Static Lyrics

can you feel it in the airwaves
rollin down the lane
black out in the background
standin in your veins
mmmmm
nothin that I wouldn't say to you

can you teach it to the prisoners
can you throw it at the wall
you leap into the altitudes
see just where you fall
mmmmm
nothin that I wouldn't take from you

can you fit it in the system
can you put it in a word
static and distortion
is all you ever heard
mmmmm
nothin that I wouldn't say to you

These lyrics are likely incorrect.

"Static" (Diamond Bollocks included) is one of my favorite tracks on Mutations. It has just the progressive bitterness to end the album perfectly.

Cover art for Static lyrics by Beck

It's so easy to laugh at yourself When all those jokes have already been written Seems like another vain attempt To let yourself fall out of the oven

Holy mountains, they look so tired And it's a perfect day to lock yourself inside

Who you foolin' if the fools are right It's the same thing but it's almost as different Hard to tell when it pacifies your mind Leaves you stranded with a broken engine

Lazy desert looks so mangled Let me drown in a convalescent bliss

Get up from your bed of rest Been a long time since you've lived And the static in your mind Leaves you hollow and unkind With a shock electric wave Turns you on

You've been flunked out of the devil's house Delinquent hygienes are so abrasive Some distortion that's never been known On the treadmill you'll be running forever

Holy mountains, they look so tired And it's a perfect day to lock yourself inside

Different song.

Different song.
