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



oh when they beat

upon a broken guitar

and on the streets

they reek of tropical charms

the embassies lie in hideous shards

where tourists snore and decay



when they dance in a reptile blaze

you wear a mask

an equatorial haze

into the past

a colonial maze

where there's no more confetti to throw



you wouldn't know what to say to yourself

love is a poverty you couldn't sell

misery waiting in vague hotels

to be evicted



you're out of luck

you're singing funeral songs

to the studs

they're anabolic and bronze

they seem to strut

in their millennial fogs

'til they fall down and deflate



you wouldn't know what to say to yourself

love is a poverty you couldn't sell

misery waiting in vague hotels

to be evicted



oh and now you've had your fun

under an air-conditioned sun

it's burned into your eyes

leaves you plain and left behind

oh see them eyes and fall

into the jaws of a pestilent love



you wouldn't know what to say to yourself

love is a poverty you couldn't sell

misery waiting in vague hotels

to be a victim
