Looking back at some dead world that looks so new
Offices and fountains that they named for you
Dazzlements of accidents rejoice their doom
Hari-karis spinning round the golden looms
Girl you dream infections from a nauseous heart
Choice cut meats from derelict boulevards
Hear that lonesome whistle blow
No direction to be known
In a senile revelry
A tearful gaze turns away
Emoting cold and gray
Scented eunuchs
Clothe our wretchedness
Looking back at some dead world that looks so new
Offices and fountains that they named for you
So ungrateful to the who's and what's-his-face
Derelict's confections look so out of place
Looking back at some dead world that looks so new
Looking back at some dead world that looks so new
Looking back at some dead world that looks so new
Looking back at some dead world that looks so new
Looking back at some dead world that looks so new

NOTES:
Originally Nigel wanted this to be the 2nd track on "Mutations", just completely breaking the mood. But Beck ultimately preferred to make it an unlisted bonus track, sort of a segueway to the mood of "Midnite Vultures". The song itself is a testament to Nigel and Beck's work together, forming one beast of a song by taking pieces of several different recordings done throughout the sessions and putting them all together.
