Fame Throwa

Pavement

Fame throwa pass out the gold, the diamond

Watch, the last reward, all the things we had

Before you sold us out and took it all.

Head-borne cries from zenith sluts, astral

Rites from dead-end ruts.

These kids are sick-end wars

"One of the nation's spies.

One of our first recruits.

Click with her leather thighs

One of our first recruits."

How can you know? In the distance lies

A grower, nee rode off, king fame throwa

Son of groupie, red-worn sexan: spent his

Cash convincing us that the desert was

A starscape and sold our lives for a

Satellite so we could cry:

"Naked, naked foul" (sic)
