Yeah, yes, yes
Have I told you
Have I told you
Have I told you
Have I told you
You could really get it on?
You could really get it on?
Have I told you
Have I told you
Have I told you
Have I told you
You could really get it on?
You could really get it on?
I was at an all night diner
The sign said, "Triple X"
But they were talking about root beer
I'm just sitting down
Thinking about nothing
Looking at the thin air
Breathing up the oxygen
Have I told you
Have I told you
You could really get it on?
You could really get it on?
A guy comes up, looking pretty 8-ball
Snaggletooth smile, sits down at my table
Puts his arm around me, starts to share his information
He said, he said, he said
He said, he said, he said
He said, he said, he said, he said
He said, he said, he said
This is what he said
"I have sex, I'm always thinking about the pavement
So I can avoid premature ejaculation"
I got up, remembering to thank him
Better things to do so I'll start drinking
Have I told you
Have I told you
Have I told you
Have I told you
You could really get it on?
You could really get it on?
Have I told you
Have I told you
Have I told you
Have I told you
You could really get it on?
You could really get it on?
I'm in Tahoka, now I'm going to hook up
With the parties, unfortunately (like always)
No one has any ideas, damn
Have I told you
Have I told you
Have I told you
Have I told you
You could really get it on?
You could really get it on?
Have I told you
Have I told you
Have I told you
Have I told you
You could really get it on?
You could really get it on?
Have I told you
Have I told you
Have I told you
Have I told you
You could really get it on?
You could really get it on?
Have I told you
Have I told you
Have I told you
Have I told you
You could really get it on?
You could really get it on?
Have I told you
Have I told you

"A guy comes up, he's looking pretty 8-ball; snagged a chair, smile, sits down at my table; puts his arm around me, starts to share his information.
- This is what he said -
"I have sex, I'm always thinkin bout the payment so I can avoid premature ejaculation."
I think it's payment and not pavement. The druggie is sharing too much personal information with brock and brock really doesn't care to hear it. The druggie not only told Brock that he has a problem with premature ejaculation but also tells him how he has to pay for sex. "I always think about the payment" he's thinking about how much his prostitute is costing him.
But Idk, just my opinion.
it so great!
i got up remembering to thank him... better things to do so i start drinking.

I couldn't find any reference to Modest Mouse on the website :( I guess it's not the kind of story with which they would like to be affiliated ahaha. The Wikipedia article about Triple X root beer (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/…) mentions the song and quotes three lines, though.
Eeeheehee when I heard this song I thought it was about a brothel :D But the actual Triple X diner makes a lot more sense. Hear me out:
"Have I told you? You could really get it on!"
Pretty self-explanatory.
"All-night diner"
It runs all night long...
"The sign said Triple X"
So I associated it with sex...
"A guy comes up, lookin' pretty 8-ball"
Sketchy tweakers hang out there...
"Starts to share his information
He said he said he said (etc.)
When I have sex I'm always thinkin' 'bout the pavement
So I can avoid premature ejaculation"
Talks about sex, like he's just been doing it with a hooker!
"You could really get it on!!!"
"Now I'm gonna hook up..."
Alright, so he hires a "hook"er and they hook up.
See what I'm saying? I understand that it's not what the song's about... But that was my initial interpretation :)
it so great!
i got up remembering to thank him... better things to do so i start drinking.
pavement makes me think about looking down to avoid confrontation
I could see him writing about either.
So I can avoid premature ejaculation"
my favorite line in the song. ha. it gets me everytime. obviously this songs about a guy in a strip club. its pretty self explanitory
Fucking great song.
