EVIL THINGS Sign in or register

 
What in the world can it be
Heavy the hand that's laid on me
Hot as a razor
Cold ice age
Turning another open page

See the city far away
Like a dream I had today
These evil things don't rattle me now
Don't rattle me now

On the horizon
On the sea
Over the road of revelry
Down in the cancelled avalon
Counting the hours until I'm gone

You see these cities far away
Like a dream I had today
These evil things don't rattle me now
Don't rattle me now

Seize the moment when
You take a long hard look again
Morning stares back
Says you're on your own
You're on your own
All alone like you've always known

See these cities far away
Like a dream I had today
These evil things don't rattle me now
Don't rattle me now

NOTES:
This song made it's first or two appearances when Beck sang it with Eddie Vedder of Pearl Jam at the Recording Artists Coalition benefit gig in 2002.

It was later recorded with Tony Hoffer for the pre-album demos, and while Beck really wanted to have it on Sea Change, time prevented a Nigel recording.

It took over 11 years for this song to be played live again. It was originally slated to be on Morning Phase but was eventually cut from the tracklist.

What in the world can it be
Heavenly hands laid on me
Cold as a razor
Cold as age
Turning another open page

See the city far away
Like a dream I had today
These evil things don't rattle me now
Don't rattle me now

On the sea
Over the road of revelry
Down in the cancelled avalon
And in the hours till I'm gone

Like a dream I had today
These evil things don't rattle me now
Don't rattle me now

Heavy the hand that's not on me
Holding the hand that's laid on me
Holding an open page
Cold as a razor
Cold as age

See these cities fall away
Like a dream I had today
These evil things don't follow me now
Don't follow me now

On the horizon
On the sea
Over the road of revelry
Down in the cancelled avalon
And in the hours till I'm gone

See these cities fall away
Like some dream we had today
These evil things don't follow me now
Follow
Don't follow me now

Take the chance that (???)
Don't you look again
You can't (???) falling out
Is it all I know
Don't (???) below

See these cities fall away
Like a dream we had today
These evil things don't follow me now
Don't follow me now
