Текст песни:

Time wears away
All the pleasures of the day
All the treasures you could hold
Days turn to sand
Losing strength in every hand
They can′t hold you anymore

Already dead to me now
′Coz it feels like I′m watching something die

Love looks away
In the harsh light of the day
On the edge of nothing more
Days fade to black
In the light of what they lack
Nothing′s measured by what it needs

Already dead to me now

@ Beck

Текст песни:

Plastic donut, can of spam
There′s no kindness in this land
Better not let my good girl catch you here
She′s getting all juiced up with a bottle of plain wrap beer

Coffee clothing pasted on
Clean my gravestone when I′m gone
And you better not let my good girl catch you here
She′s got a whole pile of things you don′t want to hear

Hitch my horse up to the town
Got my toenails painted brown
And you better not let my good girl catch you here
She′ll cut you down and put the blame on me

Just a muscle in a bag
Throw my baby, don′t let her sag
But you better not let my good girl catch you here

@ Beck

Текст песни:

We like the boys
With the bullet proof vests
We like the girls
With the cellophane chests (x2)
I know you really want it
Cuz your Daddy′s always on it
And he knows just how to flaunt it
He got pictures in his wallet
And he wanna be your lover
Does he look just like my mother
Does he cover you like butter
And just leave you in the gutter
I want to know if I′m worth your time
There′s so much to do before you die
Thursday night, I think I′m pregnant again
Touch my ass if you qualify
we like to ride on executive planes
we like to sit around and get real paid (x2)
I know you really want it
Cuz your Daddy′s always on it
And he knows just how to flaunt it
He got pictures in his wallet
And he wanna be your lover
Does he look just like my mother
Does he cover you like butter
And just leave you in the gutter
I want to know if I′m worth your time
There′s so much to do before you die
Thursday night, I think I′m pregnant again
Touch my ass if you qualify
(all of that mixed, again)

Текст песни:

Lazy flies all hovering above
The magistrate, he puts on his gloves
And he looks to the clouds
All pink and disheveled
There must be some blueprints,
Some creed of the devil
Inscribed in our minds
A hideous game
Vanishes in thin air
The vanity of slaves
Who wants to be there?
To sweep the debris
To harness dead-horses
To ride in the sun
A life of confessions
Written in the dust
Out in the mangroves
The mynah birds cry
In the shadows of sulfur
The trawlers drift by
They′re chewing dried meat
House of disrepute
The dust of opiates
And syphilis patients
On brochure vacations
Fear has a glare that traps you
Like searchlights
The puritans stare
Their souls are fluorescent
The skin of a robot
Vibrates with pleasure
Matrons and gigolos
Carouse in the parlor
Their hand-grenade eyes
Invalid and blind
Vanishes in thin air
The vanity of slaves
Who wants to be there?
To sweep the debris
To harness dead-horses
To ride in the sun
A life of confessions

@ Beck

Текст песни:

I′ll be your chauffeur on a midnight drive
It takes a miracle just to survive
Buried animals call your name
You keep on sleeping
Through the poignant rain
I think we′re going crazy
Her left eye is lazy
She looks so Israeli
Nicotine and gravy
I′ll feed you fruit that don′t exist
I′ll leave graffiti
Where you′ve never been kissed
I′ll do your laundry
Massage your soul
I′ll turn you over
To the highway patrol
I think we′re going crazy
Her left eye is lazy
She looks so Israeli
Nicotine and gravy
I think we′re going crazy
Things don′t even faze me
Her left eye is lazy
Nicotine and gravy
Miracles amaze me
She looks so Israeli
Love the way she plays me
I think I′m going crazy
I don′t want to die tonight

Текст песни:

In a cast iron cage you couldn′t help but stare like a creature
With the laws of a brothel and the fireproof bones of a preacher
And your lingo coined from the sacrament of a casino
On a government loan with a guillotine in your libido

Who′s gonna answer
Profanity prayers
Who′s gonna answer
These profanity prayers

Well you know how it looks when you pull all your books from the table
And you stare into space trying to discern what to say now
And you wait at the light and watch for a sign that you′re breathing
Cos you can′t just live on air and float to the ceiling

Who′s gonna answer
Profanity prayers
Who′s gonna answer
Profanity prayers

Who′s gonna answer
Profanity prayers
Who′s gonna answer
Profanity prayers

Текст песни:

Amanda, light of the man′s life
Make sure the faith in the light and make heard
The greatest woman
The greatest woman
To be the man′s greatest wife

I thought it all over, lord knows I′ve tried
It′s a awful great struggle in any man′s life
To look in the mirror in total surprise
At the great hair on her shoulders
And the great big big beautiful beautiful eyes

@ Beck

Текст песни:

Definitely this is the wrong place to be
There′s blood on the futon
There′s a kid drinking′ fire
Going′ down to the sea
They′ve got people to meet
Shaking hands with themselves
Looking′ out for themselves
When they ask you credit
You give them a branch
When they want to get it
You chew on the grass
I know, I know
′Cause they told me to tell you
There′s nothing to tell you
There′s nothing to sell you
In the afternoon
Riding the scapegoat
Burning equipment
Decomposing
Cool of your jets
Take off your sweats
I got a funny feeling
They′ve got plastic in the afterlife
When they want you to cry
Leap up into the sky
When they suck your mind
Like a pigeon you′ll fly
I know, I know
It′s the positive people
Running from their time

@ Beck

Текст песни:

You′re just the girl of my dreams
But it seems my dreams never come true
You′re just the girl of my dreams
But it seems my dreams never come true

I first met you down on lover′s lane
The birds were insane
Flapping all about
Softly you would sing
Swinging in your swing
It wasn′t night, it wasn′t day

You′re just the girl of my dreams
But it seems my dreams never come true
You′re just the girl of my dreams
But it seems my dreams never come true
You′re just the girl of my dreams

@ Beck

Текст песни:

Touch me I′m cold, unable to control
Touch me I′m golden and wild as the wind blows
And tumbling tumbling, don′t go fascination

If just for tonight darling, let′s get lost
If just for tonight darling, let′s get lost

Let me come closer, I′m not your shadow
With our eyes shielding from the oncoming counts
It′s not hard for us to say what we should not

If just for tonight darling, let′s get lost
If just for tonight darling, let′s get lost

Touch me I′m cold, unable to control
Touch me I′m golden and wild as the wind blows
And tumbling tumbling, don′t go fascination

If just for tonight darling, let′s get lost
If just for tonight darling, let′s get lost
If just for tonight darling, let′s get lost
Let′s get lost
Let′s get lost
Let′s get lost
Let′s get lost

Текст песни:

She took me off my guard with disappointment
I got sucked inside of her apartment
She′s got dried-up flowers, flaky skin
A beaded necklace and a bottle of gin

She′s a nightmare Hippy girl
With her skinny fingers fondling′ my world
She′s a whimsical, tragically beauty
Self-conscious and a little bit moody

It′s a new age letdown in my face
She′s so spaced out and there ain′t no space
She′s got marijuana on the bathroom tile
I′m caught in a vortex
She′s changing′ my style

She′s a nightmare Hippy girl
With her skinny fingers fondling′ my world
She′s a whimsical, tragically beauty
Uptight and a little bit snooty

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

She′s a magical, sparkling′ tease
She′s a rainbow choking′ the breeze
Yo, she′s busting′ out onto the scene
With nightmare bogus poetry
She′s a melted avocado on the shelf
She′s the science of herself
She′s spazzing out on a cosmic level
And she′s meditating with the devil
She′s cooking salad for breakfast
She′s got tofu the size of Texas
She′s a witness to her own glory
She′s a never-ending story
She′s a frolicking depression
She′s a self-inflicted obsession
She′s got a thousand lonely husbands
She′s playing′ footsie in another dimension
She′s a goddess milking her time

For all that it′s worth

@ Beck

Текст песни:

Big pain burnin′ now
Givin′ me a cow
What you seem to be saying
Is you′re patiently waiting
Like an ashtray for the butt

Well I′m puttin′ it down
When you′re not picking it up
When I′m puttin′ it down
But you treat me like a clown
And I don′t want to be funny

Fat chance glued to the wall
Like a centerfold
Of an old cannonball
Will you put me inside
Your tv tonight
Cos you′re treatin′ me like a rerun

Well I′m puttin′ it down
But you′re not pickin′ it up
Well I′m puttin′ it down
But you treat me like a clown
And I don′t want to be funny
No no no no no

So what
I lost my job at the Hut
My ass got cut
But I′ll be better at kissin′
When my teeth are all missin′
And the silverware′s burnt
And I′m eatin′ with my fingers

And I′m puttin′ it down
And you′re not pickin′ it up
Well I′m puttin it down
But you treat me like a clown
And I don′t want to be funny

@ Beck

Текст песни:

Your brains went black
When she took back her love
And put it out into the sun
The birds did fly
When the heavens all went dry
And the cigarettes were smoking′ by themselves
She′ll do anything
She′ll do anything
She′ll do anything
To make you feel like an asshole
Call her name, she looks the same as you
Question marks stretched across her skin
She dangles carrots
Makes you feel embarrassed
To be the fool you know you are
She′ll do anything
She′ll do anything
She′ll do anything
TO MAKE YOU FEEL LIKE AN ASSHOLE

@ Beck

Текст песни:

Where will you go
When this day is over
A gambler′s purse
Lays on the road
Straight to your door
Snakes have gone crazy tonight
Winding their way out of sight
A laugh, a joke
A sentiment wasted
Seasons of strangers
They′ve come and gone
Doldrums are pounding,
Cheapskates are clowning this town
Who could disown themselves now
Engineer, slow down this old train
Cinders and chaff
Laugh at the moon
Night birds will cackle
Rotting like apples on trees

@ Beck

Текст песни:

I′m coming over
See me down at the station
By the lane
With my hands in my pocket
Jingling a wish coin
That I stole from a fountain
That was drownin′
All the cares in the world
When I get older
Climbing up on the back porch fence
Just to see the dogs runnin′
With a ring and a question
And my shivering voice is singing
Through a crack in the window
Na na na na na, I better go it alone
Na na na na na, I better go it alone
Na na na na na

Down on the corner
See me standing
In a makeshift home
With a dust storm comin′
In a long black shadow
Pull a hammer from a coal mine
Down where your daddy was workin′
Comb my hair back
Strike a match on the bathroom wall
Where my number was written
Driving on the sidewalk
Lookin′ back at the sky
It′s burning in the rearview mirror
Na na na na na, I better go it alone
Na na na na na, I better go it alone
Na na na na na

Na na na na na na
Na na na na na na

I′m coming over
See you down at the station
By the lane
With my hands in my pocket
Jingling a wish coin
That I stole from a fountain
That was drownin′
All the cares in the world
When I get older
Climbing up on the back fence
Pointing to the dogs standin′ firm
With a ring and a question
Dime-a-dozen
In a voice that was singing
Underneath the window
Na na na na na, I better go it alone
Na na na na na, I better go it alone
Na na na na na

I gotta go it alone
Don′t go it alone
Doo doo doo doo
I better go it alone
Doo doo doo doo
Na na na na
Na na na na
Doo doo doo doo
Na na na na

@ Beck

Текст песни:

Go to sleep
We′re so tired now
Altogether in a snake pit of souls
New days
To throw your chains away
To try to hang your hopes on the wind

Little one
Just a little way
Today all we need is waiting

Night rise
Like the evening prize
In a turnstile backwards we fly
Cold bones
Tied together by
Black ropes we pulled from a swing

Little one
Just a little way
Today all of the dreams are waking

Can′t stand on crooked legs
I′m cross-eyed to the wall
In these harbor lights
Satellites explode

Drown, drown
Sailors run aground
In a seachange nothing is safe
Strange waves
Push us every way
In a stolen boat we′ll float away

Little one
Hold on

@ Beck
