Harness Your Hopes Lyrics - Spit On A Stranger - Pavement

Harness your hopes 

Harness your hopes 

On just one person 

Because you know a harness 

Was only made for one 

Don't telegraph your passes 

You'll end up with molasses 

Cauterized in syrup 

And syrup and molasses 

And I'm checking out the asses 

The assets that attract us 

To anything that moves 

We're deep inside the grooves 

And it's time to shake the rations 

'Cause someone's gonna cash in 

The plot it turns again 

The reference starts at ten 

Well, show me 

A word that rhymes with pavement 

And I won't kill your parents 

And roast them on a spit 

And a-don't you try to etch it 

Or permanently sketch it 

Or your gonna catch a bad, bad cold 

And the freaks have stormed the white house 

I moved into a lighthouse 

It's on a scenic quay 

It's, oh, so far away 

Far away from the beginning 

The shroud is made of linen 

The yearling took the purse 

The goth kid has a hearse 

Heart breaking 

Earth quaking 

Kiwis they are home baking 

Minds wide open truly 

Leisure 

A leisure suit is nothing 

It's nothing to be proud of 

In this late century 

And I'm asking you to hold me 

Just like the morning paper 

Pinched between your pointer 

Your index and your thumb 

It's a semi-automatic 

Believers are ecstatic 

You see the way they cling 

The cold metallic sting 

And I'm living in a coma 

For Donna de Varona 

The harness made of hopes 

The lovers on the ropes 

Nun is to church 

As the parrot is to perch 

And my heart's 

Wide open Truly
