The first pavement song i ever listen. Someone lost in the early 90ies a MC in my car. I never found out who lost it but afterwards i and all my mates became Pavement-addicted. Mysterious as this songs. ;)
For me it is about male and female masturbation and about the relationship towards people who (partial) have sexuals dreams of (each) the other.
The first lines definitely describe the female mastubation:
eating her fingers like there is no other meal (can't stopp using fingers)
she waits there (have some experience)
levee washes (Levee was a redlight destrict in Chicago next to a river)
mixing cocktails (cock!, cocktail as emotional and vaginal fluid)
plastic-tipped cigar (a vibrator or dildo)
The second part describes the relation ship and view of the story teller:
shiny roses on protein delta strip (pubic hair, first time exitement)
abandoned house (there is no finger or cigar in this house, so there is no more female masturbation)
i'll be waiting forever...(maybe he is unexperienced, unable to cheat his friend, Ice Baby, or its just his dream)
The third strophe adresses to his masturbation:
Minerals, ice deposits daily, dropped off (it is sperm, ice is the color, dropped off with laugh)
the first shiny robe (means his male pubic hair)
i've got a lot of things i want to sell, but (he is ready)
not here, babe-- tortuuurreeee...(but just in this dream, and therefore torture)
