Back to the Pavement Lyrics

I'm going back to the pavement back to the pavement

Back to the pavement where I belong

Back to the pavement back to pavement

A paradox where every right equals wrong

Back to the pavement

Where bloody fables are sucked like cough drops

Listening to rave go back go back go back go back go back

I'm going back to the pavement

Back to the gutter trip

On your laces you run as you stutter

Back to the pavement back to the pavement

Where all the kids are made to hate one another

Back to the pavement where from the gable

You tripped and fell wrapping your head around the cables

Go back go back go back go back go back

Back to the pavement

Back to the alley

Back to the scum

And the slang speaking rally

Back to the buckets

Back to the cream

Back to the boy child inhaling his dreams

Back to the pavement

A brief engagement

Thanks for the memories still I can taste them

Go back go back go back go back go back

There was a time all I wanted to be was an angry young man with an outlet

Looking back now it was necessary with the old spice and squidgy brown hash

On further reflection there was freedom for me

In the old spice and squidgy brown hash

On further reflection it was necessary all the old spice and squidgy brown hash

Golden youth is upon me

Though I know it merely a loan

I drink coffee and write like a bastard

To discover how much I do own

I have known what it is to be fluid

I've been teacher then student then dunce

I have lived like a sage then a joker

I have pissed in life's glass bowl of punch

I am the fool who has been granted fortune

I'll stagnate then I'll thrive it goes on

I drink coffee and write like a bastard

In search of courage

In search of meaning

In search of song
