So Stark (you're A Skyscraper) Lyrics - Pavement

I've been waitin' here for oh so long 

I've been waitin' here for oh so long 

This is life 

And it's flat 

And it's six 

And it's eight, times 

This is life 

And it's flat 

And it's three 

And it's four 

She's a real debutante 

She'll never fall 

Waves in the taxi of room-service calls 

I've been with viceroys 

And I've been with kings 

In your emporium 

It's gold inlaid rings 

She can't live 

Beside the spiral staircase 

When the money's coming in 

White jar left of shelf above blue chair 

Leave the old rugs down behind the stairs 

Stunning bureaucrat 

You're so fucking lost 

Stark as a skyscraper 

Letters embossed 

Stunning bureaucrat 

You're so fucking lost 

Signing the letters 

And cutting the costs 

I can't live 

Beside the spiral staircase 

When the money's coming in 

Da, da, da 

Ba, da, da 

La, da, da 

La, da, da
