You came, you went
My mind it got a dent
I couldn't make my rent
Cos all my cash was lent
This town is filled
With thousand-dollar-bills
Laminated songs
Contaminated lawns
Well we eat about fifteen times a day
Starin' through a bag of Frito Lay
And I play with the fire in the stove
When my eyes peel out and my fingertips get cold
Well it's real and it's fake
And it's flamin' like a steak
And she's puttin' out my face with the rake
Oh honey you knew
That you were my one and only blur
Unglued, depressed
The meatloaf in my chest
Personality test
I failed with the best
And I stomped and I stormed
And I passed out in your dorm
Then you hustled me outside
I couldn't catch a ride
But the subway trains speak to me now
I'm browsing through the supermarket town
And the girls don't talk when I'm around
And I'm feelin' bad even though nothing's wrong
Chokin' on a breathmint
(That's cool
Yeah, that's cool)

Stereopathetic Soulmanure ranks among my top 3 beck albums, higher the Odelay, [Though it's close] I didn't like it on the first listen, but after I got over the weird voices, the unnecessary noises, and the messed up tracks I've come to love it.
One of two rare decent songs on the album. What a slde to the trash heap for Beck after the excellent mutations. Truly Stereopathetic Soulmanure!
Recheck your release dates.
Idiot.
I have to agree, though. Only this one and Rowboat really stand out. Satan Gave Me A Taco is an acquired taste.
Oh, I must be in the minority, because I've come to love Stereopathetic, it's craptacular. But I was never a big fan of this song, smooshed on the end as it is, until recently. It's hilarious from start to finish. I love "staring through a bag of Frito Lay"
I'm gonna go out on a whim and say, Modesto, California?
@marprz17 I think so, too, especially since the 70s teenage cult film American Graffiti is set there. That film seems right up Beck's valley with its coming-of-age Americana style and parallels the themes found in his other songs.
