Lyrics - Trigger Cut by Pavement

Lies and betrayals
Fruit-covered nails
Electricity and lust won’t break the door
I’ve got a heavy coat- it’s filled with rocks and sand
And if
I lose it
I’ll be comin’ back today(
I’ve got a message for you)
I’ll be comin’ back today(
I keep it in my hand)
You know
I’m comin’ back one day(
I’ve got a sister or two)
And
I’ll be comin’ back today
Ex-magician, still knows the tricks
Tricks are everything to me
Until it’s free-
I’ve got a trigger cut
And
I can’t pull it back
But if
I learn how
I’ll be coming back today(
I’ve got a message for you)
I’ll be coming back today(
I keep it in my hand)
You just look at me and say(
I’ve got a sister or two)
You know
I wish you went away
I learned the truth
The truth of the words
Truth
I made for you
Because it’s just as good
And if
I spit it out
Before
I chew the ring
I’ll rearrange it’til it looks just right today(
I’ve got a message for you)
And
I’ll be comin’ back back my way(
I keep it in my hand)
You will look at me and say(
I’ve got a sister or two)
You just wish
I went away
