Lyrics

Got No Mind (version 2)

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Tonight the city is full of....radios

and all the distortion pedals are melted

there's Sonic Youth posters nailed up onto

the...ceiling

and the roof is falling down on my brain

that's why

I got no mind

I got no mind

got no mind

somebody burned down the picnic

and somebody kissed their own ass by mistake

and the cliches are gettin eaten up

by the termites with the malt liquor

and the guitar tuners and the Pussy Galore song

that's why

I play all night

I got no mind

feel so fine

and the big radio sound is pumping up and down

jumpin thru the hoops

making every motion seem like forever

there's air conditioning and brand new nails

and phone calls from people in Chicago

...why

pay no mind

got no mind

stay outside

so turn up the levels

and talk to your devils

and bust out your tennis shoes and your mayonnaise

it's all the situations and all the celebrations

and all the contaminations that make you

breed off the carpet

that's why

I pay no mind

(cough) got no mind

might need a cough drop

well there's verses and sounds

falling like pounds and pounds of

sand weights from the heavens

and she dangles like a bottle

talkin thru the steering wheels

and broken pantyhose

that's why

I pay no mind

sleep in slime

put out CDs

the amplifiers are amplifying

the things that you never knew

could ever be the same as you

there's wires and plugs

and slugs slithering out into the paint thinner

that's why

I pay no mind

I pay no mind

got no mind

your swivel chairs and sunglasses

and your fully-blown out scenes of ecstasy

turn up the volume and the treble

and call them all the nasty things that you can

stick into your paper

with your pen

shove your pen up into the air

write everything and

like you just don't care

but it feels good

when you pull off the scenery

and there's puppets and dollar bills

and there's weight-loss pills

and there's cherries and there's potato chips

and the time is runnin low

and there's nowhere else to go

so let's go down

666 up into

I'm raising all my lows
