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.

Take me down from the ridge where the summer ends
Watch the city spread out just like a jets flame
Ive got a secret for you, I cut your angel in two
I left her bleeding and soaked it with a dry sponge
No life has singed her now [3x]
(I can see it fade)
Weve got a license to live, its our only one
If it expires we float up to the dust haze
Ive got a picture of you, I cut your angel in two
I saw her spinning and dripping on your new dress
No life has singed her now [3x]
(I can see it fade)
