Date with IKEA Lyrics by Pavement

Quarantine the Past: The Best of Pavement

1997

[Verse 1]
The actress is always breaking things
The things you made and she took you for
And I'm so tired I'd be lying
I hope the prairie buys you more

[Pre-Chorus]
The fitness coast is growing near
The shores, they don't stay blond this year
That's why the marble lawns stay clear
And warm in time

[Chorus]
I want to stay, but my time is wasting
The magic lands call my name
They want to fire a missile launcher
But I know I need to stay

[Verse 2]
We all know that by staying here
It'll be a good high this year
So what's the use to staying there
If you've got no use for time?

[Pre-Chorus]
The fitness coast is growing near
The shores, they don't stay blond all year
The continent moves with growing fears
It's all for expensive lawn

[Chorus]
I want to stay, but my time is wasting
The magic lands call my name
I want to fire a missile launcher
I know I need to stay

[Outro]
I know I need to stay and fight the day
I know I need to stay and fight the day
I know I need to stay
I know I need to stay
