Pavement was an indie rock band that formed in Stockton, California in 1989. For most of the period to 1999, the band consisted of Stephen Malkmus (vocals, guitar), Scott "Spiral Stairs" Kannberg (guitar, vocals), Mark Ibold (bass), Steve West (drums) and Bob Nastanovich (percussion, vocals). During that period, and since, they have frequently been described as one of the most influential bands to emerge from the American underground of the '90s. While their split in 1999 was reportedly rather acrimonious

A Wasn't the question you asked me
A It wasn't the answer I gave
EA That made me feel like I was on a train
A Was a distant voice
A Made me make the choice
EA That I had to get the fuck out of this town
DA 'Cause I got a lot of things to do
DA A lot of places to go
DE I've got a lot of good things coming my way
E And I'm afraid to say that you're not one of them.
AAEA
Last time I was there You were out on the couch Pressed into ellipsal electric (?)
It was the way that you smiled Made me know at once That I had to get the fuck out of this town
'Cause I've decide to make a stand And I'm not gonna take your hand I'm taking the next bus outta here, I'm gonna head for Box Elder, M.O.
