Pavement- "Harness Your Hopes" (Official Music Video)

[Intro] Ah! Ah! La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la Sha-sha-sha-sha-ah, sha-sha-sha-sha-ah Sha-sha-sha-sha [Verse 1] Harness your hopes on just one person Because you know a harness was only made for one Don't telegraph your passes, you'll end up with molasses Cauterized in syrup and syrup and molasses And I'm checking out the asses, the assets that attract us To anything that moves, we're deep inside the grooves And it's time to shake the rations, 'cause someone's gonna cash in The plot, it turns again, the reference starts at ten [Verse 2] Well, show me a word that rhymes with Pavement And I won't kill your parents and roast them on a spit And a-don't you try to etch it, or permanently sketch it Or you're gonna catch a bad, bad cold And the freaks have stormed the White House I moved into 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 yearling took the purse, the goth kid has a hearse [Chorus 1] Heartbreaking, earthquaking, Kiwis, they are home baking Minds wide open truly [Verse 3] 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 the 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 [Chorus 2] Nun is to church as the parrot is to perch And my heart's wide open truly
