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.

Trigger Cut Lyrics

Pavement

Lies and betrayals
Fruit-covered nails
Electricity and lust wont break the door
Ive got a heavy coat- its filled with rocks and sand
And if I lose it Ill be comin back today
(Ive got a message for you)
Ill be comin back today
(I keep it in my hand)
You know Im comin back one day
(Ive got a sister or two)
And Ill be comin back today
Ex-magician, still knows the tricks
Tricks are everything to me
Until its free- Ive got a trigger cut
And I cant pull it back
But if I learn how Ill be coming back today
(Ive got a message for you)
Ill be coming back today
(I keep it in my hand)
You just look at me and say
(Ive got a sister or two)
You know I wish you went away
I learned the truth
The truth of the words
Truth I made for you
Because its just as good
And if I spit it out
Before I chew the ring
Ill rearrange it
til it looks just right today
(Ive got a message for you)
And Ill be comin back back my way
(I keep it in my hand)
You will look at me and say
(Ive got a sister or two)
You just wish I went away
