Box Elder Lyrics by Pavement
Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
Wasn't the question you asked me
It wasn't the answer I gave
That made me feel like I was on a train

Was a distant voice
Made me make a choice
That I had to get the fuck out of this town

'Cause I got a lot of things to do, a lot of places to go
Well, I've got a lot of good things coming my way
And I'm afraid to say that you're not one of them

Last time I was there
You were out on the couch
Pressed into a little electric two

It was the way that you smiled
It made me know at once
That I had to get the fuck out of this town

'Cause I decide to take a stand
Oh, I'm not gonna take your hand
Oh, I'm taking the next bus outta here

I'm gonna head to Box Elder, M.O.
Box Elder, M.O., Box Elder, M.O.
Box Elder, M.O.
Wasn't the question you asked me   It wasn't the answer I gave   That made me feel like I was on a train      Was a distant voice   Made me make a choice   That I had to get the fuck out of this town      'Cause I got a lot of things to do, a lot of places to go   Well, I've got a lot of good things coming my way   And I'm afraid to say that you're not one of them      Last time I was there   You were out on the couch   Pressed into a little electric two      It was the way that you smiled   It made me know at once   That I had to get the fuck out of this town      'Cause I decide to take a stand   Oh, I'm not gonna take your hand   Oh, I'm taking the next bus outta here      I'm gonna head to Box Elder, M.O.   Box Elder, M.O., Box Elder, M.O.   Box Elder, M.O.
