Day 2. I’ve decided to go with another song from the same movie as yesterdays choice, A Life Less Ordinary, this time Beck’s Deadweight. This was probably Beck’s first release following his magnum opus Odelay & as such seems to come from the same place sonically. It’s certainly a mile away from Psych-Folk madness of the full-length follow-up, Mutations.
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 mercyIs it true what they say
You can’t behave
You gamble your soul awayMeasuring a jinx of this life seems
Like the gristle of lonelinessDon’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 appetiteOh, 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 vansDon’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 burn, eyes turn
Learning to counterfeit their diseaseIn this town where we roam
We bluff our souls
On canteen patio
Drink the latest draftThe music drags
The music drags
The music dragsDon’t let the sun catch you cryin’
Don’t let the sun catch you cryin
