Beck
- Elevator Music
1, 2, you know what to
do
Alright
I'm uptight super
Gathered out of the frame
I shake a leg on the
ground
Like an epileptic battery
man
I'm making my move
Lettin' loose like a
belt
Little worse for wear
But I'm wearing it well
Tell me what's wrong
With a little grind n'
bump?
When the stereos erupt
With a kick drum punch?
Let's do it once
Probably do it again
and again
Like you did it before
But you're more erratic
than then
And you had a rough night
And the night's just
begun
Let a little bit of this
Pass with this gun
Don't let it hold you
back
But you're already set
No dead flowers gonna
grow
'Til the dirt gets wet
Put the elevator music
on
Pull me back where I
belong
The ambulance sings along
The fly on the wall
Doesn't know what's wrong
If I could forget myself
Find another lie to tell
If I had a soul to sell
I'd buy some time
To talk to my brain cell
Gutbucket and a bottle
of paint
It's like the schoolhouse
lights
Will never turn on again
Til the bottom wears
off
Of these high-heeled
boots
The bodies all move
Some backbone roots
Everybody workin' hard
'Til the yard is all
clean
The dishes wash good
In the washin' machine
Now you brush your teeth
And you comb back your
hair
You drive your vehicle
Like you just didn't
care
You're walkin' to work
With the boys and the
girls
And you're doin' it there
It's the end of the world
Now everybody's sweatin'
Forgettin' what's on
their mind
With your hand like a
mirror
You can see what's inside
When you're down and
out
Conquer it, there's nothing
that's real
It's like a platinum
card
Too amputated to feel
I got a silicon bible
song
Paranoid Jumbotron
?? with the weekend off
The fly on the wall
Doesn't know what's wrong
If I could forget myself
I'd find another lie
to tell
The bottom of an oil
well
Cell phone's ringing
I could talk to my brain
cell
All the dudes with banjos
Chicks with wicks
Animals with bananas
Got my hand like a mirror
You can see what's inside
Beck - Cellphone's
Dead
Strange ways coming today
I put a dollar in my
pocket
And I threw it away
Been a long time
Since a federal dime
Made a jukebox sound
Like a mirror in my mind
Control my worries
Fix my thoughts
Throw my hopes
Like a juggernaut walks
Now let-down souls
Can't feel no rhythm
Sorry entertainers
Like aerobics victims
Hybrid people
Light a wooded matchstick
Toxic fumes and the
Burning plastic
Beats are broken
Bones are spastic
Boombox talkin'
With a southern accent
Voodoo curses
Bible tongues
Voices comin'
From the mangled lungs
Give me some grits
Some get-down shit
Don't need a good reason
To let anything rip
Radio's cold
Solar's infected
One by one
I'll knock you out
God is alone
Hardware defective
One by one
I'll knock you out
Mr. Microphone making
All the damage felt
Like a laser manifesto
Make a mannequin melt
There's people phonin'
in
Like it's unlimited minutes
Going through the motions
Just to savor they did
it
Treadmill's running
Underneath their feet
So they feel like they're
going somewhere
But they're not
So let's put boots
On the warehouse floor
Comin' to you
Like a rope on a chainstore
Throwing equipment
From a moving van
Grab a microphone
Like a utility man
Now fix the beat
Now break the rest
Make a kick drum sound
Like an S.O.S.
Get a tow-truck
Cause it's after dark
And the dance floor's
full
But everybody's double-parked!
Cell phone's dead
Lost in the desert
One by one
I'll knock you out
Eye of the sun
Is out of its socket
One by one
I'll knock you out
One by one
This jam is real... that's
right
Eye of the sun
Eye of the sun
Eye of the sun
Ahhhhhhhhhh
Beck - Strange
Apparition
Lord, please don't forsake
me
In my Mercedes Benz
All the riches and the
ruins
Now we all know how that
story ends
Strange apparition
Haunting my brain
Standing on the last
legs
Of a dream that walked
away
When the Lord rings my
front door
And asks me what I got
to show
Besides the dust in my
pockets
And the things that just
eat away my soul
Strange apparition
Haunting my brain
There's some permissions
Of a dream that got cremated
The least I had to lose
from
Is the most I seem to
care
Anything should make
you happy
Nothing could make you
scared
We'll be on the shoreline
When that heavy ship
goes down
Did you think that you
were lucky?
You should see yourself
now

Beck
- Think I'm In Love
I really think I better
get a hold of myself
Don't wanna let the night
get ahead of myself
Whisperin' her love through
a smoke ring smile
She doesn't know what
happens when she's around
I think I'm in love
But it makes me kinda
nervous to say so
I think I'm in love
But it makes me kinda
nervous to say so
Doodododododooodoo
Probably lay my head on
a wooden floor
Tell her I was tired
from working the store
Counting all the cash
from an old shoebox
Saving up to buy her
something she wants
I think I'm in love
But it makes me kinda
nervous to say so
I think I'm in love
But it makes me kinda
nervous to say so
What if it's wrong?
What if it's wrong
To pray in vain?
What does it mean
To fake your death?
To wake up tainted?
Take a little picture
in a photobooth
Keep it in a locket and
I think of you
Both of our pictures,
face to face
Take off your necklace
and throw it away
I think I'm in love
But it makes me kinda
nervous to say so
I think I'm in love
But it makes me kinda
nervous to say so
Really think I better
get a hold of myself
Don't wanna let the night
get ahead of myself
Whisperin' her love through
a smoke ring smile
She doesn't know what
happens when she's around
I think I'm in love
Think I'm in love
Think I'm in love
Think I'm in love
Think I'm in love
Think I'm in love
Think I'm in love
Think I'm in love
Beck - No Complaints
We are aimless
And the target is an
empty wall
We're out of patience
With smiles that cut
across her face
No complaints
But I wish I had my top
of my brain
I'd like to walk
But the sun doesn't know
we're awake
We're in spaceships
Take a visit to the Pyranees
Paid vacations
Send a brochure from
the agency
No complaints
But my girlfriend dug
a ditch in my room
Walking papers and a
hole
Straight out from my
shoes
No complaints
But it's harder
To believe in the truth
She'll write a message
On a billboard
And I'll send it to you
We feel painless
Check the status on the
info line
In some ways tainted
Radiation from the factory
No complaints
But it's overrated, that's
for sure
Take a bus back
From Little Rock, Arkansas
Or Modesto
That's where my drawl
comes from
Beck - 1000BPM
Electronic actors and
astromagnetic
Corrupted files from
galactical planets
Writing interplanet code
Thoughts get transported
From neanderthal skulls
Digital food malls
Telemarketing people
With cellular headsets
on their skulls
Selling you wisdom
From a plexiglass prism
Biochemical jism
Hits you with its rhythm
They act like Earth
Was a terrestial prison
A zoo for humans
Put their cities into
ruins
Now we can feel what
we're doing
We move the stratosphere
in plastic
When you're out alive,
spastic
What else can the dust
try to tell us?
Comin' to you
One thousand beats per
minute
Comin' to you
One thousand beats per
minute
Comin' to you
One thousand beats per
minute
Comin' to you
One thousand beats per
minute
Categorizing in a crash
Taking pictures
And a backstage pass
Gasoline on fire
Tried to pull off this
mask
But there was really
a face
Which I just read from
a plan
Security cameras strapped
to his back
Fulfilled prescriptions,
antidotes
Media in a quarantined
submission
Consultants with remote
souls
Unanimous votes
Portions of the proceeds
Go to chain store victims
In the midget conditions
With remodeled kitchens
Comin' to you
One thousand beats per
minute
Comin' to you
One thousand beats per
minute
Comin' to you
One thousand beats per
minute
Comin' to you
One thousand beats per
minute |
