Thunder Peel
Beck · Stereopathetic Soul Manure
It's an everlasting, it's a ghettoblasting
On the wonder wheel, let me thunder peel
Made an effort to get just what I deserve
I got all maxed out, gotta fax some doubt
She was jumping around, she's probably never coming down
In the thick and thin, I couldn't find it again
???
???
Now I'm rolling in sweat
With a cold cigarette
And a nickel in my jeans
On the levee she glides
She's got such hairy thighs
I got taken by surprise
By the shifting moon, yeah!
It's a cold ass fashion when she stole my passion
It's an everlasting, it's a ghettoblasting
On the wonder wheel, let me thunder peel
I made an effort to get just what I deserve
Yeah!
