"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 in which a right equals wrong
Back to the pavement where bloody fables are sucked
Like cough sweets 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
