WORDS FROM KRISTIN:
"This was originally written for Sunny Border Blue but didn't take very well to that record's production. I like the imagery here...("thunder in the blue sunshine" is something that Wyatt said once) -- and I think the verse about people hating us is funny."

"Solar Dip"
(written by Kristin Hersh)

Everybody's soaking wet
Ready for the solar dip
It was so easy to fly
It was so easy to fly
Thunder in the blue sunshine
When did this city die?
I'm sick of turning you off
I'm sick of turning you off
After an afternoon of insatiable begging
Every frenzy is real
Skin is singing, hands are burning
Everybody is healed
I am good enough for someone,
Good enough for you
Flown way out in space...
Who's on your tapes?
Who's on your wall?
Who's in your way?
Who keeps you soft?
Who makes you late?
Who do you call
When you're ok
And when you're not?
I'm so mad I could spit
I'm so mad I could spit
I don't invite chaos
It's just that they hate us
I'm sick of pissing them off
I'm sick of pissing them off
After an afternoon of mysterious fighting
Every frenzy is real
Skin is singing, hands are burning
Everybody is healed
I am good enough for someone,
Good enough for you
Flown way out in space...
Who's in your face?
Who's in your heart?
Who do you pay?
What have you got?
Who complicates
Your easy plot?
Who hesitates
And then you're lost?

Don't worry, dance in the road.
