The angry air it lifts me up
Almost like a chosen one
But the pavement keeps on chewing on
All my chewing gum soles
The curbs screech in impatience
To scrape my begging knees
And as I fall I see the vultures
Waiting in the trees
Pavement be my savior
Scrape me from her walls
Pavement my sad-stoned pavement
You know where I belong
How can I grow wiser
If you fold in riddles over me
And what's the purpose of your nights
If they take no drowning lives?
If only fiercely flickering frenzy
Can keep me on my feet
Then how could I do anything
But plunder all my selves
Pavement be my savior
Scrape me from her walls
Pavement my sad-stoned pavement
You know where I belong
Pavement my sad-stoned pavement
The night belongs to us
