----------Pay No Mind (Snoozer) - Beck
Tonight the city is full of morgues And all the toilets are overflowing There's shopping malls coming out of the walls As we walk out among the manure That's why I pay no mind I pay no mind I pay no mind Give the finger to the rock'n'roll singer As he's dancing upon your paycheck The sales climb high through the garbage-pail -sky like a giant dildo crushing the sun That's why I pay no mind Sheep in slime I just got signed So get out your lead-pipe dreams Get out your ten-foot flags The insects are huge and the poison's all been used And the drugs won't kill your day job...honey That's why I pay no mind [x7] |

Put me in a hole in the ground With the money and the towel And the women learnin' to bow Can't complain about the mess Momma killed her only dress Now she's longin' for the pants Watch my troubles all unwind Drinkin' gasoline and wine Catchin chill up the storm On the train they cannot feel Lost my head beneath the wheel Now she steals my body home The trees are fake, the air is dead The birds are stuffed with poison lead And the ground is much too clean And if it's only me who's scared Strap me into the 'lectric chairs Ring the moon like a broken bell When she drags you from the hill Daddy's gonna burn down the still We can watch it from the rooftop Ooh... [etc...] Lay into the fryin' pan Now she kisses her own hand With the fiddle on the fire I took a leap into the fog Sleepin' on a hollow log Now I'm coughin' with no mouth You can keep yourself inside But you know you cannot hide When the devil's your only friend mmmmmmmmmm......

Brother, are you really here?
The package I received is gone Are you a phantom detective? Can you read my soul backwards? I would glide with you If you are a backwards ghost I will hire you Brother, are you really home? Holy as a blessed worm A paradise ambasssador Bring me to your room And I will throw you rocks today And watch them pass right through, you say And this is not a game or test We both have done some grieving Brother, with your vast reward A treasury you can't afford Surgeries and innocence abounds And I have read in paper books My eyes are glands on twisted hooks Never have I felt or looked So sorry for you now Brother, are you trained to spy? One eye open, one eye dry When I die, will you be my neighbor? Tell me things I like to know Dressing up from head to toe Let them know to and fro From here and tomorrow Brother, are you really here? The message I received is gone Are you a phantom detective? Can you read my soul backwards? I would glide with you If you are a backwards ghost I will hire you |

Cabos sueltos enlazan a mi cabeza Si pensabas ir a lugar Donde los paganos van Pongalo junto Invitacion extrano Despierto alguien arrastra mis huesos Nosotros ascendemos en la tarde Y recuerdo tu sonrisa Con el viento salvaje Hay algo vacio cuando empieza Viajo sin rumbo fijo en mis botas viejas Cabos sueltos enlazan a mi cabeza Si pensabas ir a lugar Donde los paganos van Pongalo junto Invitacion extrano |

Is it come and gone
Is it long before the spirit shaves his legs? Is it wrapped in trash Sent back to a sanitation tank? Is it disinfected, disconnected 'Til it grafts some wires? Is it sped up, spun around Brown and yellow in the fires? What is this town? They said I got no place to be The money meter's taking everything I see Is it comes in lovely bones That put their shirts on ice? Is it fireflies that cross out eyes with any spice? Is it normal, born-again? Let the vultures drink and drown Is it's force from weathers? Birds of feathers never frown What is this town? They said I got no place to be The money meter's taking everything I see Is it come and gone Is it long before the spirit shaves his legs? What is this town? They said I got no place to be The money meter's taking everything I see |

On a highway, unpaved, going my way
You're so alone today Like a ghost town, I've found There's no belief, no salt in the sea Is it true what they say? You can't behave You gamble your soul away Measuring the dreams, of this life seems Like the gristle of loneliness Don't let the sun catch you cryin' Don't let the sun catch you cryin' Like an ice age, nice days, are on your way Sipping the golden drinks On a rip-tide, freak's ride Asleep inside, a parasite's appetite Oh, say can't you see? The chemistry The parasites, the clean up fee Death never hands recycled cans And get well cars to the hostage vans Don't let the sun catch you cryin' Don't let the sun catch you cryin' You're a deadweight, right straight On your way Sunk in the midnight shade Skies burned, eyes turned Learning to counterfeit their disease In this town where we roam We bluff our souls In canteen patios Drink the bravest draught The music drags The music drags The music drags Don't let the sun catch you cryin' Don't let the sun catch you cryin' |

Out on the highway I'm doing it my way
Zig-zag patients vibrating the ancients Handing out money, the fly's making honey Beaches aplenty, the pigs on the levee Let's don't be like everyone else With the one-trip rooms, the halfway house Big black drums beat in the night Running away, that's what I like Seasons are turning, village is burning Convalescents open their presents Wandering children ready and willing Beggars and lightweights harness the highways Let's don't be like everyone else With the one-trip rooms, the halfway house Big black drums beat in the night Running away, that's what I like Abandoned coal mines, we'll have a good time Redtape rivals recycling bibles Let's don't be like everyone else With the one trip rooms,,the halfway house Big black drums beat in the night Running away, that's what I like |

Offices and fountains they named for you
Stacks and zealots wither in shit-filled rooms Hari-karis barely a tear for you Hairy fairies spinning the golden looms Wake up the ghosts and lepers Aching in their slavery smoke Delinquent hygienes atrocious We'll shoot out the great white crescent We'll shoot out the great white crescent Fisticuffs and zithers of Zanzibar Body pills and shiver and caviar Dazzlements and accidents body's chart Choice cut meats of derelict boulevards Wake up the ghosts and lepers Aching up their slavery smoke Delinquent hygienes atrocious We'll shoot out the great white crescent We'll shoot out the great white crescent Wake up the ghosts and lepers Aching in their slavery smoke Delinquent hygienes atrocious We'll shoot out the great white crescent We'll shoot out the great white crescent |

Bust a move with what you can
Dead phone machine piled on the table Disappointment is a feather in your cap You want the truth, not when it's unplanned There's no map that can tell you where you are You're in between things that only go half way You want the best, you want contests Where everybody loses on purpose by mistake |

People lookin' fresh In their lightning bones Had the TB Blues I couldn't find no phones Women driving down In their whip flash rides Had a wooden nickel finger Pointing from all sides Tryin' to get together Into some kind of scene I shook my spice last Sunday Like a broken machine I got 50-foot woofers And I'm lonesome tonight I put my hands in the air Like a hazard light I'm going back home With my gold chains swinging I'm going back home With my gold chains swinging I'm going back home With my gold chains swinging I'm going back home With my gold chains (What's your name? Cheetah and Tammy) Stealin' my water from an empty well I got birds of life and a chain-gang bell Smokin' cigarettes like an ass in the road I got debutantes with the elephant's gold Feast and famines all holding their hands Filling in the blanks with swollen glands Draggin' my heels down the varicose lanes Paradise landlords swingin' their chains I'm going back home With my gold chains swinging I'm going back home With my gold chains swinging I'm going back home With my gold chains swinging I'm going back home With my gold chains People lookin' fresh In their lightning bones Had the TB Blues I couldn't find no phones Women driving down In their whipflash rides Had a wooden nickel finger Pointing from all sides Tryin' to get together Into some kind of scene I shook my spice last Sunday Like a broken machine I got 50-foot woofers And I'm lonesome tonight I put my hands in the air Like a hazard light I'm going back home With my gold chains swinging I'm going back home With my gold chains swinging I'm going back home With my gold chains swinging I'm going back home With my gold chains |

It takes a backwash man to sing a backwash song
Like a frying pan when the fire's gone Driving my pig while the band's taking pictures in the grass In my radio smashed And I like pianos in the evening sun Dragging my heels 'til my day is done Saturday night in the captain's clothes Tender horns blowin' in my jury 'fros Yo soy un disco quebrado Yo tengo chicle en el cerebro * I can't believe my way back when My Cadillac pants going much to fast Karaoke weekend at the suicide shack Community service and I'm still the mack Shocked my finger, spots on my hand I been spreading disease all across the land Beautiful air-conditioned, sitting in the kitchen Wishing I was living like a hit man Face down in the guarantees Jaundiced honchos gettin' busy with me Because I get down I get down I get down all the way Yo soy un disco quebrado Yo tengo chicle en el cerebro * Sawdust songs of the plaid bartenders Western Unions of the country westerns Silver foxes looking for romance In the chain smoke Kansas flashdance ass pants And you got the hotwax residues You never lose in your razor blade shoes Stealing pesos out of my brain Hazard signs down the Alamo lanes Radar systems piercing the souls You never get caught with the wax so rotten All my days I got the grizzly words Hijacked flavors that I'm flipping like birds Yo soy un disco quebrado Yo tengo chicle en el cerebro. * girl: "who are you?" man: "I'm the enchanting wizard of rhythm." girl: "why did you come here?" man: "I came here to tell you about the rhythms of the universe...." *chorus translation: "I'm a broken record, I have bubblegum in my brain" |

It takes a backwash man to sing a backwash soul Like a frying pan when the fire's gone Driving my pig while the bands taking pictures in the grass And my radio's smashed And I like pianos in the evening sun Dragging my heals 'til my day is done Saturday night in the Captain's clothes Tender horns blowing when my jewelry froze Yo soy un disco quebrado Yo tengo chicle en mi cerebro I can't believe my way back when My Cadillac pants going much to fast Karaoke weekend at the suicide shack Community service and I'm still the mack Shocked my finger spicing my hand I been spreading disease all across the land Beautiful air-conditioned sitting in the kitchen Wishing I was living like a hit man Face down in the guarantees Jaundiced honchos getting busy with ease Because I get down I get down I get down all the way Yo soy un disco quebrado Yo tengo chicle en mi cerebro Sawdust songs of the plaid bartenders Western Unions of the country westerns Silver foxes looking for romance In the chain smoke Kansas flashdance ass pants And you got the hotwax residues You never lose in your razor blade shoes Stealing pesos out of my brain Hazard signs down the Alamo lanes Radar systems piercing the souls You never get caught with the wax so rotten All my days I got the grizzly words Hijacked flavors that I'm flipping like birds Yo soy un disco quebrado Yo tengo chicle en mi cerebro Who are you?

Ease yourself on down And if you're bound and frowned You better put it on down 'Cause 4am, gonna hit it again Leaving dollar bills on the buffalo hills The moon's eye is frozen shut These vacant lanes unknown, uncut Shredded up and sold for seed Another tribute sent to a backwards breed Hear those buzzards flap their heaps Up above where skies are cheap For pioneers with chandeliers Darkened arks in diamond ears Through those rusty windows Traffics shoot like venom Static addicts Causing us to fly like sticks Fumes of flags and endless wicks INFERNO!!! Habit-trails of garbage pails I search and strip my stale grails And when it's time to strike the blues I gotta let my jive and jackass fuse This pollution is electrocution Riffs and rags, no resolution My wagon limps a miser's pace On borrowed fuels of lice and lace Hail to the mother man Can't stand the soul can Cold sweat, tiger tan Sold my gold and left this land Vaccination, cancellation Tuning in to the two-bit station Alkaline batteries shot Summer's all tied In the hangman's know INFERNO!!! |

I been drifting along in the same stale old shoes
Loose ends tying a noose in the back of my mind If you thought that you were making your way To where the puzzles and pagans lay I'll put it together: It's a strange invitation When I wake up someone will sweep up my lazy bones And we will rise in the cool of the evening I remember the way that you smiled When the gravity shackles were wild And something is vacant when I think it's all beginning I been drifting along in the same stale old shoes Loose ends tying the noose in the back of my mind If you thought that you were making your way To where the puzzles and pagans lay I'll put it together: It's a strange invitation |

Kiss the girl slay a hag
Feel the flavor freedom fag Get up early, do your chores Chase the murder with the rancid pores The thyroids with friendly blade The haunted beast with faces flayed Silver chicken make a fuss Reveling in molten puss Favorite patrons crack their death With arteries and tinsel breath Revolution purple fist Pummeling your angel piss Sour powered wussy soul Solid darkness goddess show Weaving heirlooms thru the hour From the cradle monster cowered Waking up delicious ghost They'll eat themselves from coast to coast Dancing in their bandages The victims grow leaving messages Hear the commune cocaine blast Earthly mothers with flattened chests Sloping gardens, mystic hours Fried vibrations overpowered In the mangles of their hair Shrouded spirits and underwear Crazy wires fuse their brains Drinking water sugar cane Playing drums and broken flutes Homeless gods and iron boots Flying wicked love control Circus storm and demon skull Entering the solar sphere Planets meld crystal clear Thrashing in the astral glow Flashing in their fleshly show Waking up delicious ghost They'll eat themselves from coast to coast Dancing in their bandages The victims grow leaving messages |

It's an everlasting, it's a ghettoblasting On the wonderwheel I let my thunder peel I made an effort to get just what I deserve I got all maxed out, I got faxed some doubt I was jumping around, she was a runnin' coming down In the thick of a trick, I couldn't take my pick Between a slime and a fist just to cool off your dog I'm taking morphine Now I'm rolling in sweat With a loaf of cold bread And a taco in my jeans On the map if you glide She's got such ugly thighs I got taken by surprise With the plate of flaming noodles It's a cold ass fashion when she stole my passion It's an everlasting, it's a ghettoblasting On the wonderwheel I let my thunder peel I made an effort to get just what I deserve |

There's a destination a little up the road

on a highway unpaved
goin' my way you're so alone today like a ghost town I've found there's no relief no soul no mercy is it true what they say you can't behave you gamble your soul away measuring a jinx of this life seems like the gristle of loneliness don't let the sun catch you cryin' don't let the sun catch you cryin' like an ice age nice days on your way sipping the golden days on a riptide freak's ride sleep inside a parasite's appetite oh say can't you see the chemistry the parasites that clean up for me death never hails recycled cans get well cards to the hostage vans don't let the sun catch you cryin' don't let the sun catch you cryin' you're a deadweight right straight on your way sunk in the midnight shade skys burn eyes turn learning to counterfeit their disease in this town where we roam we bluff our souls on canteen patio drink the latest draft the music drags the music drags the music drags don't let the sun catch you cryin' don't let the sun catch you cryin' |

Brother, are you really here?
The package I received is gone Are you a phantom detective? Can you read my soul backwards? I would glide with you If you are a backwards ghost I will hire you Brother, are you really home? Holy as a blessed worm A paradise ambasssador Bring me to your room And I will throw you rocks today And watch them pass right through, you say And this is not a game or test We both have done some grieving Brother, with your vast reward A treasury you can't afford Surgeries and innocence abounds And I have read in paper books My eyes are glands on twisted hooks Never have I felt or looked So sorry for you now Brother, are you trained to spy? One eye open, one eye dry When I die, will you be my neighbor? Tell me things I like to know Dressing up from head to toe Let them know to and fro From here and tomorrow Brother, are you really here? The message I received is gone Are you a phantom detective? Can you read my soul backwards? I would glide with you If you are a backwards ghost I will hire you |

Viajo sin rumbo fijo en mis botas viejas
Cabos sueltos enlazan a mi cabeza Si pensabas ir a lugar Donde los paganos van Pongalo junto Invitacion extrano Despierto alguien arrastra mis huesos Nosotros ascendemos en la tarde Y recuerdo tu sonrisa Con el viento salvaje Hay algo vacio cuando empieza Viajo sin rumbo fijo en mis botas viejas Cabos sueltos enlazan a mi cabeza Si pensabas ir a lugar Donde los paganos van Pongalo junto Invitacion extrano |

Gather all your worldly jewels And scatter them like fools Don't you make a fuss Days so perilous When day is done we'll ride Who cares what we find Another misspent night We thought we got it right The driver lost a wheel The ice turned into steel They shivered like refugees Way down on our knees By the dried up stream We slit our throats and dreamed But when the building's burned Was there some concerned Mother laid in bed What was it she said? |

the trains are wrecked the night is younger than us and nowhere is anywhere else you sleep to yourself stirring the dregs where I have laid the exit signs are flashing dead ends, they won't come to life anymore well I pledged the rest I should have guessed your love was hangin by threads tongues tied under the moon your love is a room of broken bottles and tangled webs the miser's wild them eyes like clocks that cock their gears on and on and if it's meant some accident or some coincidence crumbs fall out of the sky as you wander by the dust clouds roam, nobody's home so lay my bags upon all the funeral fire and sing it again |

There's a lighthouse in her soul Wrestling with butcher girls She don't ever change her clothes Masterpieces liquidate in fertile tears I could sleep inside her bones A hundred years Lizards in the pressure zone Mother knows it's only a phase Cherry gardens feel like ice Hazard lights from her past Underneath the broken bridge Hookers hug illegal dads Masterpieces liquidate in fertile tears I could sleep inside her bones A hundred years Lizards in the pressure zone Mother knows it's only a phase |

Can't you hear
those cavalry drums Hijacking your equilibrium Midnight hags in the mausoleum Where the pixilated doctors moan Carnivores in the Kowloon night Breathing freon by the candlelight Coquettes bitch slap you so polite Till you thank them For the tea and sympathy I want to defy The logic of all sex laws Let the handcuffs slip off your wrists I'll let you be my chaperone At the halfway home full grown man But I'm not afraid to cry Neptune's lips taste like fermented wine Perfumed blokes on the Ginza line Running buck wild like a concubine Who's mother never held her hand Brief encounters in Mercedes Benz Wearing hepatitis contact lens Bed and breakfast getaway weekends With Sports Illustrated moms I want to defy The logic of all sex laws Let the handcuffs slip off your wrists I'll let you be my chaperone At the halfway home I'm a full grown man But I'm not afraid to cry I want to defy The logic of all sex laws Let the handcuffs slip off your wrists I'll let you be my chaperone At the halfway home I'm a full grown man But I'm not afraid to cry |

from Beck - Sexxlaws [single] (1999)
I was born in a landslide
In the jungle land I can play a piano With a funeral hand Ooh salt in the wound, making me blue Ooh salt in the wound, play me a tune Worked on a railroad Slept on a cot If you got what it takes They'll take what you got Ooh salt in the wound, making me blue Ooh salt in the wound, play me a tune Sha-la-la-la-la-la Sha-la-la-la-la-la Sha-la-la-la-la-la Sha-la-la-la-la-la... Out on the North Sea Where the waters are wild You wept like a mad dog Like a Ozone child Ooh salt in the wound, making me blue Ooh salt in the wound, play me a tune Play me a tune, play me a tune, play me a tune, play me a tune Sha-la-la-la-la-la Sha-la-la-la-la-la Sha-la-la-la-la-la Sha-la-la-la-la-la Sha-la-la-la-la-la... |
