Lyrics   status: confirmed

Burning inside
I cross myself, it doesn't help because
I'm not smart enough
I'm diggin' into hot white
Learning not to lie
We cross it out and stay away

NOTES:

• Quite an important track in Sonic Youth history. It was performed at one of their first shows ever, on June 18th, 1981. As you can see by the line-up, Lee was not yet in the band. This track was released (untitled) on the Noise Fest compilation in 1982. It's completely unique and I'm not sure whether it was an improvisation or something pre-arranged... however, this piece was the 3rd song performed at the Noisefest show. Other songs performed are reminiscent of SY's first EP.
