Sonic Youth - The Empty Page lyrics

[Thurston]

these are the words

but not the truth

god bless them all

when they speak to you

but thats all right

on an empty stage

sing out when

theres no other way

come drift the town

where secrets lie

where friends & neighbors

keep drifting by

but thats all right

you're here to stay

sing out tonight

the empty page

i always thought i'd see

your name in flashing light

you did it all for free girl

& freely ripped the night

(yr free to fight)

these are the words

but not the truth

god bless them all

when they speak to you

but thats all right

you're here to stay

sing out tonight

the empty page

do you remember the time

when you were new in town

you smashed yr head in the mirror baby

and kissed the frozen ground

(yr ripped up sound)
