Pavement

Pavement was an American indie rock band that formed in Stockton, California in 1989. The group mainly consisted of Stephen Malkmus (vocals and guitar), Scott Kannberg (guitar and vocals), Mark Ibold (bass), Steve West (drums) and Bob Nastanovich (percussion and vocals). Initially conceived as a recording project, the band at first avoided press or live performances, while attracting considerable underground attention with their early releases. Gradually evolving into a more polished band, Pavement recorded five full length albums and nine EPs over the course of their decade-long career, though they disbanded with some acrimony in 1999 as the members moved on to other projects. In 2010, they undertook a well-received reunion tour. more »

The actress is always breaking things
The things you made and she took you for
And I'm so tired 
I'd be lying 
I hope the prairie buys you more
The fitness coast is growing near
The shores they don't stay blond this year
That's why the marble lawns 
Stay clear and warm in time

I want to stay but my time is wasting
The magic lands call my name
They want to fire a missile launcher
But I know I need to stay

We all know that by staying here 
It'll be a good high this year
So what's the use to staying there 
If you've got no use for time
The fitness coast is growing near
The shores they don't stay blond all year
The continent moves with growing fears
It's all for expensive lawn

I want to stay but my time is wasting
The magic lawns call my name
I want to fire a missile launcher
But I know I need to stay

I know I need to stay
(And fight the day.)
I know I need to stay
(And fight the day.)
I know I need to stay
(And fight the day.)
I know I need to stay
(And fight the day.)
