Embassy Row Lyrics by Pavement

Embassy Row Lyrics

    Old intuition -- on your dock we're fishin'
    Come on now, give us a grade
    A for effort, and a b for delivery
    C for devotion when the world starts encroaching on your plans
    Where is the savoir, where is the savoir -- he's not here right now
    Where is the savoir, where is the savoir-faire?

    Embassy row -- the fumes they lay low
    On lanes that are wide -- where the limousines glide
    On the wrought-iron gates and the bone china plates
    And don't forget your manners where the anthems play

    In a netherworld of foreign feeds
    In a netherworld of foreign feeds
    In a netherworld of foreign feeds
    I'm gonna take the crown, i'm gonna take the crown
    I'm gonna take the crown, i'm gonna take a crown

    Maids, they are frisked -- and asses are kissed
    I needed a visa -- i bought off a geezer
    Political favors could make you a savior
    In an open corner where the news is late

    In a netherworld of foreign feeds
    In a netherworld of foreign feeds
    In a netherworld of foreign feeds
    I'm gonna take the crown, i'm gonna take the crown
    I'm gonna take a crown, i'm gonna take a crown

    I need to get born, i need to get dead
    I'm sick of the forms, i'm sick of being misread
    By men in dashikis and their lefist weeklies
    Colonized wrath -- their shining new path
    The converted castle of moorish design
    If you want to stay the weekend, well, we wouldn't mind
    The plots they are hatching, the surface is scratching
    In an open corner where the news is late

    In a netherland of foreign beads
    In a netherland of foreign beads
    In a netherland of foreign beads
    I'm gonna take you down, i'm gonna take the crown
    I'm gonna take the crown, i'm gonna take the crown
    I'm gonna take the crown, i'm gonna take the crown
    I'm gonna take the crown, i'm gonna take the crown
