Hotwax

Beck

Odelay

It takes a backwash man to sing a backwash song
Like a frying pan when the fire's gone
Driving my pig while the bear's taking pictures in the grass
In my radio smashed

And I like pianos in the evenin' sun
Dragging my heals 'til my day is done
Saturday night in the Captain's clothes
Tin horns blowin' with my jury 'phros

Yo soy un disco cabrado (got a box of hotwax)
Yo tengo chicle en cerabo (got a box of hotwax)

I can't believe my way back when
My Cadillac pants going much to fast
Karaoke weekend at the suicide shack
Community service and I'm still the mack

Shocked my finger spicin' my hand
I been spreading disease all across the land
Beautiful air-conditioned sitting in the kitchen
Wishing I was livin' like a hit man

Face down in the guarantees
Jaundiced marshalls getting busy with ease
Because I get down, I get down
I get down all the way

Yo soy un disco cabrado (got a box of hotwax)
Yo tengo chicle en cerabo (got a box of hotwax)

I'm a dance, dance, there
I'm a dance, dance, there

Sawdust songs of the plaid bartenders
Western Unions of the country westerns
Silver foxes looking for romance
In the chain smoke Kansas flashdance ass pants

And you got the hotwax residues
You never lose in your razor blade shoes
Stealing pesos outta my brain
Hazard signs down the Alamo lanes
Radar systems usin' the souls
You never get caught with the wax so rotten
All my days, I got the grizzly worms
Hijacked flavors that I'm flippin' like birds

Yo soy un disco cabrado (got a box of hotwax)
Yo tengo chicle en cerabo (got a box of hotwax)
