Serpentine Pad Lyrics

Serpentine Pad
from Pavement's album "Wowee Zowee"

The verse:
A5 power chords, tickling a G5 power chord at the beginning of every
couple measures, and at the beginning of each measure during the
second part of the verse. Here's the gist with a lame attempt at the lyrics.
Frequently called nothin' buts
Snorin' when you snap it back
Everyone
Knows it's you
Why won't you admit it, scream
You
That E5 is:
Then, the little bridge-riff is:
And take it all
Verse again, then the chorus, which goes like this:
single-note A (7th fret on D) D5
I be-lieve,
A-note C5 E5
that I'll never leave your serpentine pad.
(just in case yr wondering, all the chords are barre)
My interpretation of the lyrics:
Frequently called nothin' buts
Snorin' when you snap it back
Everybody, knows it's you, why won't you admit it, scream!
You
And take it all
Corporate integration
From the corporation
I don't need this corporation attitude
Tude tude tude
--Chorus--
I believe,
That I'll never leave
Your serpentine pad
Darlin' when you wake up
Better ask the grown-ups
If they have, hose and twine, leave the man who needed the lice
Think it might
Be another scene, bet
I don't wanna know, but
I don't know, if I should, if I could or if I would, anyway
(serpentine pad)
--Chorus--
End.
