“Cotton Crown” is the ninth track on Sonic Youth fourth studio album, Sister, and was also released as an “official bootleg” 7'‘ record, b/w “PCH”.
It was the the first song in which Kim and Thurston sing together—although in most live versions, Thurston used to sing it alone.
The song is sometimes...
Love has come to stay, in all the way
It's gonna stay forever and every day
It feels like a wish coming true
It feels like an angel dreaming of you
Feels like heaven, forgiving and getting
Feels like we're fading and celebrating
You got a carnal spirit spraying
I'm gonna laugh it up
You got a cotton crown, gonna keep it underground
You're gonna take control of the chemistry
And you're gonna manifest the mystery
You got a magic wheel in your memory
I'm wasted in time and I'm looking everywhere
I don't care where
I don't care where
Angels are dreaming of you
Angels are dreaming of you
Angels are dreaming of you
Angels are dreaming of you
New York City is forever, kitty
I'm wasted in time and you're never ready
Fading, fading, celebrating
I got your cotton crown
I got your cotton crown
I got your cotton crown
I got your cotton crown
I got your cotton crown
I got it
