Eric's Trip Lyrics - Sonic Youth

[Lee] 

{Whispered: Achooooo Braaaaancafest} 

I can't see anything at all 

All I see is me 

That's clear enough, that's what's important 

To see me 

My eyes can focus, my brain is talking 

It looks pretty good to me 

My head's on straight, my girlfriend's beautiful 

It looks pretty good to me 

Sometimes I speak 

Tonight there's nothing to say 

Sometimes we freak 

And laugh all day 

Hold these pages up to the light 

See the jackknife inside of the dream 

A railroad runs through the record stores at night 

Coming in for the deep freeze 

Mary: a simple word, are you there in the cold country? 

Your eyes so full, your head so tight 

Can't you hear me? 

Remember our talk 

That day on the phone 

I said I was the door, and you were the station 

With shattered glass, and miles between us 

We still flew away in the conversation 

My cup is full, and I feel okay 

The world is dull, but not today 

She thinks she's a goddess 

She says she talks to the spirits 

I wonder if she can talk to herself? 

If she can bear to hear it? 

This is Eric's trip 

We've all come to watch him slip 

He's slipping all the way to Texas 

Can you dig it? 

(Eric says "The sky is blue...") 

I see with a glass eye 

The pavement view 

A shadow forming, across fields rushing 

Through me to you 

We tear down our the world, and put up four walls 

I breathe in the myth 

I'm over the city, fucking the future 

I'm high and inside your kiss 

We can't see clear 

But what we see is alright 

We make up what we can't hear 

Then we sing all night 

Shattered pages and shattered lights 

See the jackknife; see the dream 

There's something moving over there, to the right 

Like nothing I've ever seen
