A great piece of melancholy, unfortunately neglected in Beck's extensive oevre. The Suburbia version is divine, and far more developed; its lyrics are as follows:
Make a move with what you can
Dead waters rise higher than your mind
Disappointment is a feather in your cap
You want the truth so you can crush it in your hand
There's no map that can tell you where you are
You're in between things that only go half way
Your tangled brain, your tired old refrain
You'll be singing it in your tired old asylum
You want the best, you want contests
My eyes are filled with prizes you've been showing
Your disappointment is a card up your sleeve
Place your bets at the door before you leave
@dreamface Any idea what it means? I've been listening to it as a B side to Sissyneck for years. Perhaps like you say it means nothing but is entirely the melancholy mood as a whole.
