Small Flowers Crack Concrete Lyrics - Nyc Ghosts & Flowers - Sonic Youth

(Thurston/Kim) 

small flowers crack concrete 

narcotic squads sweep thru poet dens 

spilling coffee grabbing 15 yr old runaway girls 

by frazzled ponytailed hair + tossing them 

into backseats of cop cars 

the narcs beat the bearded oracles 

replacing tantric love with 

complete violence

lights + mirrors dot the city 

inkstained hippies w/ boxed lunch + marijuana 

mystery plays of shit and nothingness 

blessed by colors from a black hat 

blue lights search thru weeds 

searching for the heart of d.a. levy 

and the mind he left behind 

what didjoo expect? another mystic wreck? 

thats whatchoo got crawling inside yr panic net 

whatdidjoo bring me? not a goddam thing yeh 

+ whatdidjoo leave me? another tombstone dream yeh 

o salacious mansion, the boys held for ransom 

didja see where he1s gone? the blasted summers dawn 

fucked up in cleveland fucked up in cleveland 

short flight to nothing heavens up to something heavens up to something 

levys up to something levys up to something 

Photos 

death poems for the living gods of america 

plastic saxophones bleat, bleed for nothing, nada 

cops crashing thru doors infuriated by silver charms 

of suburban smoke 

at war with patches of red dirt glitter 

and bluejean fucking + protest
