SONIC YOUTH LYRICS - Mote

"Mote"



[Lee]

When you see the spiral turning through alone

And you feel so heavy that you just can't stop it

When this sea of madness turns you into stone

Picture of your life shoots like a rocket

All the time



Put 'me' in the equation it's alright

I've seen you moving in and out of sight

My friends tell me it's all cut through you (?)

From nowhere - to nowhere

Cut together - cutting through



I'm island-bound, a mote inside my eye

I can't see you breathing as before

I am airless - a vacuum child

I can't stand to reason at your door

In this time



Put 'me' in the equation it's alright

I've seen you moving in and out of sight

My friends tell me it's all cut through you (?)

From nowhere - to nowhere

Come together



I'm down in the daytime out of sight

Comin' in from dreamland I'm on fire

I can see it's all been here before

Dream a dream that lies right at your door



When the seasons circle sideways out of turn

And words don't speak just fall across the carpet

You're just in time to watch the fires burn

It seems a crime but yr. face is bright you love it

All the time...
