No Picture James Average	#1 by James Newsome at Feb 15, 2001 at 12:57 AM EST
	NO POSTS!? Ok, this song sounds a little to me like he or someone he knows is leaving. Maybe he wants to leave town with someone. Other people, INPUT PLEASE!

No Picture chris the pirat Lead Player	#2 by chris the pirate. arr at Oct 12, 2007 at 1:25 AM EST
	Because I really, err, "dig" this band, album and song in particular, I'll post this: 2nd verse, 5th line; it's not "Tired place..." but "Tired FACE...", as far as I know. Hope I'm correct, haven't checked if there are anyother misspells here. Cheers! :D

No Picture Brandon Average	#3 by Brandon Weathers at Oct 17, 2007 at 7:09 AM EST
	"I know I'll never know" describes, quite accurately, how i feel about the "songmeaning" of this song. Too bad - Pavement is one of my favorite bands and this is one of my favorite Pavement tunes. I guess a lot of the imagery suggests a guy thinking about dying. dirty black cars (hearses?) angel of corpus christi. the end. no where to die. tired place in case you wanted to go. and so on. the title is pretty cryptic!

No Picture wrath Average	#4 by wrath child at Oct 18, 2007 at 7:17 PM EST
	Wow.... I really can't believe this hasn't been changed yet!!! Kinda poor... anyways, WHEN u guys decide correct these lyrics; it's also quite audible that Malkmus repeats "too much" in the last line in the 1st verse ("Cause too much, too much will leave you"). You know what I'm talkin bout! Man, I love this band! :D
