Pavement - Terror Twilight (1999) by Pavement (보컬) on maniadb.com

However you feel, whatever it takes
Whenever it's real, whatever awaits
Whatever you need, however so slight
Whenever it's real, whenever it's right

I've been thinking long and hard about the things you said to me
Like a bitter stranger
Now I see the long, the short, the middle, and what's in between

I could spit on a stranger
Pour me out
You're a bitter stranger
Pour me out

Whatever you feel, whatever it takes
Whenever it's real, whatever awaits me
Whatever you need, however so slight
Wherever it leads, whenever it's right

Honey, I'm a prize and you're a catch, and we're a perfect match
Like two bitter strangers
Now I see the long and short of it, and I can make it last

I could spit on a stranger
Pour me out
You're a bitter stranger
Pour me out

Well, I could spit on a stranger
Pour me out
You're a bitter stranger
Pour me out

I see the sunshine in your eyes
I'll try the things you'll never try
I'll be the one that leaves you high
High, high

If you enjoy the company
Of a descending family tree
Well, tuck in your thoughts, it's there or it's not
The feeling is mutual

Well, pardon my birth, I just slipped out
Origins I can't brag about
A spawn of a bank inquisitor
And thieves, I wish

Watch out, the snitch also involves himself in blackmail
One would think the interests conflict

The air is so taut, I feel so thin
Hot as the come to closing in
Hot as the gun I'm closing in
And reap the benefits

Beware, the head of state says that she believes in leprechauns
Irish folk tales scare the shit out of me

Be as it may, I'm happy to say I'm around
Miles accrued and passengers add up
The message on the mirror says "stick with me"
'Cause no one's there to read your reflection when I'm gone

Get it on

Tangled in the midst of all the trust
The way you pissed inside the brain file
Technology drives
Show me your dots now

Who was it that said the world
Was mainly all divorces and spare change?
Let's lethalize our slingshots
And swallow propane

You are a light
The calm in the day
You are a light
The calm in the day

Senior year abroad
I ripped the pea out of the pod
In store for three months of exile in Spain
Where was the danger?

Watch out for the gypsy children in the electric dresses
They're insane
I hear they live in crematoriums
And smoke your remains

You are a light
The calm in the day
You are a light
The calm in the day

My drive stick, gotta love it, automatic
Oh, everybody's gotta ride in something
High life, lived, comatoased him, bring it on in
Oh, I hope it arrives by Monday

Dry ice, skid, button your slips and porridge and nippers
I have to die on Sunday
Irate kid, laundromat spinners, and let's act like winners
And oh, gotta roam 'cause I am the isolator

Gotta roam 'cause I am the isolator

So much for destiny, a pinprick on my knee
The frost you paint across our dead affair
I sensed the toxic aura from the second we touched
You were stitched-up venom and I was the cursed from the Vedic

Time is a one-way track and I am not coming back
I dream in beige, why'd you lead me so far now?
Time tired, you're tainted through, wind songs and substitutes
I dream in beige, why'd you lead me so far now?

The afterlife is steep, we wander and retreat
And everyone is after us
Skirt the gaunt street hawkers with the black lemonade
Keep an arrow trained on their conflicted minds 'cause they stutter

Time is a one-way track and I am not coming back
I dream in beige, why'd you lead me so far now?
Time tired, you're tainted fruit, wind, songs and substitutes
I dream in beige, why'd you lead me so far now?

I bleed in beige, why'd you lead me so far now?
I bleed in beige, why'd you lead me so far now?
I bleed in beige, why'd you lead me so far now?
I bleed in beige, why'd you lead me so far now?

Lip balm on watery clay
Relationships, hey hey hey
You kiss like a rock, but you know I need it anyway
Angle for the ringside seats, when they fall don't blame me

Bring on the major leagues
Bring on the major leagues
Bring on the major leagues
Bring on the major leagues

How you gonna tech him to walk
When he can't even finish the, he can't even finish the songs
Of the law, are they civilized or Satanist?
Cater to my walls and see if they fall, don't leave me

Bring on the major leagues
Bring on the major leagues
Bring on the major leagues
Bring on the major leagues

They wear you down sometimes, kids like wine
Magic Christians chew the rind
'Cause bad girls are always bad girls
Let's let 'em in

Darling, we're up against it
And there is no time for
Tie-ins, tie-ins, tie-ins, go

Bring on the major leagues
Bring on the major leagues
Bring on the major leagues
Bring on the major leagues

They wear you down sometimes, kids like wine
Magic Christians chew the rind
'Cause bad girls are always bad girls
Let 'em in

Cardiac kid, kinda like it
Kinda like it
Cardiac kid don't go
Chronological on all your friends

First you'll cause accidents
Raise the roof, make us tense
Follow through to the ends
And we'll rip the heart out from the defense

The lion reaps his own reward
Serengeti nightmare for the eco-tour
You're a nice guy, and I hate you for that
Thanks to people like you I'm no longer half bad

Mandrake versus the snake
I got it on the camera for posterity
But my stolen wild orchids got cut
See those sherpas chirping from the autobus

It's got the right to sit on that face
Well, it was put here for me because I am great
I've got the right to sit on that face
Everybody look at me and my wonderful place

Patty, Patty, Patty, you're so catty
And it's not fair because I like to doody doddy do
Catty, catty, catty you're so patty
And it's unfair 'cause I like to doody doddy do with you

And it's unfair 'cause I like to
Doody doddy doody da with you
Di da di doody da with you

Billie and my friend the saint
You're perfect in so many ways
But you never looked hard at a fetus in a jar
You never saw your mama change

And this wonderland of spite
Does not shine into your night
Like widows are seen as stigmatized beings
Who ought to have second chance
And hurricanes spin like debutantes in a trance

Sue the fortune-teller
Rue the rising tide
General Washington
Patented that skull, throw him out

Ship that hollandaise
Feel the heart fell of touche
See the longer you tease, the stronger the needs
The highs and the fruit are long

Up to the one a kid
Call the bluff when the money's in
You're a hungry matron and you are just what I need
I was tired of the best years of my life

Sue the fortune-teller
Rue the rising tide
General Washington
Patented that skull, throw him out

Speak, see, remember
The crimes it took to get you through
Deadbeat December
There's blood in the butter, the kitchens are closed

For the holidays
You know that I've got to say
There's been a lot of talk since you're onto me
On, Daddy, on

To find in the fishes, the creatures, the air
Been hanging around
God loves you, but what could he do?
Yeah, what could he do?

Passion and a loving suggestion
Gonna send you into somebody's icy arms and now
Graphics will do the deal justice
It's a can't lose, only two times or three or four or more

To find in the love, in the creatures, the air
You're hanging around
God loves you, but what could he do?
Quit hanging around

God loves you, but what could he do?
What could he do?
Yeah, what could he do?

The terror twilight
It all to get down for it
The terror twilight
It all to get down for it

The terror twilight
It all to get down for it
The terror twilight
It all to get down

To love, in the fine, in the creatures, the air
You're hanging around
God loves you, but what could he do?
My friend, you're hanging around

God loves you, but what could he do?
What could he do?
What could he do?
What could he do?

Buy now, develop the coast and raise the
Sight lines, the oceans are moving out and
Someday, develop the coast and sell the air
You know if we could, we'd sell the air

Stand back, expansion is what we do the best
I don't see the grass and the fields
I see an epicenter with agendas and you're aware they must be met
I hope you're aware they must be met

Capistrano swallow
Answer to your inner voice and please return
God installed that radar
In your pointy little beak so you'd return

Epileptic surgeons with their eyes x'ed out
Attend to the torn-up kid
Salivate and reckon
With all the sick things that you did

The secondary stumbles
'Cause the cadence of the count has led them astray
Pray their intuition
Leads them crashing into bodies in a perfect way

But I, I saw you
Reeling in a parking lot
I, I saw you
Rally 'round a parking lot

Line up for the comfort and kick it on the bumper
No, there is no leeway
You're standing on the freeway in love
Motion, you were destined for the pauper's grave

Architecture students
Are like virgins with an itch they cannot scratch
Never build a building 'til you're fifty
What kind of life is that?

Stalled out on an escalator
Wishing which way to return, up or down
My Palestinian nephew
Got his face blown off in a dusty craft
