Pavement - the porpoise and the hand grenade

가사는 사랑의 복잡성을 다루며, 다양한 경험과 감정의 패턴을 조명한다
상실감과 갈등이 있지만, 그 속에서도 사랑에 대한 열망을 느낀다
궁극적으로 자신이 처한 상황을 받아들이려는 의지가 드러난다

Patterns divergin'
Don't raise the flag
For the sake of a volleyball
Bitters and rag
But you'll never try
Never collide
When wanderin' the piece of the shakin' you try
There's the pattern of the marketplace
See the value of what you never had
There's the pattern in the target face
See the lick align when they flounder
There's a porpoise in the hand grenade
There's divergent ways that make me love you
There's an armature and enemas
There's a spangled life that you gin harden
Columns of acorn
Hail from above
Shakin' the trees
Shakin' my love
But my happy Monday
See that it's Monday
My everything is all the heart that won't run
There's a matter that we'd like to share
With all who are concerned about progress
It's a-never gonna get to me
Cause I'm broken and I know I'm wishin'
You're a gib and chain
You're a cadent chain
You're a cadent chain
You're a cadent jane
