Beck - This Girl That I Know Lyrics

Laser animator
Add another to the breaker
On a broken escalator
We could get what we need

'Cause it's a night of confessions
Electric digressions
Honorable mentions get a bouquet of weeds

And everybody moving
Like they know what they're undoing
Pushing weight against the wall
In a stifling room

Cities in shambles, untangling tangles
People get together
To uncover the ruins

This girl that I know
I met her at a Minuteman show
(She used to work for a literary journal
But she's really into guitar)

This girl that I know
I met her at a Booker T Show
(She kind of brushed me off
I think she likes movies from France)

Just like a lone dancer
In lonesome disaster
With a chrome ghetto blaster
We just do what we feel

Even if it's atrocious
There's no hope for the hopeless
If there's nothing to cope
We get a rhythm that's real

Like a Tuesday commuter
With a dirty computer
We see the future hanging out
In a monoxide cloud

Habits are forming
Like cigarettes boring
To a smoker in the morning
Pulling butts from the ground

This girl that I know
I met her at a Sonic Youth show
(I like her style, she has got that [unverified])
This girl that I know
I met her at a Jodeci show
(She was looking good you know)
