Sometimes, it takes me a good 20 or so listens to really get into a song. Such is the case with this Supersonic track on the Backspacer record. I liked it enough at first, but didn't love it. Now I am down. To help you get down, here are the lyrics as well as a chance to listen to the song twice, via two different videos from the same London show a few weeks back, where the song was played for the first time. Originally, I posted four different videos of this same performance, but decided to replace these with videos of other songs from the new record being performed live. Have fun with it!

Yeah I been dreaming of getting along
Now I’m awake, dreaming keep it on keeping on
I catch a break, then a punch to the head
I smile big with a toothless grin.

Supersonic gone & took my soul
I caught the rhythm but the clock was slow yeh
Supersonic, truth be told
I don’t need you to live, but I’ll never let you go

Yeah I been thinking, I already know
Nothing bout nothing, or so I have been told
I’m not the paper, I’m more like the fold
Cut the crease & put the shit in the whole

Supersonic, gone & took my soul
I caught the rhythm but the clock was slow yeh
Supersonic, truth be told
I don’t need you to live, but I’ll never let you go

Supersonic, gotta feel it now
I need to hear it, need to feel it loud yeh
Supersonic, truth be told
I wanna live my life with the volume full
