Sonic Youth - Skip Tracer lyrics

how have you been caroline

living ok

home in PA

see how the color left from our faces

from when, when we were younger

just yesterday i was making the reach

went for a swim in lover's beach

and there i met friends and i neared the bay

until i felt sick

but you were my friend

don't you know how i needed you then

i felt nervous when you shook and cried

the circles under your eyes

made love til you reached the clouds

through the ceilings and walls that surround

one time you drove through heat and hard rain

three hundred miles in the roots of your pain

things get so far back in your mind

that we don't connect

but you were my friend

at the turn of my life's events

i felt weak in the hold of your soul

and your blood-red eyes even more

but the feelings that stay with you now

get lost over time somehow
