Keeping with the record's theme, sounds like it's about a runaway kid's story on L.A. The guitar riff where Kim's singing "hold tight and fear..." it's a true work of art, it expresses so much angst. I believe I've gone somehow deaf blasting that part on my headphones.
I've updated the lyrics straight from the SY and mustang's sites:
Every time you look my way
You showed a lie in what you say
Every time you look my way
You talk a rhyme called purple haze
Close your eyes and pretend
You're not at all like them
Smartest girl on the strip
You really know just how to be hip
Tellin stories 'bout your crazy trip
Messin with stars and doing tricks
Close your eyes and pretend
It's not at all like then
Big glass house on the hill
Doing dope and ditching school
Yesterday Bruce Barry was here
A wild kid I thought was cool
Close your eyes and pretend
This is how it should end
Cinderella of the night
Doesn't know her left from right
She's so hungry for a bite
Forgetting her friends fork and knife
Don't you know who's keeping score?
Who's that barking at your door?
Hold tight and fear a little bit
Hold tight and fear a little bit
Hold tight and fear a little bit
Hold tight and fear
That was then, this is now
Every time you look my way
Remember a girl who used to say
Hold me tight anyway
It's okay, it's only play
I remember in the dark
Where I came from for a lark
