Pavement - Embassy Row Lyrics
Old intuition -- on your dock were fishinCome on now, give us a gradeA for effort, and a b for deliveryC for devotion when the world starts encroaching on your plansWhere is the savoir, where is the savoir -- hes not here right nowWhere is the savoir, where is the savoir-faire?Embassy row -- the fumes they lay lowOn lanes that are wide -- where the limousines glideOn the wrought-iron gates and the bone china platesAnd dont forget your manners where the anthems playIn a netherworld of foreign feedsIn a netherworld of foreign feedsIn a netherworld of foreign feedsIm gonna take the crown, Im gonna take the crownIm gonna take the crown, Im gonna take a crownMaids, they are frisked -- and asses are kissedI needed a visa -- I bought off a geezerPolitical favors could make you a saviorIn an open corner where the news is lateIn a netherworld of foreign feedsIn a netherworld of foreign feedsIn a netherworld of foreign feedsIm gonna take the crown, Im gonna take the crownIm gonna take a crown, Im gonna take a crownI need to get born, I need to get deadIm sick of the forms, Im sick of being misreadBy men in dashikis and their lefist weekliesColonized wrath -- their shining new pathThe converted castle of moorish designIf you want to stay the weekend, well, we wouldnt mindThe plots they are hatching, the surface is scratchingIn an open corner where the news is lateIn a netherland of foreign beadsIn a netherland of foreign beadsIn a netherland of foreign beadsIm gonna take you down, Im gonna take the crownIm gonna take the crown, Im gonna take the crownIm gonna take the crown, Im gonna take the crownIm gonna take the crown, Im gonna take the crown
