Type Slowly

Pavement · Brighten the Corners [1997]

Sherri, you smell different

Get up early in the bed -- for you morning comes so easy

Spells have been cast and the urge has been lost

Snipers posted bills -- as they should -- of our midnight vacation

Back on the planet now -- I'm beginning to see just how

Echelon your dreams and they'll come true

Type slowly



One of us is a cigar stand --

And one of us is a lovely blue incandescent guillotine

The edge of creation is blurred and blushed

Not a lot of room to grow inside this leather terrarium

People of the bay -- it is excruciatingly gray

Face the front when he comes for you

Type slowly



Cherish your memorized weakness

Fashioned from a manifesto -- lady, I am no futurist

I'm my only critic, I



Trolls in the glen are consorting again

The liberals say they don't exist but I know that they do

Reinforce your literal ass -- hit it on the first or second pass

Frozen images, respected few
