Someone took in these pants
Somebody painted over paint
Painted wood
And where he stood, no one stands
It's been said he's sitting now
In the churning land
Well, I've seen saints, but remember
That I forgot to flag 'em down
When they passed
And in the morning light
You hold that ashtray tight
You could put it out
But I can't put it out
My hands shook, down and out
I've got the blisters of the world
World new
I name the book after you
So look up and watch the camera lens
When the risers fade
Slow it down! Song is sacred!
And brother, you're a hunter
And you're right at home
And in the morning light
I'll hold my ashtray tight
I could take it down
And you can't take it down
La-da-da-da-da-da-da (4x, etc.)
Don't expect (7x)

And in the morning light
You hold that ashtray tight

But I can't put it out
My hands shook, down and out
I've got the blisters of the world

Someone took a dump in his pants
The poo covered the paint on the bench he was sitting on
He says the same thing using the word "wood" which he needed for the next rhyme "stood"
He got off the bench and the poo moved to the ground and no one would stand there
He still sitting in poo. Churning refers to milky agitated poo.
Churning: To make by the agitation of milk or cream: churn butter.

the salon cover is decent, but i had the fortune to see pavement play it live in either '95 or '96 and it made my evening - i think in the end i saw them play pretty much everything that i love over various shows apart from 'greenlander'.
not to say the original isn't my favorite song in the world.
S.M. had something there in that little corner of the world in the nineties.
and i wish it were still then and there.
