Lyrics Sonic Youth

Sonic Youth

Paper Cup Exit

Skimmin' the tops of tall trees

Through the clear light of free speech

A sudden memory disease

Claims the air all around me

I'm gettin' lost in the slipstream

Make me relive the same dream

Of comin' in from the cold

And losin' half of my soul

Memory disease

Across United States

That I had told the truth

Feel so high, architectural

I look to the skies

To see our bodies

They were rising up

Out of the paper cup

A sea change is due

I don't seem to face you

Touchdown on the new Mason-Dixon

Line the map is ripped and torn

Jilted frame with all hope gone

I don't mind if you sing a different song

Sing a different song

Just as long as we sing, as we sing

Sing along

It's later than it seems

It's later than it seems

It's later than it seems

Time everyone came clean

It's what you didn't say

It's what you didn't say

Don't wanna be a slave

It's what you didn't

Skimmin' the tops of tall trees

Through the clear light of free speech

I'm comin' in for a landing

I've got a sole understanding

It all comes down to a word

It's just like nothin' I'd heard

Over the rainbow in time

Will be one hell of a climb

Highlights bright

The lights sweep high clear sky

Sky reminiscent

Of money in your eye

Unwind

Something else here

I don't mind if you sing a different song

Just as long as we sing

As we sing, sing along

It's later than it seems

It's later than it seems

It's later than it seems

New ears are listening

It's what you didn't say

It's what you didn't say

Don't wanna be a slave

It's what you didn't say

Nothing to give away
