Pavement - Veridian

Lie down in the road

We admire these street lights

That wash out the stars

Free taxi to heaven

From the grace of a stranger

In their passing car

Touch my pulse

And feel the violence

Where the calm once was and

Stretch out my eyes

For the first time

You always say you’ve had enough

That I always drink too much

But I have no will

And there’s no way

I’m ever gonna change

With nowhere to go

We parade down the street

Shut all windows and doors

So we feel at home

When we lock

When we shut

Out the silent peaceful

I don’t feel cold

But my hairs stand on end

To keep me warm and

Open my mind for the first time

You always say you’ve had enough

That I always drink too much

I’m on my own

I’ve lost my way

I need you to come make everything okay

I have no will

And there’s no way

I’m ever gonna change

Touch my pulse

And feel the violence

Where the calm once was and

Stretch out my eyes

For the first time
