Modest Mouse - Beta Carotene

Lyrics (roughly): I got myself the means I got myself what I call the beta carotene Perspire from all the strings I never had enough, enough to keep you stringing along And by the pool side I watch the summer and the thought of the last ends it, bye Sometimes you give so many lifts, well Sometimes you know you're gonna have to gonna get a ride I need to knock the ride, uh oh oh Ain't on your friends, all they'll say is no, you know your line and You'll say, oh no, you know, you know, you know, you know you're right I got myself the means I got myself what I call the beta carotene Perspire from all the strings I, I never had enough, enough to keep you stringing along And by the pool side I watch the summer and the thought of the last ends it, bye And sung so many lifts You know, know, know, know, know, know, know you're gonna have to go and get a ride Gonna have to tell and get a ride Have to go and get a ride Gonna have to, gotta get a ride Gonna have to, gotta get a ride And if you go in the water My family I know my heart will dry over And head, he needs to tell I'm on the drone, low Living it right and I'm never anywhere And I never feel somewhere, don't you know? Oh no, I never feel somewhere, don't you know? Oh no, I never (And now the water's right) Oh no, I know Oh no, oh no What was almost Oh no, I know, I know No, I know, I know, what it was You have hung on, I know, waterslide and Hell to pay Heaven is a collection agency I feel heaven, heaven's a collection agency Got the eye eye eye eye eye eye eye upon the pavement [Gabe's Oasis; Iowa City, Iowa (10-23-1997)] Photographs by Pat Graham
