Stradlater (Jane vs. The Shark) Lyrics by William Sunshine

A Demonstrative Manifesto

2011

[Verse 1]
Make it a wish, speaking of which, is it yes or no?
It’s a sin for your skin, are you good to go?
Nobody cares, strokin’ your hair, will it ever show the truth?

Your knees will close with pleas of both
That’s yes and no and time apropos
Indiscretion, back's in sessions
Break the ice with pure aggression!

[Chorus]
You are mine!
And I can touch you where I please, and I can bring you to your knees
Where are your signs? Lips say yes, but I say no
Don’t forget the name you moan - it’s Stradlater

[Verse 2]
Like it or not, callin’ the shots here’s the dominoes
Sit in the rain with your face in the x in a row
How did you find that the time doesn't give for two
Not you

Every time we’re eye to eye
Your heavy science cyanide
And let my witches be good diers/dyers
Maybe falling’s really flying!

[Chorus]
You are mine!
And I can touch you where I please, and I can bring you to your knees
Where are your signs? A-lips say yes, but I say no
Don’t forget the name you moan - it’s Stradlater

Chk-a-chk-a ah ah...

[Bridge]
Life’s a joy in the busy street
So no, be coy, let’s turn to meet/meat
And all our lies are made of things
Let's fall in row, and move your kings
The future must know where you’ve been
So spread ‘em wide, I’m coming in
And now I know all over you
And you will do, yes you will do!

Oh oh, woah, woah!

[Chorus]
You are mine!
And I can touch you where I please, and I can bring you to your knees
Where are your signs? Lips say yes, but I say no
Don’t forget the name you moan - it’s Stradlater
You are mine!
I can touch you where I please, and I can bring you to your knees
Where are your signs, Jane? Lips say yes, but I say no
I say yes but lips say no, you know, you’re fuckin' with Stradlater!
