In The Mouth A Desert - Lyrics by Pavement


Lyrics
can you treat it like an oil wellwhen it's underground out of sightand if the sight is just a whore signcan it make enough sense to mepretend the table is a trust knotwe'll put our labels down, faith is downand watch the yards of twine unraveland you'll never get it backit's what I want (it's what I want)it's what I want (one gets down)it's what I want (it's what I want)don't you know
I could make it dry, make it dry, make it drymake it dry
I've been crowned, the king of itand it is all we have so waitto hear my words and they're diamond sharp
I could open it up if it's up and downit's what I want (it's what I want)I see a bagluck, a little bar (all on time)don't you know that it's what I want(that's what I want)I see your bag and it makes me trymake me try, make me try, make me try
I've been down, the king of itand it is all we have, I've been downif I could wait to hear those wordsthey're diamond sharp today
