Spit on a stranger

 

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,

and now I see the long, the short, the middle and what's in between,

I could spit on a stranger,

(pull me out)

you're a bitter stranger.

(pull 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

Pavement

Secret Knowledge of Backroads

So you wanted it

price the sword

the ancient craft

I'm so bored with your ancient craft

your ancient laughs

and everyone is laughing at you

Sees it all there

Sees it behind him,

 It's behind his southern mind

and it's so new

Beside himself on the shelf

off the blue

and into the grey

Sees it all there

Sees it behind him,

It's behind his southern mind

and it's so new

Kick the sand

Kick the can

Kick it in the face of another man

so you kick it up, it's out of town

I've never felt like I do now

But I know what I want

I know it's behind me

behind my western mind

and it's so new

It's so new.
