so stark you re a skyscraper

Pavement

I ve been waitin here for oh so long
I ve been waitin here for oh so long

This is life
And it s flat
And it s 6
And it s 8...times

This is life
And it s flat
And it s 3
And it s 4

She s a real debutante
She ll never fall
Waves in the taxi of room-service calls

I ve been with viceroys
And I ve been with kings
In your emporium
It s gold inlaid rings

She can t live
Beside the spiral staircase
When the money s coming in...

White jar left of shelf above blue chair
Leave the old rugs down behind the stairs

Stunning bureaucrat
You re so f***ing lost
Stark as a skyscraper
Letters embossed

Stunning bureaucrat
You re so f***ing lost
Signing the letters
And cutting the costs

I can t live
Beside the spiral staircase
When the money s coming in...
