With their fractured songs, unexpected blasts of feedback, laconic vocals, cryptic literate lyrics, and defiant low-fidelity, Pavement were one of the most influential and distinctive bands to emerge from the American underground in the '90s. Pavement, along with Sebadoh, were the leaders of the lo-fi movement that dominated U.S. indie rock in the early '90s. Initially conceived as a studio project between guitarists/vocalists Stephen Malkmusand Scott Kannberg in the '80s, Pavement gradually became a band during the early '90s. Along the way, their initial EPs and debut album, 1992's Slanted & Enchanted, earned a devoted following of musicians, indie fans, and critics.

Pavement

Maybe somones gonna save me
My heart is made of gravy
And the laps I swim from lunatics dont count
Open up your stocking
Pull out all the things you never wanted
til room service calls
Room service calls
Open up your hands and let me see the things you keep in there
I want to split up fifty-fifty
Thats the way we do it in this rogues town
Ive got all the glory in the world
And I hope it doesnt floor you before you go
Room service calls
In the random falls -- go!
Whenever (x6) eve eve ever I feel fine
Im gonna walk away
From all this, all that.
The groovy groovy kitty and little little pity
With your slipshed (? ) watch in back
And skinny skinny people dont like that
When you call on them
Spell me.
Spritzer on ice in new york city
Isnt it a pity?
You never had anything to mix with that
Listen to the tender behind the open chest in the hall
Room service calls
Im blue n green, green and blue-oooo
Whenever (x4) ne ne ne ne never ho
I feel fi-i-ine, Ill walk the plank for you
Ill walk the plank
I wore your ? plank? for you in the d-d-d-d-dark
Of the captain (seder row? )
Jacob, jacob javitz, Id like to thank you for everything
Primarily your glass house
Im workin the ballin stores n
Im cashmir wrap sellin
Come along lads, join hands, 1. 2. 3. go! (guess, levis, guess, levis)
Whaaaahahaahahooohoaoohoo
The story it goes and a
Distorted ghost
Distorted ghost
