Patti Smith
Hidros 3, pt. 9: Voice
"Hey, chick in the water, chick in the water!", they used to shout
Well, I tell you [?] those were days
I shot the lord in the flower [???]
And not civilians [?]
Those cute boys with the
Perfect [?] waves to catch
Waves to ride
Full-fledged businessmen they were
Dangling [?] long
Hanging [?] awful [?] hours
Hours on the beach
Beach-ah

I said [?] drifting
To the tunnel where
We're bounded
We're bounded...

Watch 'em break
Watch 'em break
Watch 'em break
Watch 'em break!
Watch 'em break!
Watch 'em break!
Watch 'em break!
It's eternity, ah
Hidden one more ti-i-i-me
I wish to God this was
Not happening

For the longest moment
Where will your life be?
And wonders [?]
What those identities crisis really mean

My counsellor used to say
"When you're a teenager you have an identity
Identity, not crises
And then you
Grow up and
It goes away
Goes away
Goes away"

I hear myself I scratch the water
Makes these dry white rings on my skin
Dry white rings on my skin
Dry right wings
Always [?] on me shine
Take color [?] on your skin
Something fashion cannot touch
Cannot touch
Something fashion cannot touch
Cannot touch
Cannot...
I'd lie for you
I'd die for you
In my fashion buff
Of flu--
Huh!
Huh!

I would [?]
Couldn't wait to wash it all
Wash it all
Wash it
Wash it
Wash it
Wash it!
Wash it!
Wash it!
Wash it!
Wash it!
Wash it!
Wash it!
Wash it!
Wash it!

Get back
Get back somewhere
Get back somewhere, young lady
Get back somewhere, young lady
I do believe you stepped out of line
You stepped out of line
You stepped out of line
I say you stepped out of line
Get down on your knees and get back in line
And put on a
Piece of fashion that
I made for you
Because
Men make fashion
Men talk to other men through fashion
I don't understand the language
But I read the magazines
I just--
I just don't know
I just don't know
I just don't know what to wear
But I read the magazine
And I heard these two men talking to each other
They were talking to each other, saying:
"Why, I think that it would be really great if we could all wear something like this"
[Breathes heavily]

Couldn't wait to
Get back somewhere
So I could leave it all [?] weekend [?]
