He's runnin' on a tuff gnarl in his head.
He's got a fatal erection home in bed.
He's really smart, and he's really fast.
He's got a hard tit killer fuck in his past.
Saints preserve us and hot young stuff:
The saving grace is a sonic pigpile.
Amazing, grazing, strange and raging
Flies are flaring through your brains.
Spastic flailing literally raising my roof.
An adrenal mental man-toolbox
explodes in music,
Creates utopia
You gnarl out my nerves,
you weird and crush the cranking raunch.
Flesh dirt forcefield lost and found.
Let's burn your broken heart,
Set our sites on sites not yet set.
Let's scorch your wave-o wig,
Let's poke your eyes out.

    This is a Sonic Youth song from 'Sister'. Apparently the lyrics are a combination of reviewers words about the band all mixed up. If this is so, I'd REALLY like to read them in their proper context, because the images are VERY bizarre indeed
