I’m Not There Sonic Youth

Things are crashing better, she's all too tight
In my neighbourhood she cry both day and night
It's a milestone but she's down on her luck
Days make her so lonely and it's so hard to buck
Now and then

I believe that she'd stop him if she'd find time to care
I believe that she may look upon decidin' whose to care
And I go by the Lord, anywhere she's on my way
But I don't belong there

No, I don't belong to her, I don't belong to every choir
She's my Christ-forsaken angel but she don't hear me cry
She's a lone-hearted mystic and she can't carry on
When I'm there she's all right, then she's not when I'm gone

Heaven knows that the answer, she don't con no one
She's the way forsaken beauty, she's mine for the one
And I lost her hesitating 'bout temptation as it runs
She don't harm me
I'm not there, I'm gone

Now I cried tonight, like I cried the night before
And I'll feast on the highway but I'll dream about the door
It's alone, she's forsaken by her fate, words to tell
It don't have approximation, she is smiling fairly well
