Page "Teen Age Riot" Paragraph 4

The album version of the song has two distinct parts.

The intro section features a repeating, hypnotic guitar melody, and Kim Gordon reciting stream-of-consciousness prose, such as " You're it, no you're it / Say it, don't spray it / Miss me, don't dismiss me / Spirit desire / We will fall.

" (" We Will Fall " is a reference to The Stooges ' song of the same name ).

After the last verse, all instruments stop, and Thurston Moore breaks through the fading instruments with a fast, distorted, noisy guitar riff, opening the main section of the song.

The riff leads to the dynamic guitar melody that plays throughout the rest of the song with the vocal melody, sung by Moore.

The riff that opens the section is repeated once again afterwards in the song, with all of the instruments accompanying it in an interlude that leads to the song's last few lines.
