Starlings of the Slipstream Lyrics

I have very little idea of what this song is about, but I love the way the two chorus's rhyme. A starlings are birds that fly in huge flocks. A slipstream is the path behind a plane that makes anything that follows it go faster, or something like that. Maybe Pavement got caught in the wave of 90's alternative music and just got swept along with all the more popular bands?

Anyway, the second verse is from Revenge of the Nerds. Ha!
