by Sonic Youth

on Youth* - Goo Demos (1991)

Talkin' to a punker priest
Just doggin' the breeze
Bout bein' in a tree
(he says it's free now)
Along comes Mary Christ
Skatin' light on ice
Says let's go on high
(later, priestoid)

Gotta go, I got a date now
Yeah I know, shall not be late now

Possessed by X-ray eyes
Her spirits flies
Into my lies
(let's burn em out now) ??
Wraps my head in skin
Says now I'm in
Dig the candy sin
(yeh spit it out now)

Every time she sings that low song
Every time I know I'm right/wrong

Angel in a devil skirt
Buys me a shirt
Says I hope you like
(like what now)
Hope, I hope you like
Like you like yr hope
With the tightest rope
(i see, i know)

Here we go, I been waiting so long
Yeah I know, for Mary to come along

Talkin' to a punker priest
Just doggin' the breeze
Bout bein' in a tree
(he says it's free now)
Along comes Mary Christ
Skatin' light on ice
Says "let's go on high"
(later, priestoid!)

Gotta go, I got a date now
Yeah I know, shall not be late now

Possessed by X-ray eyes
Her spirits flies
Into my lies
(let's burn em out now)
Angel in a devil skirt
Buys me a shirt
Says I hope you like
(spit it out now)

Here we go, been waitin' so long
Yeah I know, for Mary to come along
