Secret Girl Lyrics
[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
My mother used to say
"You're the boy that can enjoy invisibility"
I'm the boy that can enjoy invisibility
Close your eyes, make a wish
Cross yourself, see yourself
Feel yourself, scream once more
Move yourself, across the floor
Burn inside, between two walls
The advertisement's saying
The pleasure's everlasting
Come and touch me
The advertisement's saying
The pleasure's everlasting
Must be dead and gone to heaven
Come and touch me here
So I know that I'm not there

What do the EVOL CD liner notes say about this song?
I remember listening to this on a walkman by the pool by the pool at our apartment complex. I never went in the pool because a family of 12 were in there peeing all the time. Kim Gordon’s urgent secrets told with little more than breath transported me.
– Lisa Crystal Carver, 1993
