Lazy Flies - Beck video free download
"Lazy Flies" by Beck off of the album "Mutations"
Let me know if any of the lyrics are wrong or if you notice any blips in the audio.
Lazy flies all hovering above
The magistrate, he puts on his gloves
And he looks to the clouds
All pink and disheveled
There must be some blueprints,
Some creed of the devil
Inscribed in our minds
A hideous game
Vanishes in thin air
The vanity of slaves
Who wants to be there?
To sweep the debris
To harness dead-horses
To ride in the sun
A life of confessions
Written in the dust
Out in the mangroves
The mynah birds cry
In the shadows of sulfur
The trawlers drift by
They're chewing dried meat
in a House of disrepute
The dust of opiates
And syphilis patients
On brochure vacations
Fear has a glare that traps you
Like searchlights
The puritans stare
Their souls are fluorescent
The skin of a robot
Vibrates with pleasure
Matrons and gigolos
Carouse in the parlor
Their hand-grenade eyes
Impotent and blind
A hideous stain
Vanishes in thin air
The vanity of slaves
Who wants to be there?
To sweep the debris
To harness dead horses
To ride in the sun
A life of confessions
Written in the dust

i was listening to mutations for the first time now. then lazy flies came and...HOLY SHIT. this song is absolutely brilliant, i really have no words to describe it. that harmony came from the heaven or the mind of syd barret, i don't know. (also i've figured out that this album, especially this song, probably was an influence to MGMT, because it has this psychedelic vibe)9 years ago

Some of the best lyrics he ever wrote. "Out in the mangroves, the mynah birds cry. In the shadows of sulfur, the trawlers drift by. They're chewing dried meat in a house of disrepute. The dust of opiates and syphilis patients on brochure vacations. Fear has a glare that traps you like searchlights. The puritans stare; their souls are fluorescent...." Awesome.12 years ago
