Sexx Laws
Beck · Midnite Vultures
Hijacking your equilibrium
Midnight snacks in the mausoleum
Where the pixilated doctors moan
Carnivores in the Kowloon night
Breathing freon by the candlelight
Coquettes bitch slap you so polite
Till you thank them
For the tea and sympathy
I want to defy
The logic of all sex laws
Let the handcuffs slip off your wrists
I'll let you be my chaperone
At the halfway home
I'm a full grown man
But I'm not afraid to cry
Neptune's lips taste like fermented wine
Perfumed blokes on the Ginza line
Running buck wild like a concubine
Who's mother never held her hand
Brief encounters in Mercedes Benz
Wearing hepatitis contact lens
Bed and breakfast getaway weekends
With Sports Illustrated moms
I want to defy
The logic of all sex laws
Let the handcuffs slip off your wrists
I'll let you be my chaperone
At the halfway home
I'm a full grown man
But I'm not afraid to cry
Sexx Laws
Sexx Laws stands as a defining track from Beck's 1999 album Midnite Vultures, capturing the artist's signature ability to blend disparate genres into a cohesive sonic landscape. The recording reflects the chaotic energy of the late nineties, merging elements of hip-hop, rock, and electronic music with a distinctively gritty production style. As part of an album that marked a significant shift in Beck's discography, the song showcases his experimental approach to rhythm and texture. It remains a notable song in his extensive catalogue, illustrating his continued evolution as a musician who refuses to be confined by a single sound. The track's enduring presence highlights its importance within the broader context of alternative music history.
