My nerves are busted
And my heart is gone
I think I once was different
But I might be wrong
There's ghosts in the attic
And GHOULS in the wall*
But it's alright
I don't care at all
'Cause I'm yours and you're mine
And that's, that's all that I know right now
That's all, that's all
I know right now
It's dark outside
Except for a pinpoint of light
FROM a LITTLE GOLD TOOTH
Lost in a fight
I DUCK outside
I pick it up from the street
I stomp on it once
And lay it at your feet
Oh baby it's dark out there BUT
Oh baby it's dark in here
Oh darling I don't care oh no
The TV's up against
The wall like a painting
And everybody here
In the museum is fainting
But me myself
I've got FROTH on my lips
It's delicious lady
Won't you have a sip?
Might say HALL, but I'm not sure . . .
P.S. By the way, you did know this song is not a Sonic Youth original, right? It was written by New York punk poet Richard Hell, and it was first recorded by The Neon Boys. If you haven't heard the original, I suggest you check it out - good stuff.
Just correcting some of these lyrics:
