- Sonic Youth - In the Kingdom #19 (lyrics)
They were
Aaaah
He did what he had to do
He asked no questions
He had few conversations
The tar glistens in the noon heat
He tread across the grass, up onto, and down off of, the concrete abutments
Mirage on the highway
Ghosts in the tunnel
The dark cave
Out into the blinding light of day at breakneck speed
Every bolt rumbling
Glistening highway mirage groans
The slick surface
Careening into first the small mammal, and then screeching along the guard
Rail, scraping paint and throwing sparks like sheets of pure terror for
400 yards
Over and over
With one final back and forth rocking motion coming to rest
Wheeehah
The beautiful paintjob hopelessly marred
Smoke and flames
Allright
So nice
He moved to the small creature
Screeching whistles of steam blowing off
On it's back, wheels spinning like a cinema classic
The door sags open and a man covered in blood drops the three feet or so to
The pavement
The car still rattling and shaking as if with a mind of it's own, unwilling
To die
The man, 40ish, also after a time, an agonisingly painful period of time
Is also unwilling to die
Suddenly all is quite quiet there in the sunlight on the highway
But what? what can i do?
I cannot move, everything is about broken
Blood everywhere, mixing with oil and gas
What's moving, must turn my head
Pain, white light, blinded
Some guy there kneeling in the blinded mirage of white light
All my strength to 'heeeeeelp'
Screaming now help me please
He tried to tamp out the bit of burning ember which had lept from the wreck
Onto his grimy coatsleeve
Coughing blood
What's happen?
He's he's inching towards truth
He strode of into the woods with the animal
It still lived
He didn't glance back at all
Still out ghosting the road
Death on the highway
Words crumble around me and fall with the weight of heaven
I cannot move
I'm beneath the great weight
I cannot see
My eyes are blinded
I am in the darkness
That's it
{very low in the mix}
In panic i forget it
In despair i need it
In my mind i save it
In death i have it
{then a bit louder}
In panic i forget it
In despair i need it
I shouldn't laugh
Hah hah hah
Yeah really
Oh
In panic i forget it
In despair i need it
In my mind i save it
In death i have it
[Thurston?]
Never gave a damn about the meterman
I was the man who had to read the meters, man

i'm listening to this now because i recently read that the loud pops and screaming are Thurston tossing firecrackers into the studio while Lee was recording.
It's a well known story, that's why you hear Lee, who wasn't expecting it, screaming "WAIT!" when he realises what Thurston is about to do!
He did what he had to do
Lee's "WAIT!" sounds too scripted rather than accidental, at least to my ears.
How does is have no comments? This is the sickest avant garde song of the 80's!
Not really, its pretty late for 85 since its based off suicide and takes more influence from dinosaur jr than the no wave they were known for at the time. This was their most mainstream album except maybe second to sonic nurse
@@shouzhengtang2692 dirty and goo lol
it’s so weird how my favorite songs from teen years are never forgotten
Tom Violence's big brother.
Mike Watt is quoting 'what is it' by the Minutemen at the end. I have this quote tattooed on me, although what's strange is that D Boon didn't finish the song with 'in death, I have it'.
*it's it*
retorcidamente hermoso, la mejor composición que se halla creado
it was my favorite when i was 14
this shit will forever go hard
This kinda reminds me of the Atrocity Exhibition
every bolt rumbling
Mike Watt played bass on this, after D. Boon died.
robinstigator thank you. wow.
*BEST piece on the album*
What a fucking banger
...endless..
Is this song dedicated to D. Boon?
Baked beans brought me here
This isn't the album version, is it?
It is, at least on CD.
I think It's mike watt talking at the very end?
