BECK - Youthless lyrics

rate me

There's a bottomless pit that we've been climbing from

Just to get on level ground

Shake your seasick legs around

Everyone in a logo town

Signs of life are stark and flickering

I need a bed to lay my body down

Dead weight to carry me down

Some static is lulling me to sleep

Hang your clothes on a chain link fence

In a junkyard say amen

Your mouth is full of wordless hymns

And run-on sentences

And we're helpless and forgetting in the background holding nothing

And we're youthless and pretending in the bearhands holding nothing

There's a million horse dragging down a monolith

these trademarks so bereaved

Tied my leg to a barricade

with a plastic handgrenade

They tried to turn emotion into noise

I need a teleprompter for my life

Need a pipeline to the night

My body can't get no relief

And this life it goes by fast

To treading water in the past

While you try to reanimate something that you don't understand

And we're helpless and forgetting in the background don't saying nothing

And he's youthless and forgetting in the bare hymns tied to nothing

And he's helpless and forgetting in the background don't saying nothing

And he's youthless and pretending with his bare hands tied to nothing
