Lyrics Sonic Youth

Sonic Youth

The Neutral

He's not a dreamer or a schemer,

Running away from me

He's not a singer, an entertainer

With no follow through

He's not a poet or a mystic

With his cigarette unglued

He's just neutral, yeah he's weary

Not even brand new

It's a perfect sin

Close your eyes and lose the rest

It's a perfect sin

Close your mind and feel the best

Everyone has a headache

Imprecise, hard to cure

Got to shake it, what ails you

The lines are a blur

Is it a pain in your heart

Dark and gray from the start

You won't seduce me, or attract me

Just 'cause you're a stray

It's a perfect sin

Close your eyes and lose the rest

It's a perfect sin

Close your mind and feel the best

Why won't you tell me what's inside your head

Why won't you show me your secret bed, secret bed?

He's not a dreamer or a schemer

Running away from you

He's not a singer, an entertainer

With no follow through

He's not a poet or a mystic

With his cigarette unglued

He's not a cowboy or a loner with nothing to do

He is neutral yeah he's weary,

Not even brand new

He is neutral, yeah he's weary

And he's so in love with you
