Pavement Lyrics

"In The Mouth Of A Desert" lyrics


Can you treat it like an oil wellWhen it's underground, out of sight? And if the sight is just a whore signCan it make enough sense to me?
Pretend the table is a trust knotWe'll put our labels down, faith is downI'll watch some yards of twine unravelAnd you'll never get it back
It's what I want (it's what I want)It's what I want (twine comes down)It's what I want (it's what I want)Don't you know, I could make you tryMake you try [3x]

I've been crowned the king of it, and it is all we haveSo wait to hear my words and they're diamond sharpI can open it up and it's up and down
It's what I want (it's what I want)I see your bag like a little dog [? ](ball of twine)Don't you know that it's what I want (it's what I want)I'll see your bag and it makes you tryMakes you try [3x]
I've been down, the king of it, is all we haveI've been down and I could wait to hear the wordsThey're diamond sharp today
