Range Life Songtext

von Pavement

Worum geht es in dem Song?

"Range Life" von Pavement handelt von den Erfahrungen und Gefühlen eines Künstlers, der das Leben auf Tour und im Rampen...

After the glow, the scene, the stage,
The sad talk becomes slow but there's one thing I'll never forget:
Hey, you gotta pay your dues before you pay the rent
Over the turnstiles and out in the traffic
There's ways of livin' its the way I'm livin' right or wrong
Its all that I can do and I wouldn't wanna let you be

I wanna range life
If I could settle down
If I could settle down
Then I would settle down

I wanna range life
If I could settle down
If I could settle down
Then I would settle down

Run from the pigs, the fuzz, the cops, the heat
Pass me your gloves
This crime, it is never complete
Until you snort it up or shoot it down
You're never gonna feel free
Out on my skateboard the night is just humming
And the gumsmacks are the pulse I'll follow
If my walkman fades
Well I got absolutely no one
No one but myself to blame
Don't worry, we're in no hurry
Schools out
What did you expect?

I wanna range life
If I could settle down
If I could settle down
Then I would settle down

I wanna range life
If I could settle down
If I could setle down
Then I would settle down

Out on tour with Smashing Pumpkins
Nature kids
I-- they don't have no function I don't understand what they mean
And I could really give a fuck
Stone Temple Pilots they're elegant bachelors
They're foxy to me, are they foxy to you?
I will agree they deserve absolutely nothin', nothin' more than me
Dreamin' dream dream dream dream...

...So Alive!
