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 »

I've been waitin' here for oh so long
I've been waitin' here for oh so long

This is life
And it's flat 
And it's six
And it's eight, times

This is life
And it's flat
And it's three
And it's four

She's a real debutante
She'll never fall
Waves in the taxi of room-service calls

I've been with viceroys 
And I've been with kings
In your emporium
It's gold inlaid rings

She can't live 
Beside the spiral staircase
When the money's coming in

White jar left of shelf above blue chair
Leave the old rugs down behind the stairs

Stunning bureaucrat
You're so fucking lost
Stark as a skyscraper
Letters embossed

Stunning bureaucrat
You're so fucking lost
Signing the letters
And cutting the costs

I can't live
Beside the spiral staircase
When the money's coming in

Da, da, da
Ba, da, da
La, da, da
La, da, da
