Brooks Nielsen
Pavement and the Boot
[Verse 1]
The mirror was broken long before I arrived
I spread the shards of vanity causing me such agony
The TV has tubes, I found out with the window
Watched it fly with purpose to die in the yard below

[Chorus]
I’m outdated, out of sync, out of my mind, out of the loop
No longer stuck between the pavement and the boot

[Verse 2]
I am the dancing bear, this songs my gypsy
I sneak into your city past, your vigilance committee
The scene has no soul I found out with the window
I watched it fly with purpose to die like another John Doe

[Chorus]
I’m outdated, out of sync, out of my mind, out of the loop
No longer stuck between the pavement and the boot

[Bridge]
Lose my face, forget my name
Leave me behind to fade away
Lose my face, forget my name
Leave me behind to fade away
[Verse 1]
The mirror was broken long before I arrived
I spread the shards of vanity causing me such agony
The TV has tubes, I found out with the window
Watched it fly with purpose to die in the yard below

[Chorus]
I’m outdated, out of sync, out of my mind, out of the loop
No longer stuck between the pavement and the boot

[Outro]
Lose my face, forget my name
Leave me behind to fade away
Lose my face, forget my name
Leave me behind to fade away
