Sonic Youth Lyrics

"Dig This!" lyrics


Collage of (She's In A) Bad Mood, Confusion is Next, Shaking Hell,
The World Looks Red, and Burning Spear.

[(She's In A) Bad Mood]
She's in a bad mood
But I won't fall for it
I believe all her lies
But I can't fall for it

She's in a bad mood
But i won't fall for it
I believe all her lies
But i can't fall for it

[Confusion Is Next]
I maintain that
Chaos is the future
And beyond it is freedom
Confusion is next and next after that is the truth
You gotta cultivate what you need to need
Sonic tooth
Sonic tooth
Sonic tooth

Stick your fingers
In your mouth
Squeeze your tongue
And wrench it out
From its ugly fucking cancer
Its ugly fucking cancer
Root
You gotta cultivate what you need to need
Sonic tooth
Sonic tooth
Sonic tooth

Chaos is the future
And beyond it is freedom
Confusion is next and next after that is the truth
You gotta cultivate what you need to need
Sonic tooth
Sonic tooth
Sonic tooth
Sonic tooth

Stick your fingers
In your mouth
Squeeze your tongue
And wrench it out
From its ugly fucking cancer
Its ugly fucking cancer
Root
You gotta cultivate what you need to need
Sonic tooth
Sonic tooth
Sonic tooth
Sonic tooth

Tell nothing but the truth

[Shaking Hell]
She's finally discovered she's a...
He told her so
She's finally discovered she's a...
He told her so
She's finally discovered she's a...
He told her so

Come closer and I'll tell you
Come closer and I'll tell you
Come closer and I'll take off your dress

I'll take off your dress
I'll shake off your flesh
I'll shake off your flesh
I'll shake off your flesh

Shake off your flesh
Shake off your flesh

Turn around
Turn around
Turn around

Shake
Shake
Shake
Shake
Shake
Shake
Shake
Shake
Shake
Shake

Shake off your flesh
Shake off your flesh
Shake off your flesh
Shake off your flesh

Shake shake
[repeat eighteen times]

Shake

[The World Looks Red]
Push it away
The world looks red
People with fish eyes
The ground sucks
Walk on my fingertips
Displacing the fog
The weight of my body
is too mush to bear
The memory drained
the life from the dull
An ocean of insects
worked like a sheet
the immovable fact
Buried my mind
in a horse-hair coat
in a pile
on the floor

Push it away
The world looks red
People with fish eyes
The ground sucks
Walk on my fingertips
Displacing the fog
The weight of my body
Is too much to bear
The memory drained
The life from the doll
The ocean of insects
Moved like a sheet
The immovable fact
Buried my mind
In a horsehair coat
In a pile
On the floor

[The Burning Spear]
I'm not afraid to say I'm scared
In my bed I'm deep in prayer
I trust the speed I love the fear
The music comes
The burning spear
