Youthless Lyrics - Modern Guilt - Beck

There's a bottomless pit that we've been climbing from 

Just to get on level ground 

Shake your seasick legs around 

Everyone in a logo town 

Signs of life are stark and flickering 

I need a bed to lay my body down 

Dead weight to carry me down 

Some static is lulling me to sleep 

Hang your clothes on a chain link fence 

In a junkyard say amen 

Your mouth is full of wordless hymns 

And run-on sentences

And we're helpless and forgetting in the background holding nothing 

And we're youthless and pretending in the bearhands holding nothing 

There's a million horse dragging down a monolith 

these trademarks so bereaved 

Tied my leg to a barricade 

with a plastic handgrenade 

They tried to turn emotion into noise 

I need a teleprompter for my life 

Need a pipeline to the night 

My body can't get no relief 

And this life it goes by fast 

To treading water in the past 

While you try to reanimate something that you don't understand

And we're helpless and forgetting in the background don't saying nothing 

And he's youthless and forgetting in the bare hymns tied to nothing 

And he's helpless and forgetting in the background don't saying nothing 

And he's youthless and pretending with his bare hands tied to nothing
