Carrot Rope Lyrics - Pavement

Mark: I want to say: 

SM: It's my second hand wonder, 

a thing that recovers the doubt 

Spiral: Slim door, 

Mark: Like a rainstorm, you've got to do 

what you want and say it 

SM: It's of my design assembled at the cut 

Spiral: Slim door, 

SM: It's all right to shake, to fight, to feel 

Mark: You go down, down, down, down 

Spiral: Slim door, 

SM: It's all right to shake, to fight, to feel 

Mark: You go down, down, down, down 

SM: Harness your hopes to the folks 

with the liquor with the ropes, 

Red, red ropes, periscopes 

They've got everything you will ever need 

stored under the chair 

Simmer, simmer, simmer down 

Simmer, simmer, simmer down 

Don't waste your precious breath 

explaining that you are worthwhile 

Simmer, simmer, simmer down 

Simmer, simmer, simmer down 

Be patient and I'll let you see my 

Carrot rope, feed my thrill, 

I got beat by weather 

Carrot rope, feed my thrill, 

I got beat by weather 

Carrot rope, feed my thrill, 

It's time to get me off of the grounds, 

The wicket keeper is down 

SM: Hey little boy, would you like to know 

what's in my pocket or not 

It's no ploy, it's no gimmick, 

It's the chance of a lifetime to see 

something that's never seen by mere mortals 

Spiral: Except me 

Mark:And myself 

SM: And sweet I, so what do you say? 

Would you like to play 20 questions with me? 

SM: A little, little Christian lie, 

A little, little Christian lie 

Debating if it's time 

to drop the bomb on you, my dear 

A little, little Christian lie, 

A little, little Christian lie 

Let's get down to brass tacks and start it 

A carrot rope, feed my thrill, 

I got beat by weather 

A carrot rope, feed my thrill, 

I got beat by weather 

Carrot rope, feed my thrill 

It's time to get me off of the grounds 

The wicket keeper is down, 

The wicket keeper is down 

And he gets me off of the grounds 

Spiral:Leg
