Cherry Area Lyrics
Hey
You needed 'A' for effort
But I give you a 'Z' for delivery, my friend
You are too late and I need to escape
to my private apartment
and my gross, gross television set
It's new and it's current it's got
new and its current is hot
special special director's cut
just for you, my friend my friend
Blasted concept and my cherry area
is just a little scary to be around right now
so keep away, my friend
Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa!
Watch that hand, my friend
you're in a sacred environment
you're in a sacred environment, ya know
I need to go, I need to go, I need to
You needed 'A' for effort
But I give you a 'Z' for delivery, my friend
to my private apartment
and my gross, gross television set
new and its current is hot
special special director's cut
just for you, my friend my friend
is just a little scary to be around right now
so keep away, my friend
Watch that hand, my friend
you're in a sacred environment
you're in a sacred environment, ya know

Ha! Masturbation, with a porno. Love Pavement.
I believe this song is about a young woman, and sung from her perspective. A "cherry area" could be interpreted as a vagina. I also think it goes "It's new and it's current, it's got news, and it's current is hot" - a typical malkmus wordplay. Even the way he's singing it sounds very effeminate. It seems like the boyfriend/lover/stranger has come to her apartment too late, she's too drunk or tired and tries to entertain him with her gross tv and directors cut film, but when he tries to put the moves on she denies him, saying her "cherry area is a little scary to be around right now". He tries anyway, but is denied again, and then the perspective finally switches to his at the end, where he repeats "I need to go".
Awesome song.
