Trilogy Lyrics - Sonic Youth

-------- 

a) The Wonder 

---------- 

[Thurston] 

See flashing eyes 

They're flashing 'cross to me 

Burnin' up the sky 

Sunshining into me 

Your locus crown 

Cop-killin' heartbeat 

Head's lookin' down 

Bowin' out, to the street 

I'm just walkin' around 

Your city is a wonder town 

Lips red to white 

Lips green in black night 

Your spirit flares 

Flarin' up leonine 

I'm just walkin' around 

Your city is a wonder town 

Transmitter rhyme 

Transmitter, all the time 

Lookin' up to the sky 

I'm seein' ghosts flyin' 

I'm just walkin' around 

Your city is a wonder town 

I think I've been there, once before 

Something tells me, there's so much more 

She's back in town, to even the score 

It's time to go 

See flashing eyes 

They're flashing 'cross to me 

Burnin' up the sky 

Sunshining into me 

Your locus crown 

Cop-killin' heartbeat 

Head's lookin' down 

Bowin' out, to the street 

I'm just walkin' around 

Your city is a wonder town

b) Hyperstation 

------------ 

Falling out of sleep, I hit the floor 

Put on some rock tee and I'm out with the door 

From Bowery to Broome to Greene, I'm a walking lizard 

Last night's dream was a talking baby lizard 

All comin' from hu-man imagination 

Day dreaming days in a daydream nation 

Smashed-up against a car at three A.M. 

Kids just up for basketball, beat me in my head 

There's bum trash in my hall and my place is ripped 

I've totaled another amp, I'm calling in sick 

It's an anthem in a vacuum on a hyperstation 

Day dreaming days in a daydream nation

z) Eliminator Jr. 

-------------- 

Kids cruise away, pack of chickenshits 

This guy is ours, dark stains on his pants 

Enough to make a butcher out of the bone 

Take a walk in the park? Shit, yeah! 

A poor boy, a rich boy 

A poor rich boy coming right through me 

Rich boy, poor boy 

Poor rich boy coming right through me
