Beck - Orphans (Modern Guilt) video free download

Beck performing "Orphans" from his 2008 Interscope/XL album "Modern Guilt."

Lyrics-

Think I'm stranded but I don't know where

I got this diamond that don't know how to shine

In the sun where these dark winds wail

And the children leave their rulers behind

As you cross ten leagues from a rubicon

With matchsticks for my bones

If we can learn how to freeze ourselves alive

We could learn to leave these burdens to burn

Cast out these creatures of woe

Who shatter themselves

Fighting the fire with your bare hands

Now my journey takes me further south

I want to hear what the blind men sing

With their fossils and their gypsy bones

I'll stand beside myself so I'm not alone

How can I make new again what rust every time it rains?

And the rain, it comes and floods our lungs

We're just orphans in a tidal wave's wake

If I wake up and see my maker coming

With all of his crimson and his iron desire

We'll drag the streets with baggage of longing

To be loved or destroyed from a void

To a grain of sand in your hand

Ahhhh

Ahhhh ooh ooh

Ahhhh oooh ooh

Ahhhh oooh ooh
