"Cherry Chapstick" (Yo La Tengo)

(fotografia de Patrick Alt, "Female Nude in Swimming Pool - Untitled #18", 1984)

"Someone else's date
In someone else's door
There's a girl with cherry Chapstick on and nothing more.
It's such a lurid pose
and she seems this close
But not to me

Clear as day
Crawling home at night
Wondering why the girls don't look at me when I walk by.
And the way they make me feel is way too real to believe

Wondering what it could be like if I could be that smooth
I could think about all that I missed out
It's hard to do

Someone else's date
In someone else's door
There's a girl with cherry Chapstick on and nothing more
It's such a lurid pose
and she seems this close
But not to me

Running around in circles all day long" (1)

Uma excelente música de uma das mais interessantes propostas musicais dos Estados Unidos.
