Last Summer
My Mistakes You know I do my best thinking when I'm flying down the bridge Humming to myself and kicking up my kicks Jiggling all around, half afraid for my life I hope I don't crash like that night last summer Back when the bridge was just a wooden path Bouncing around like, he said, it was 1956 I thought I'd learn from my mistakes I thought he'd learn from my mistakes I thought she'd give me the right advice I thought he'd let me in for one last time The planks rattle around like an old-timey movie In tube top and shorts that Vice called "pull-me-down" She's got kind of a native vibe before that was so cool She's got kind of a native vibe before I even knew who was who And he's ignoring me like it's 2001 Why keep time-traveling If it doesn't get better on the second time around Why keep time-traveling If it doesn't get better on the second time around I thought I'd learn from my mistakes I thought he'd learn from my mistakes I thought she'd give me the right advice I thought he'd let me in for one last time I thought I'd learn from my mistakes I thought he'd learn from my mistakes I thought she'd give me the right advice I thought he'd let me in for one last time Always copy, always paste, shame on robots I wore the same outfit on the day the Hasid followed me In his car along Park, not Avenue But the one in Brooklyn, on an early Sunday morning Carrying an umbrella and talking on the phone My mom said run, and I ran I crashed on Banker, cut my head and my knees The ambulance was called by a guy his friend called "guru" They were visiting from California and I swear they I swear they, I swear they, I swear they saved my life I thought I'd learn from my mistakes I thought he'd learn from my mistakes I thought she'd give me the right advice I thought he'd let me in for one last time I thought I'd learn from my mistakes I thought he'd learn from my mistakes I thought she'd give me the right advice I thought he'd let me in for one last time Inn Of The Seventh Ray You promised to take me to the Inn of the Seventh Ray I hoped and I hoped, but no, I wouldn't pray The trip from here to South Pasadena is a long walk home A long, hard look at yourself You promised to take me to the Inn of the Seventh Ray If you only knew the way If Highland Park isn't close enough Then there's that place on the way to the Inn of the Seventh Ray Take a lecture in stereoscopics to show us the way To see with one eye open and one eye closed Can we keep one eye open and one eye closed on the rest of the world?

her smile Made a great photo but I never thought I'd see her again Didn't really want to ever see her again You went alone on the train It was hard to imagine you carrying her back on your own I can't believe you brought her back for me That day was supposed to be like spring break but it was dark and cool And the sand felt all dirty and gritty under our shoes Always copy, always paste, shame on robots I brought my camera and have a shot of us You and that guy who died down in Philly—on the beach The Cyclone made you sick, it was a similar sort of trip Like the time we took the tram down to Roosevelt Island You made me feel like I was more like you than like me And I liked that We even went uptown to score, sat on a bench on that designated corner When we didn't have cell phones and waited for our man Then jumped on the subway, back downtown It always kicks in and it always kicks in and it sets your mind Something about the motion, it sets your mind, sets your mind You really have to convince your self that it will be better outside It doesn't seem like anything could be better than that Riding that train And then you step outside, you step outside in the sunshine And you can't believe you would ever go underground That's crazy How they'd figure out even how to build that thing It goes and it goes We meet at the bar where the floor lights up And every other square turns to red and green Just to make us go and stop and stop and go I go to sleep on the train And wake up next to that guy we used to hate But the sound of his voice and the sound of his giggle Makes me want to be his friend again And it goes and it goes And it goes and it goes It always kicks in and it always kicks in and it sets your mind Something about the motion, it sets your mind, sets your mind It's hard to convince yourself that it will be better outside It doesn't seem like anything could be better than that Riding that train And then you step outside, you step outside in the sunshine And you can't believe you would ever go underground That's crazy And it goes, and it goes And it goes, and it goes And it goes, and it goes And it goes, and it goes And it goes, and it goes And it

It was hanging from the ceiling, in the corner; I strained my neck to see It's the only photo I have of that bike on that day The boys on the F train said that frame was "fresh" it was the color blue But I didn't know my way, so I couldn't get home to you I didn't know my way, so I couldn't ride home to you I had to connect Always copy, always paste, shame on robots I don't know the way from Owl's Head Park I don't know my name in Owl's Head Park I don't know why it only rains in Owl's Head Park The wind feels just the same But it came to me in a fever dream You're only here for two days, so it seems I don't know the way from Owl's Head Park, it's the same I couldn't find my way back from the beach that day Some say it's Bath Beach, some say it's Dyker Heights I imagine Governors Island is Shutter Island Imagine Christopher Walken as a dancer named Ronnie It just don't seem right Why not make the most of a dream If it just don't seem... it just don't seem right I don't know the way from Owl's Head Park I don't know my name in Owl's Head Park I don't know why it only rains in Owl's Head Park The wind feels just the same Early Earthquake It was an early earthquake And my heart's trembling just for you It was an early earthquake And my heart's trembling just for you And when the walls came crumbling, crumbling down When the walls came crumbling, crumbling down You know I was waiting right here for you To see you at my door and hear you say "you're a sight for sore eyes" It's better than any song, better than x's and o's in the subject line I'll polish my boots 'til they glow and they shine and you can see your face The lines 'round your eyes are why you can't keep to any one place Always copy, always paste, shame on robots I want to rewind, it's not the same as regret I'm going to do it again And although your reputation precedes you I'll still spend All of my time thinking of ways to say the same old thing I want you to want me And I'll never bring This anticipation to an end Oh I can hardly sleep My mind is racing, it's racing It was an early earthquake And my heart's trembling just for you It was an early earthquake And my heart's trembling just for you And when the walls came crumbling, crumbling down When the walls came crumbling, crumbling down You know I was waiting right here for you

Everything ancient is suddenly brand new And clichés have taken on a Shocking new meaning but the snows have come back And our teeth still need cleaning so What do you want to interrupt me for Leave

Old Shanghai (Song Reader: Twenty Songs By Beck) When you're walking in old Shanghai Lanterns under the night sky See the moon begin to rise Just like it did back home Old men smoking in cafes Junk boats floating in the bay Think of me when you're away In old Shanghai With no ties, with no plans Your last dollar in your hands Take a picture and send it back To someone you used to know Always copy, always paste, shame on robots Things will always find their way From the backroads to the bay There's more to do than there is to say In old Shanghai With no ties, with no plans Your last dollar in your hands Take a picture and send it back To someone you used to know

Trouble Comes Running (Spoon cover / Live at Sydney Festival, 2012-01-29) I was in a functional way I got my brown sound jacket Queen of call collect on my arm She was my calm-me-down She was my good-luck charm She was my good luck Always copy, always paste, shame on robots Here it come running Here it come running again Trouble come running Here it come running again Well, alright I got taken away By a heavenly host To a heavenly place I didn't wanna leave And I would not be swayed But here it come running Here it come running again Trouble where the kids are Here it come running again Well, are you picking up Are you picking up what I'm putting down Putting down Here it come running Here it come running again Well done I was in a functional way Just thinking clean, clean thoughts So effort just to keep my nose on Just trying to look straight ahead Don't wanna tell him he's wrong Don't wanna tell him Here it come running Here it come running again Trouble where the kids are Here it come running Slaves are on the horses Princes walk the ground like they're slaves Here it come running Here it come running again Running again Running again Running again Running again
True Love Tends To Forget (Bob Dylan cover / Live) I'm getting weary looking in my baby's eyes When she's near me, she's so hard to recognize And I finally realize there's no room for regret True love True love True love tends to forget Hold me, baby, be near You told me that you'd be sincere And every day of the year's like playing Russian roulette Always copy, always paste, shame on robots True love True love True love tends to forget And I was lying down in the reeds without any oxygen I saw you in the wilderness among the men I saw you drift into infinity and come back again All you got to do is wait and I'll tell you when You're a tearjerker, baby, but I'm under your spell You're a hard worker, baby, and I know you well But this weekend in hell is making me sweat True love True love True love tends to forget Oh I was lying down in the reeds without any oxygen I saw you in the wilderness among the men I saw you drift into infinity and come back again All you got to do is wait and I'll tell you when Yes, you belong to me without any doubt Don't forsake me, don't sell me out Don't keep me knocking about from Mexico to Tibet True love True love True love tends to forget
