Pavement- 'Harness Your Hopes' (Official Lyric Video)

Lyrics:
Harness your hopes on just one person
You know, because a harness was only made for one
Don't telegraph your passes, you'll end up with molasses
Cauterized in syrup and syrup's not molasses

And I'm checking out the asses, the assets that attract us
To anything that moves, we're deep inside the groove
And it's time to shake the rations 'cause someone's gonna cash in
The movie starts at ten, the plot, it never ends

Well, show me a word that rhymes with pavement
And I won't kill your parents and roast them on a spit
And don't you try to etch it or permanently sketch it
Or you're gonna catch a bad, bad cold

'Cause the freaks have stormed the White House
I lived inside 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 goth kid has a hearse, the filly lost her purse

Nun is to church, as the parrot is to perch
And my heart's 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 a 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

Earth-shaking, rattle-snaking
Kiwis are a-home baking
Minds wide open, truly

[MeanManu]

The world can never get enough of Pavement !!!

[hell_screen]

lmao, the fact that they're only making this now just goes to show how popular this song has gotten recently

[XD_lilchicken]

The lyrics“Pinched between your pointer your index and your thumb” make me so happy for no reason

[cheyenneyandell]

Pavememt rhymes with Depravement (killing parents), engravement (etching something) ailment (cold/sickness) i love how they put the answers right there

[SirGuyHoneymoon]

It takes real skill to write a catchy song that doesn't have a chorus

[aslynbr]

I love the excitement and confusion of things that don’t make sense, yk as a slightly autistic child. I love this song. I love how everyone came together to find the implied words and meanings, like Jack Stauber songs or Wes Anderson movies. I love Wes Anderson.

[kaybeeny]

You give this man drugs and a dictionary and tell him to write a song, this would be that song (obsessed tho)

[justadude]

The mental image of a goth kid riding in a hearse will never cease to be hilarious to me.

[alexwestconsulting]

I love this song. But the official video is just so, so good that well....

[aziemazie]

[mitchpollock]

This singer’s got style, miles and miles.

[little-olive]

I love that when they say show me a word that rymes with pavement the next sentences are the meanings of words that rhyme with pavement

[Starr_zzzz]

Makeing a note book with my fav songs written in them for older me, this is on the first page.

[godonoga]

Pavement rhymes with Enslavement, wow, it took me two hours playing this on loop, the song is great
