Sonic Youth
Hey Joni (Live)
[Chorus]
Hey Joni, put it all behind you
Hey Joni, now I've put it all behind me too
These times can't add up, your life's such a mess
Tune out the past and just say yes
[Verse 1]
Tell me Joni, am I the one
To see you through?
In this broken town, can you still jack in
And know what to do?
I remember our youth, high ideals
I remember you were so uptight
That time in the trees, we broke that vice
We took some steps and now we can't think twice
[Verse 2]
Tell me Joni, am I right by you?
Tell me how you'rе gonna lose this hard luck
Hey Joni, when will all thеse dreams come true?
You have to find a way to climb down off that truck
[Verse 3]
Shots ring out, center of an empty field
Joni's in the tall grass
A beautiful mental jukebox, a sailboat explosion
A snap of electric whip crack
She's thinking about the future, spinning her wheels
Doesn't think at all about the past
Long and hard about that wild sound
And wondering, will it last?
[Guitar Solo]
Kick it
[Bridge]
There's something turning, it's turning to you
Head burns, you speak the truth, hey
[Chorus]
Hey Joni, put it all behind you
Hey Joni, now I've put it all behind me too
These times can't add up, your life's such a mess
Tune out the past and just say yes
[Outro]
It's 1963
It's 1964
Now it's 1957
It's 1962
Put it all behind you
Now it's all behind you
