Beck live - Lazy Flies (2021)

Lazy Flies (lyrics below) "A Very Special Intimate Acoustic Evening with Beck" (Irving Plaza, NYC, 9 Nov '21) full show:    • Beck - Irving Plaza, NYC (9 Nov 2021)   Catch Beck on his 2023 Odyssey tour with Phoenix: http://beck.to/tour Lazy Flies (Mutations, 1998) Lazy flies all hovering above, the magistrate puts on his gloves And he looks to the clouds all pink and disheveled There must be some blueprint, some creed of the devil inscribed in our minds A hideous game vanishes in the air, the vanity of slaves Who wants to be there to sweep the debris? To harness dead horses, to ride in the sun A life of confessions written in the dust Out in the mangroves, the myna birds cry In the shadows of sulphur, the trawlers drift by They're chewing dried meat in a house of disrepute The dust of opiates and syphillis patients on brochure vacations Fear has a glare that traps you like searchlights The puritans stare, their souls are flourescent The skin of a robot vibrates with pleasure Matrons and gigolos carouse in the parlor Their hand-grenade eyes invalid and blind A hideous game vanishes in thin air, the vanity of slaves Who wants to be there to sweep the debris? To harness dead horses, to ride in the sun A life of confessions written in the dust Lalalalalalalala...
