Sleater-Kinney

Sleater-Kinney ( /ˈsleɪtərˈkɪniː/ SLAY-tər-KIN-ee) was a riot grrrl band that formed in 1994 in Olympia, Washington. The group's name is derived from Sleater Kinney Road, Interstate 5 off ramp No. 108 in Lacey, Washington, the location of one of their early practice spaces. They were a noted part of the "riot grrrl" and indie rock scenes in the Pacific Northwest. The band was known for its feminist and left-leaning politics. more »

Let's meet in the city where
The rivers cross, bridges there
Let's go float down into the stream
Of rich and poor pioneers
A kid from a western town
Wants to be seen, and go out
Let's borrow my parents car
Let's stay out all night up there
And Burnside will be our street
Where the kids and the hookers meet
Diners and strip club junk
Bookstores and punk rock clubs

I'm as green as this blade
In the grass that bends
In the wind that blows
On the long weekends
Where I cross the bridge
To the water fountains
And drink in the hope
That the city brings
(Water, building and sin
Big Oregon city draws you in
A promise fulfilled or not
Just hang on until the summer, it's hot)

We'll make our home water-tight
Work all day, play all night
And hope we're not washed away
By deceit or tragedy
And Joan of Arc rules northeast
Where the poor and the hipsters meet
The grid that divides us all
The river makes final call
Out at the edge of town
Where airfield runs water down
Coyote crosses old tracks
And hops on the Light-Rail Max

And if you wanna be a friend of mine
Cross the river to the east side
Find me on the eve of suicide
Tell me the city is no place to hide
Take me out into a sunny day
Through the grotto or the promenade
You came to me in the nick of time
Thankful for the things I left behind

Oh dirty river, come let me in
