On one of the recent Thurston Moore/Michael Chapman shows Thurston said before playing Orchard Street, "This is a song about a street that I was hanging out with somebody who I was falling in love with".
Milky cement light, radiation boys
Breaking happy heart, blood and liquid noise
I see yr searchlight eyes, the stoney demon bliss
Wet and drunken desire, dripping tears
Grape stained escape, an immortal kiss
Free Jazz hotel, sweet now girl whispers
Crazy crazy crazy night sky orange
Promise and deceit, blindfolds and prayer
Orchard Street is anchored in divinity's shadow
