Pavement – Two States Lyrics 14 years ago
He mentioned in a concert that this was about CA. CA has 36 million people is referring to 40 million daggers. I think it would suggest war between North and South CA in order to create two states. Stephen Malkmus did grow up in Northern CA and then even moved further north to Portland.

Pavement – Shoot the Singer (1 Sick Verse) Lyrics 14 years ago
I think the first section is the easiest to interpret.

Someone took a dump in his pants
The poo covered the paint on the bench he was sitting on
He says the same thing using the word "wood" which he needed for the next rhyme "stood"
He got off the bench and the poo moved to the ground and no one would stand there
He still sitting in poo. Churning refers to milky agitated poo.

Churning: To make by the agitation of milk or cream: churn butter.
