Lyrics   status: unconfirmed

Here it comes again out of the rain
Seems to have a new kind of same
Been playin' on a simple ride
Sign comes alive and speaks the mind

It turns to me and it turns to gold
It turns to see a fast lane slow

It's been away too long
It's been away I'm gone
East coast and on
To the west star

Lookin' out I thought I saw it blink
Coming on to me like a silver eye

Pick it up and tune it on in
Head on out to a western starland

It's been a man and gone
Now it's singing a song
Like a western star
It's going my way

Looking out I'm back in time to stay
Into the eastern sign away

It comes alive thru, through and clearer
A ghost arrives to, to your mirror

You've been away too long
It's been way too long
Eastern star is on
A disappearer

Track length: 4:55 (Goo Demos) 4:59 (Goo Deluxe)

NOTES:

  • "Disappearer" 8-track demo recorded in November 1989 @ Waterworks in NYC.
  • The demo was actually initially released on the Disappearer single as "Disappearer (8 Track Demo Version)". It appears on the Goo Demos release as "Number One".
  • The Waterworks demos were all remixed by Jim O'Rourke & SY for the 2005 Goo deluxe reissue. In many cases, the difference is significant.
