Patti Smith
Citizen Ship

I was nothing. It didn't matter to me.
Ah, there were tags all over my sleeve.
There was water outside the windows
and children in the streets with rats with tags.

Ain't got a passport.
Ain't got my real name.
Ain't got a chance, sport, at fortune and fame.
And I walk these endless streets, won't you give me a lift.
A lift. A lift. On your citizen ship.

They were rioting in Chicago, movement in L.A.
Sixty-eight it broke up the yardbirds.
We were broke as well.
Took it underground, M.C. borderline, up against the wall.
The wall. The wall.
Show your papers, boy.

Citizen ship we got mem'ries.
Stateless, they got shame.
Cast adrift from the citizen ship,
lifeline denied, exiled this castaway.

Blind alley in New York City, in a foreign embrace.
If you're hungry you're not too particular about what you'll taste.
Men in uniform gave me vinegar, spoon of misery.
But what the hell, I fell, I fell.
It doesn't matter to me.

Citizen ship we got mem'ries
Citizen ship, we got pain.
Cast adrift from the citizen ship,
lifeline denied, exiled this castaway.

I was caught like a moth with its wings outta sync.
Cut the chord. Overboard. Just a refugee.
Lady liberty, lend a hand to me, I've been cast adrift.
Adrift. Adrift. Adrift. Adrift. Adrift. Adrift.

On the citizen ship we got mem'ries
Citizen ship, we got pain.
Lose your grip on the citizen ship,
you're cast, you're cast away.
On the citizen ship you got mem'ry.
Citizen ship you got pain.
Citizen ship you got identity.
A name. A name. A name. . .

What's your name, son?
What's your name? . . .
What's your name?

Nothing. I got nothing.
Jersey.
Give me your tired, your poor
Give me your huddled masses
your wartorn
Give me your wartorn and your
Lift up your unto me.
Ah, mythology.



Mirror lyrics:


Ah, mythology.
Lift up your unto me.
Give me your wartorn and your
your wartorn
Give me your huddled masses
Give me your tired, your poor
Jersey.
Nothing. I got nothing.

What's your name?
What's your name? . . .
What's your name, son?

A name. A name. A name. . .
Citizen ship you got identity.
Citizen ship you got pain.
On the citizen ship you got mem'ry.
you're cast, you're cast away.
Lose your grip on the citizen ship,
Citizen ship, we got pain.
On the citizen ship we got mem'ries

Adrift. Adrift. Adrift. Adrift. Adrift. Adrift.
Lady liberty, lend a hand to me, I've been cast adrift.
Cut the chord. Overboard. Just a refugee.
I was caught like a moth with its wings outta sync.

lifeline denied, exiled this castaway.
Cast adrift from the citizen ship,
Citizen ship, we got pain.
Citizen ship we got mem'ries

It doesn't matter to me.
But what the hell, I fell, I fell.

If you're hungry you're not too particular about what you'll taste.

last weekend

nube pasajera

give up the toad

ya no puedo estar sin ti

lentement (duet with yasmine lavoine)

amazing grace

barbed wire and roses

autumn child

hã´tel normandy

no te despiertes mi amor

so far so good

you won't change me

this i don't need

the mercenary (live)

i won't be lost

last hour

one step closer

self inflicted

so glad

maybe one day
