Trigger Cut lyrics

Song information

Artist: Pavement
Album: Slanted And Enchanted

Lyrics

Lies and betrayals
Fruit-covered nails
Electricity and lust won't break the door
I've got a heavy coat- it's filled with rocks and sand
And if I lose it I'll be comin' back today
(I've got a message for you)
I'll be comin' back today
(I keep it in my hand)
You know I'm comin' back one day
(I've got a sister or two)
And I'll be comin' back today

Ex-magician, still knows the tricks
Tricks are everything to me
Until it's free- I've got a trigger cut
And I can't pull it back
But if I learn how I'll be coming back today
(I've got a message for you)
You know I'm coming back today
(I keep it in my hand)
And you won't look at me and say
(I've got a sister or two)
That you just wish I went away

I learned the truth
The truth of the words
Truth I made for you
Because it's just as good
And if I spit it out
Before I chew the ring
I'll rearrange it
'Til it looks just right today
(I've got a message for you)
And I'll be comin' back my way
(I keep it in my hand)
And you won't look at me and say
(I've got a sister or two)
That you just wish I went away today
