Me & Jill/Hendrix Cosby

Sonic Youth

We had just left shore when everything began to happen at once 
The water came in and we started to go down 
I looked at jill and she looked back, thinking it would be alright to go down 
Then the railings broke and the motors gave out 
The hall emptied out and no-one was left for the band 
The amps all wet, speakers burst, soaked 

We, up three flight now, tried to meet up with the galley crew 
But it seemed everyone had gone 
We had a smoke to pass some time 
Jill said ``I'd love to, right now" 
What could i say, we did while the waters rose, licking our feet 
It was fun and funny so we laughed 
I loved the way she could laugh, so full bodied 

When we hit the sky we were high over the rooves 
A field of gnarled antennas coiling upwards 
Waves and waveforms joining in a nice hot blast 
So different from the boat 
The cold silver sky opened for us and we passed through 
Last i saw of jill she was heading into the coils of the antennae 
Laughing, so beautiful 
Saying she hadn't yet had her fill of the boys there and the electricity 
Saying she wanted to plug in again and fry a bit 
I said ``watch the water love" 
She kept laughing and shook her hair 
She said ``I'd love to, right now, you know" 
So we did, and had a smoke too, and her lips parted 
There in amongst the coiling snakes of an antenna she looked right at home 
The waves came up and a blinding flash caught me dreaming of her 
As she looked all crossed with wires and sparks watching the blast 
Everything went orange and all my thoughts dissolved inwards in the cloud 
I thought one last: how different from the sea is the boat
