Painted Eyelids Pay No Mind Pay No Mind (version 2) People Gettin' Busy Pink Noise (Rock Me Amadeus) Puttin' It Down |
|
I wake up and look upon your painted eyelids the world is your oyster and the trashbags are your kids the ceiling is invisible there's a bird sinkin' through the sky and every hour that passes is teachin me how to cry cuz it's lonely here in the ugly part of town the buildings are all vacant and the telephones are down there's a police siren singing like a tiger with no skin the sewer drain is glowing and I don't know what state I'm in and the river is on fire there's chemicals in the breeze and all the roads are blocked off cuz they're just too hard to see so cancel my appointments and set up a whole new show cuz I'm in need of a good hot meal and a life to call my own so get me a plate of money and get me a blanket and a chair the limitations are limitless they're floating through the air because it's real and it's true the things I see in you and there's nothing I wouldn't talk about you're the clearest dream that ever drifted bytop
(this is song two on the album this is the album right here burn the album) 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 sleep in slime I just got signed so get out your lead-pipe 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 I pay no mind I pay no mind that's why i pay no mind [x7](note: on the vinyl version of "Pay No Mind" the lead-in is simply Beck counting. And there's an extra verse which goes:
Somebody burned down the picnic Someone kissed their own ass by mistake The cliches are turning into people With the greeting cards glued to their facetop
tonight the city is full of morgues and all the toilets are overflowing there's shopping malls ripping out from the walls as they walk out from the manure that's why I pay no mind I pay no mind I pay no mind so give the finger to the folksinger as he's....uh...y'know, doing his thing on the radio sales ride low thru the garbage-pail glow the radio ghetto-blasting sun that's why I pay no mind I pay no mind I pay no mind so get out your lead-pipe pipe dreams and get out your ten-foot flags the insects are huge the poison's all been used the poison's all been used that's why I pay no mind I pay no mind I pay no mindtop
Don't tell your right hand baby What your left hand do You know those road check girls Will make your brown breath blue Peaches and Cream You make a garbage man scream Such a dangerous dream Peaches and Cream…. You look good in that sweater And that aluminum crutch I'm gonna let you down easy I've got a delicate touch Peaches and Cream You make a garbage man scream Come on girl it's a dream You're a torn out page >From a best selling book Your home girl's on the line But your daddy's off the hook Where do we go now? Give those pious soldiers Another lollipop Cause we're on the good ship Menage et tois Peaches and Cream You make a garbage man scream Such a delicate thing Keep your lamplight trimmed and burningtop

The countryside is overgrown 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 phasetop
