Nitemare Hippy Girl Lyrics
she took me off my guard with disappointment
I got sucked inside of her apartment
she's got dried-up flowers, flaky skin
a beaded necklace and a bottle of gin
she's a nightmare hippy girl
with her skinny fingers fondlin' my world
she's a whimsical, tragical beauty
self-conscious and a little bit moody
it's a new age let-down in my face
she's so spaced out and there ain't no space
she's got marijuana on the bathroom tile
I'm caught in a vortex, she's changin' my style
she's a nightmare hippy girl
with her skinny fingers fondlin' my world
she's a whimsical, tragical beauty
uptight and a little bit snooty
oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
she's a magical, sparklin' tease
she's a rainbow chokin'' the breeze
yo, she's bustin' out onto the scene
with nightmare bogus poetry
she's a melted avocado on the shelf
she's the science of herself
she's spazzing out on a cosmic level
and she's meditating with the devil
she's cooking salad for breakfast
she's got tofu the size of Texas
she's a witness to her own glory
she's a never-ending story
she's a frolicking depression
she's a self-inflicted obsession
she's got a thousand lonely husbands
she's playin' footsie in another dimension
she's a goddess milking her time for all that it's worth
I got sucked inside of her apartment
she's got dried-up flowers, flaky skin
a beaded necklace and a bottle of gin
with her skinny fingers fondlin' my world
she's a whimsical, tragical beauty
self-conscious and a little bit moody
she's so spaced out and there ain't no space
she's got marijuana on the bathroom tile
I'm caught in a vortex, she's changin' my style
with her skinny fingers fondlin' my world
she's a whimsical, tragical beauty
uptight and a little bit snooty
she's a rainbow chokin'' the breeze
yo, she's bustin' out onto the scene
with nightmare bogus poetry
she's a melted avocado on the shelf
she's the science of herself
she's spazzing out on a cosmic level
and she's meditating with the devil
she's cooking salad for breakfast
she's got tofu the size of Texas
she's a witness to her own glory
she's a never-ending story
she's a frolicking depression
she's a self-inflicted obsession
she's got a thousand lonely husbands
she's playin' footsie in another dimension
she's a goddess milking her time for all that it's worth

I've known a few chicks like this. It's so spot on, too. Captures the essence and beauty of the "hippie chick" so perfectly. I love this tune. Brings back memories of old friends. One in particular. But then thinking about her starts me thinking about the whole old gang, and it's just a great nostalgia tune for me. Always makes me think back to years gone by, and always makes me smile. That's what this one means to me. Thanks, Beck.
I always figured "footsie in another dimension" was A) totally wasted and B) flirting with ideas of spirituality in that superficial, ankh&angst kinda way
Incidentally, I totally know this Nitemare Hippie girl. Seriously, I first heard this song wfrom a friend who was singing it in the kitchen and I was amazed, because usually she can't rhyme worth a damn, and I was convinced she'd written it for our puff-pastry pal.
This song is hilarious, epic win. I agree with the last post... I hate it when music and stuff is just a trend to some people :/
ah ha! that's so funny. hippies suck
i love hippies
she's a whimsical, tragical beauty
I love that part.
This kind of seems like it is a song that you write for/about a friend, half mocking(but thats ok, because even that seems flattering here). I don't really get a vibe of like, a girlfriend here. Just that friend who just seems, like amazing and crazy...or two or three all mixed together. I love it. (Who's going to write a song about me?)
I love the very last stanza. I downloaded the song, but only listened to it a few times and didn't really know the lyrics and one morning I fell asleep with my iPod and was half-asleep listening to this song in my dream and I swear I thought I made the lyrics up. So when I was fully conscious, I got on the computer and looked up the lyrics and I found out it was Beck. I thought it was funny. But yeah, I like this song. :]
do you know if beck is gay??
I'm a nitemare hippy girl
