Thurston Moore - On the Strip lyrics

[Verse 1] Every time you look my way You shine a light in what you say Every time you look my way You talk a rhyme called purple haze [Chorus] Close your eyes and pretend You're not at all a black friend [Verse 2] A smile-less girl on the strip You really learn just how to be hip Tell yr stories 'bout your crazy trip Messing with stars and doing tricks [Chorus] Close your eyes and pretend It started all back then [Verse 3] Big gla** house on the hill Doing dope but did you swear Yesterday was buried last year While i don't care i thought was clear [Chorus] Close your eyes and pretend This is how it should end [Verse 4] Cinderella of the night Doesn't know her left from right She so hungry for a bite Forget your friends for a big night Don't you know who's keeping score Who's that barking at your door [Bridge] Hold tight with fear, a little bit Hold tight with fear, a little bit Hold tight with fear, a little bit Hold tight with fear That was then, this is now [x2] [Verse 5] Every time you look my way Remember a girl who used to say Hold me tight any way It's okay it's only play [Outro] I will remember in my dawn What i came for, for a lark
