Beck – Runners Dial Zero

By the dried up stream
We slit our throats and dreamed
But when the buildings burned
Was there some concerned
Mother laid in bed
What was it she said?

Gather all your worldly jewels
And scatter them like fools
Dont you make a fuss
Days so perilous
When day is done well ride
Who cares what we find

Another misspent night
We thought we got it right
The driver lost a wheel
The ice turned into steel
They shivered like refugees
Way down on our knees

By the dried up stream
We slit our throats and dreamed
But when the buildings burned
Was there some concerned
Mother laid in bed
What was it she said?

  1. This song is …
    This song is probably one of the greatest songs I have ever heard.

    It is a bonus track from Beck’s album Mutations, from the non-US pressings.

    From wikipedia:
    “There are a variety of bonus tracks on non-U.S. pressings of the album. “Runners Dial Zero”, “Halo of Gold”, “Black Balloon”, and “Electric Music and the Summer People” (a re-recording of an Odelay era B-side) each appear on select international versions.”

    The other three, I’m not so fond of, but Runners Dial Zero… Holy shit…
