Beck - Youthless (Modern Guilt) video free download

Beck performing his song "Youthless" from the 2008 Interscope/XL album, "Modern Guilt."

Lyrics-

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

Just to get on level ground

Shake your seasick legs around

Dead of winter in a logo town

Signs of life are soft and flickering

Need a bed to lay my body down

Deadweight that you carry round

The 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 they're helpless

And forgetting in the background

Holding nothing

And they're youthless

And pretending

With their bare hands

Holding nothing

There's a million horses dragging down a monolith

These trademarks so bereaved

Tied my leg to a barricade

With a plastic hand grenade

That tried to turn emotion into noise

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

You're treading water in the past

Trying to re-animate something

That you can't understand

And they're helpless

And forgetting in the background

Saying nothing

And he's youthless

And forgetting

With his bare hands

Tied to nothing

And he's helpless

And forgetting in the background

Giving nothing

That is youthless

Trembling

With his bare hands

Holding nothing
