The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
Bleeding on your highway baby
Harvest is a' coming in the season of Dying
I trace the skull in your face and remember
I kissed a girl with 13 fingers
Mutate
Insectile
Mutate
I cum malignant, cold death-gasm
-?-
I pulse and twitch, I release and spasm
I heard Satan on the AM radio
I trace the skull in your face and remember
I kissed a girl with 13 fingers, kissed a girl with 13 fingers
Mutate
Insectile
Mutate
Insectile
GO GO GO
Blood makes the grass grow
I heard the ghost of Hitler on the radio
GO GO GO
Blood makes the grass grow
I blew a load of Jesus into Mary's hole
I trace the skull in your face and remember
I kissed a dark-eyed girl with 13 fingers
I see the -?- deep down -?-
Fuck it, Fuck it
[-?- Raped you]
Fuck it, Fuck it
I understand the bleeding but don't know why
It's so easy to watch you cry
It's so fuckin' easy to watch you cry
I understand the bleeding but don't know why
I understand the bleeding but don't know why
It's so easy to watch you die
It's so fuckin' easy to watch you die
It's so easy to watch you die
Harvest is a' coming in the season of Dying
I trace the skull in your face and remember
I kissed a girl with 13 fingers

It's so easy to watch you die
It's so fuckin' easy to watch you die
It's so easy to watch you die

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
