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.

Transport Is Arranged Lyrics

Pavement

You better find your way out, you better learn how to run
You better walk away, and leave the angles for the shills
Well Ive been thinking for days about the means and the ways that I could
Hate all I touch
I know youre my lady but I could trickle, I could flood
A voice coach taught me to sing, he couldnt teach me to love
All the above
Easy talkin border blockin transport is arranged
Praise the grammar police, set me up with your niece
Walk to baltimore, and keep the language off the street
Well Im of several minds, I am the worst of my kind
I wanna cremate the crutch
I know youre my lady but phone calls could corrupt the morning
I heed the surgeons warning -- pillars of eights
I swung my fiery sword, I vent my spleen at the lord
He is abstract and bored -- too much milk and honey
Well Ill waltz through the wilderness with nothing
But a compass and a canteen
Settin the scenes
Easy walkin border blockin transport is arranged
