Pavement Lyrics
Took a train to the city
Thought something might be going down
But we found the dead heart
Of a dead town
In the streets that were usually living
It seemed everyone had given up
Torn it down
Worn it out
But we love it just the same
It’s in our blood it’s in our veins
We cut a hole through the pavement
Just trying to get to the core
We were reaching out
To the underground
We fucked with the fascists and racists
In the hope of hitting our own oil
To tap the ground
Of this tired town
But we love it just the same
It’s in our blood it’s in our veins
I love where I’m living
In this dead town
In the space between lost and found
I love where I’m living
On this backdrop
And I’m never gonna give it up
There you go
You throw it to the wind
You talk about the future
Stacking statements once again
We’re all the same
It’s in our blood it’s in our veins
It’s black & white
We’re the same inside
Thought something might be going down
But we found the dead heart
Of a dead town
In the streets that were usually living
It seemed everyone had given up
Torn it down
Worn it out
It’s in our blood it’s in our veins
Just trying to get to the core
We were reaching out
To the underground
We fucked with the fascists and racists
In the hope of hitting our own oil
To tap the ground
Of this tired town
It’s in our blood it’s in our veins
In this dead town
In the space between lost and found
I love where I’m living
On this backdrop
And I’m never gonna give it up
You throw it to the wind
You talk about the future
Stacking statements once again
It’s in our blood it’s in our veins
We’re the same inside

"Pavement is about moving to the city and finding a place for yourself within the maelstrom of personality types, cultures & belief systems. It’s about tapping into subcultures and falling in love with the diversity of the place. We all became friends by going to shows and watching each others old bands play. Pavement was written as a sort of high five to the Melbourne music scene." -Nick http://www.bluntmag.com.au/interviews/exclusive-stream-track-by-track-the-sinking-teeth-songs-from-the-bottom-of-the-lake/
