

Joni's in the tall grass

she's a beautiful mental jukebox

a sailboat explosion

a snap of electric whipcrack

she's not thinking about the future

She's not spinning her wheels

she doesn't think at all about the past

she thinking long and hard

about that high wild sound

and wondering will it last?

Kick it

Hey Joni, put it all behind you

There's something turning, Joni, turning right to you

my head burns, but I know you'll speak the truth, hey!

hey Joni, put it all behind you

hey Joni, now I've put it all behind me too

forget the future

these times are such a mess

tune out the past, and just say yes

it's 1963

it's 1964

it's 1957

it's 1962

put it all behind you

now it's all behind you
