Pavement - stillnate

Quietly, quietly it grows Ripping at the seems How did we How did we get lost In these old city streets You'd still be You'd still be in love Now our eyes never meet Ou, I can feel the light fading You still have some fire worth saving Oh, spill the blood on the pavement Oh lord you can tell I'm wasted Oh lord you can tell I'm wasted Do you need Do you need a change From these old eerie ways Counting down Counting down the days But we're both too afraid Letting go and leaning out of frame Two souls out of space Ou, I can feel the light fading You still have some fire worth saving Oh, spill the blood on the pavement Oh lord you can tell I'm wasted Oh lord you can tell I'm wasted Ou, I can feel the light fading You still have some fire worth saving Oh, spill the blood on the pavement Oh lord you can tell I'm wasted

Well, you mesmerize me Stop criticizing me You know, I'm solo that way And I'm heading for the Cape I'm on a raft, can't turn back Stimulate the open chords I'm on a raft, can't turn back (Louder!) You're an ocean of honey Painfully funny, yeah And the tears that you grow are coming up early I'm on a raft, can't turn back And you stimulate the open chords Rats, in the bath, of the shaft (Louse) You're a Nestea splash Sunkist two-thousand class All the towelers of thongs And a heavy, line, oh Down the golden groves All around this funky place Damn, damn, damn all the 49ers

Doctor's leaving for the holiday season Got crystal ice picks, no gift for the gab And in the parking lot is the Sedan he bought He never, he never complains when it's hot He sold a swollen daughter In a sauna playing contract bridge They're soaking up the fun or doing blotters, I don't know which Which, which boys are dying on these streets I know the medical world could knock you out To sell the coins that you jayed last Thursday Dine by candle light and hold your savings tight You never, you never know when the bridge falls apart We spoke of latent causes, sterile gauzes and the bedside morale We traipse around the table talking sentences so incomplete Please, plea, boys are dying on these streets

Darlin' don't you go and cut your hair Do you think it's gonna make him change? "I'm just a boy with a new haircut" And that's a pretty nice haircut Charge it like a puzzle Hit men wearing muzzles Hesitate you die Look around, around The second drummer drowned His telephone is found Music scene is crazy Bands start up each and every day I saw another one just the other day A special new band I remember lying I don't remember a line I don't remember a word But I don't care, I care, I really don't care Did you see the drummer's hair? Advertising looks and chops a must No Big Hair! Songs mean a lot when songs are bought And so are you Face right down to the practice room Tension and fame's our career Career, career, career, career, career
