THE PAVEMENT Songtext
von prchr.

I′m so upset and so obsessed
And I'm taking all my time off just to vent
I′m getting tired of being wished all the best
And at the time that I was possessed by the drink I had possessed
I got dragged to the ground and thrown overboard
Now I think that's just theft

And the astronauts aren't taking care of me and my own mess of a head
I think I′ll be staying here instead
I think I′ll be staying here instead
I was the guest now I'm oppressed
I′m not impressed
Who would've guessed that this would ever happen to me?

You should see me before I lie on the pavement
Now you know the street′s so cold. Honey how'd I get so low?
You should see me before I lie on the pavement
Now you know the street′s so cold. Honey how'd I get so low?


And now I can't feel my toes and I think they′ve broken my nose
I′m turny topsy to the point I've drink my spilt (Yeah)
And I know that I′m all out of time
And out of luck since I can't see the sky
Or my friends or my ride out of here or this life that I′ve built

"Where the fuck's the sky gone?"

You should see me before I lie on the pavement
Now you know the street′s so cold. Honey how'd I get so low?
You should see me before I lie on the pavement
Now you know the street's so cold. Honey how′d I get so low?

You tell me I′m the bad boy but I don't think I understand
Cause I just wanna save the world but they won′t even let me back in
They say "first in, best dressed won't get served last"
But they′ll make an exception for me and an example of my pain

You should see me before I lie down
Now I know the streets so cold. Honey how'd I get so low?
You should see me before I lie on the pavement
Now you know the street′s so cold. Honey how'd I get so low?

"Now arriving at Fortitude Valley station
If this is your station, prepare to disembark
Customers are reminded: the exit buttons
Are located in the middle of the doors"
