Sonic Youth — Wish Fulfillment

[Verse 1] I see your wishes on the wall And that's all right with me I see you run to make a call Hoping that there's someone free Your life and my life, they don't touch at all And that's no way to be We've never seemed so far [Pre-Chorus 1] What's real? What's true? I ain't turning my back on you Where you going? Where you been? Making wishes, watching dreams [Chorus 1] It might be simple, it might be true I might be overwhelmed by you You might be empty The way your eyes just look right through It's such a mess now anyway Wish fulfillment every day I don't believe you Now I can't hear a word you say [Verse 2] I see you shaking in the light Reading the headline news The others, they're not quite so bright You want them to choose you I could almost see your face tonight Singing simple rhythm 'n' blues You'll always be a star [Pre-Chorus 2] Shake it baby, come on scream! Did I see your face in a magazine? Don't doubt it, that's the sore I can't stand it anymore [Chorus 2] It's my favorite shot of you You look so pretty, your eyes were true I'm still on your side In spite of everything you do We're only blood on light on life New pretty pictures every night Come wish beside me Don't you know, you know what's right?
