Lyrics: Sonic Youth. Bad Moon Rising. Ghost Bitch.

Slowly pour the liquid down
For miles and miles it flows along
Rose colored neon light
Swirl around turn around
Feel the touch of my hand
Swirl around, swirl around
Fellow shadows black and blue
All around all around

Locking arms side by side
Crouch down before the fire's light
You're the first day of my life

I had no belief before
Until I had this dream last night
Still remember savage cries
So serious in their rite
Faces painted in joyous fright
In the dawns of early light

Oh say, did you see the color of my eternity
And the sweat on my skin?
Our founding fathers laid right down
The Indian ghost from long ago
They gave birth to my bastard kin
America it is called, sensation of eternity

Locking arms side by side
Crouch down before the fire's light
You're the first day of my life
