Lyrics   status: unconfirmed

Nothing but a savage blur
In your face, in your land
The weight of you is greater than
Forgot my pride
Forgot my side
Don't bother to leave
There's no room outside
Your sense of pride
Nothing here but a savage blur

NOTES:

• Thurston once commented that this song is one of his favorite Sonic Youth recordings.
• Seemingly performed live only on the 1983 European tour. During the song's outro, a "scream tape" was played thru an amp, and the screams served as a bridge into "Burning Spear" (as seen on Live in Venlo and Sonic Death). The "Scream Tape" was later released as its own track on a Tellus compilation.

ALTERNATE VERSIONS:

• On "Live in Venlo" - LIVE - 6:11

  Recorded live on 11/27/83 in Venlo, Holland. Segues into Burning Spear via the Scream Tape.
