Folk Jam

Pavement · Terror Twilight [1999]

If you enjoy the company

Of a descending family tree

Well, tuck in your thoughts, it's there or it's not

The feeling is mutual



Well, pardon my birth, I just slipped out

Origins I can't brag about

A spawn of a bank inquisitor

And thieves, I wish



Watch out, the snitch also involves himself in blackmail

One would think the interests conflict



The air is so taut, I feel so thin

Hot as the come to closing in

Hot as the gun I'm closing in

And reap the benefits



Beware, the head of state says that she believes in leprechauns

Irish folk tales scare the shit out of me



Be as it may, I'm happy to say I'm around

Miles accrued and passengers add up

The message on the mirror says "stick with me"

'Cause no one's there to read your reflection when I'm gone

Get it on
