Pavement
Stop Breathing (1993)
[Verse 1]
Got struck by the first volley
Of the war in the court
When you gonna take me home
Send a wire, give my best
This ammunition it never rests
Dodge never took me home

[Chorus]
Start bleedin’
Start bleedin’
Bleedin’ for him
Write it on a postcard
Dad, they broke me
Dad, they broke me

[Chorus]
Start bleedin’
Start bleedin’
Start bleedin’
And write it on a postcard
Dad, they broke me
Dad, they broke me

[Verse 2]
I can see a house open shutters
And the leaves flocked on a grid
Never had my own base
Why they put ‘em down in the ground in this town
No one wakes up, no one wakes up
[Chorus]
Start breedin’
Start breedin’
Breedin’ for me now
Write it in a magazine
They broke me
They broke me

[Chorus]
Start bleedin’
Start bleedin’
Bleedin’ for me now
And write it on a postcard
Dad, you broke me

Sure, sure
Blood

[Vocalizations]

No one wakes up prayin’
No one wakes up
