Pavement - Slanted & Enchanted Lyrics

Pavement - No Life Singed Her Lyrics

Take me down from the ridge
Where the summer ends
We'll watch the city spread out
Just like a jet's flame

Pavement - In The Mouth of a Desert Lyrics

Can you treat it like an oil well
When it's underground, out of sight?
And if the sight is just a whore sign
Can it make enough sense to me?

The diamond watch, the last reward
All the things we had before
You sold us out and took it all

I can't sing it strong enough
It's that kind of strength I just don't have
If you watch the lights change
Don't hold them hanging

Pavement - Perfume-v Lyrics

Fun for an hour when the hour's gone
Can one trick night for forty days?
And in my bed at the break of dawn
She shivered like a vein slashed bright and new

How can I? How can I?
How can I make my body shed for you

Pavement - Conduitforsale Lyrics

Conduit for Sale! (Pavement)I'm tryin', I'm tryin'....Imagine if you will Herr Proctor, alias a nobleman, son of son of scionscion. Part of his rich inheritance, parcel in generous [divorced sense]forklift beam. Certain plots of land and living quarters deemed by allgentlemen, and wives thereof, to be grossly humane and frankly, quite[undirty]I'm tryin', I'm tryin'....Herr Proctor, in his enviable good taste, tries quick escape gambit via localperiodicals, but no takers. The land [unending] was stationed in a conduitbetween two cells, a veritable no-man's-land, [rain, the flophouse, cog-bone terrors] and carbon monoxide wallpaper. All [his brig-deck trina]boys ask: is it livable?I'm tryin', I'm tryin'....
Background:[No one's gonna save me/ No one's gonna make me arrange][2x]
Unable to bear the scandal, Ray, philanthropist, rents low-down scabhouse in conduit, Herr Proctor offers said land for a song, but no onewants to sing. In an attempt to maintain social privileges, yet mask it asgoodwill, he says to the conduit members, 'Take this rotten old tree andmake it bear fruit." Cheers erupted throughout the [???] settlement. AnItalian male was heard to say, "between here and there is better thananything over there!"I'm tryin', I'm tryin'....
