Artist/Band: Beck
Lyrics for Song: Lazy Flies
Lyrics for Album: Mutations [1998]



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 blueprint

Some creed of the devil

Inscribed in our minds



A hideous game

Vanishes in the 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 sulphur

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 fluoresecent

The skin of a robot

Vibrates with pleasure

Matrons and gigolos

Carouse in the parlor

Their hand-grenade eyes

Invalid and blind



A hideous game

Vanishes in the 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
