Sonic Youth — Hits of Sunshine For Allen Ginsberg

Today I said goodbye To my conflicted goddess Her lush eyes show surprise At how we could gather knowledge The painting has a dream Where shadow breaks the scene And the colors run off Blue is bashful, green is my goal Yellow girls are running backwards Until the next time with six hits of sunshine The lights will blind us with blues in haiku The shadow has a dream Where painters look to sea The colors burn out Now I know where I once saw you Stepping into muddy water John's reflection decried perfection Now you walk him through the garden Waiting in the wings Painters share their dreams With falling colors See me wave goodbye forever Happiness the goddess lover Hurry back, remember last time The hits of sunshine, the hits of goldmine I'll see you back tonight Where painters love the light And yellow shadow girls [Instrumental] Today I say goodbye To my conspicuous goddess Her lush eyes show surprise About how we capture knowledge I'll see you back tonight Where shadows dream of light Let's slip on outside
