Beck - Tropicalia

Tropicalia
Beck

when they beat
and on the streets
on a broken guitar
they reek of tropical charms
the embassies lie in hideous shards

where tourists snore and decay
when they dance in a reptile blaze
an equatorial haze
you wear a mask
into the past
a colonial maze
where there's no more confetti to throw

you didn't know what to say to yourself
love is a poverty you couldn't sell
to be evicted

misery waiting in vague hotels
you're out of luck
you're singing funeral songs
they're anabolic and bronze
they seem to strut
to the studs
in their millennial fogs
'til they fall down and deflate

you didn't know what to say to yourself
love is a poverty you couldn't sell
misery waiting in vague hotels
to be evicted
now you've had your fun

under an airleaves you plain and left behind
it's burned into your eyes
see them eyes and fall
into the jaws of a pestilent love

you didn't know what to say to yourself
to be a victimmisery waiting in vague hotels
love is a poverty you couldn't sell
