Beck - Hyperspace Album Lyrics

Faster
Farther
Longer
Harder
I just wanna grow and grow
UV light and crushing life
Wanna feel more and more
With you
With you
With you
With you

Uneventful days, uneventful nights
Living in that dark, waiting for the light
Caught up in these neverending battle lines
Everything has changed and nothing it feels right

I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know it's gone
I know, I know, I know it's gone
Ooh yeah

Neverending days, neverending nights
Everything I say, I know I can't get right
It means definitely more to me than life
You might know my name, you don't know my mind

I don't even know what's wrong (the days without you)
Ever since you've been gone
Only ten minutes to go (leave me cold and alone)
I don't even know how
Everything that we're told
Found my way without you (no no no)
I know where we belong
(I don't wanna hurt you, I don't wanna hurt you)
Gonna leave me al-

Uneventful days, uneventful nights
Living in that dark, waiting for the light
Nothing you could say could make it come to light
I don't have a way to make you change your mind

I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know it's gone
I know, I know, I know
It's gone
Yeah

Neverending days, neverending nights
Time is moving slow, I don't even mind
It means definitely more to me than life
Got nowhere to go, got nowhere to fight

Heaven's outta work now
Money getting thin now, meanwhile
Had another round up dream now
Nothing but a low down, let down
Why don't I get down, left down
What am I really down here for
Been in and out of love all night

Neverending days, neverending nights
Everything I do, you know I don't do right
I've been waiting around all night
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo



There was a day I saw lightning

There was a day I saw lightning (I saw lightning)

Hey hey hey, saw lightning

Ho ho ho, saw lightning

He he he, saw lightning

Ha ha ha



Saw windy manes

Saw mountains fall

Saw temples burn

Prison walls

Saw floods coming

Saw children run

We got no more shelter, no more sun



Then it came to me in a flash of light

By the sycamore tree in the dead of night

The bottom bell and the longest day

The hardest wind and the fallen rain

Saw lightning, saw lightning, saw lightning

I held my head up

And it struck me down

Down to the ground

It struck me down, struck me down

Struck me down to the ground



There was a day I saw lightning

There was a day I saw lightning

Hey hey hey, saw lightning

Ho ho ho, saw lightning

He he he, saw lightning

Ha ha ha



When they're named, I wonder where it go

Hold the sea, where it's sunny where I grow

One more day then daily I know

High, need trees, when it's sunny and go

More than fee, by money, I know

Pull me in, gotta start down low

Don't gotta sing, with weather I go

Partner we go



Then it came to me in a flash of light

By the sycamore tree in the dead of night

The bottom bell and the longest day

The hardest wind and the fallen rain

Saw lightning, saw lightning, saw lightning

I held my head up

And it struck me down

Down to the ground

It struck me down, struck me down

Struck me down on the ground



Hey hey hey, saw lightning

Ho ho ho, saw lightning

He he he, saw lightning

Ha ha ha, saw lightning

Saw lightning, saw lightning, saw lightning



Lord, won't you take me and lead me to the light?

Lord, won't you take me and lead me to the light?

The Lord's gonna take me and leave me in the light

The Lord's gonna take me and leave me in the light



Then it came to me in a flash of light

By the sycamore tree in the dead of night

The bottom bell and the longest day

The hardest wind or in the fallen rain

I saw lightning, saw lightning, saw lightning

I held my head up

And it struck me down

Down to the ground

It struck me down, struck me down

Struck me down on the ground



I saw lightning

I saw lightning

I saw lightning

I saw lightning

When the sky fades out and the roads all end
I'm gonna wait on you, gonna wait on you
When the money runs out and the walls close in
I'm gonna wait on you, gonna wait on you

I don't care what I have to do
Know that I'm gonna wait on you
I don't care what I have to do
Know that I'm gonna wait on you

Coming off the feeling
Got my body reeling
Really coming off the ceiling
All my memories got me kneeling
Almost got a real thing
Almost got a new leaf
Ducking down at the new wave
Something that you're going through it

I don't care what I have to do
Know that I'm gonna wait on you
I don't care what I have to do
Know that I'm gonna wait on you

Yeah woah, yeah woah

When the sky fades out and the roads all end
I'm gonna wait on you, gonna wait on you
When the money runs out and the walls close in
I'm gonna wait on you

I can't understand why I've waited for so long
Just to walk out of the door, see the world moving on
And I lay down in the sun with the moonlight in my eyes
If it takes a lifetime, then you know I got shine, oh yeah

I don't care what I have to do
Know that I'm gonna wait on you
I don't care what I have to do
Know that I'm gonna wait on you
I don't care what I have to do
Know that I'm gonna wait on you
I don't care what I have to do
Know that I'm gonna wait on you

You say that love is a chemical
Feel it down to the soul
Well, well, we-well, well, well
What I really, really want to know
Is if my mind's in control
Well, well, we-well, well, well

I'm so high
Love is a chemical
I'm so high
Love is a chemical
Start it
Start it again

A random thought
A memory
A tidal wave
We met until I'm on my knees
A sudden change in everything
Don't know when I was leaving
Feeling well and free
You find love just a fantasy
Beautiful and ugly as a life can be
I don't lose any sleep honestly
Well, well, we-well, well, well

I'm so high
Love is a chemical
I'm so high
Love is a chemical
Start it
Start it again

Well, well, we-well, well, well
Well, well, we-well, well, well
I can feel it minute by minute by day
I don't want it running all night this way
Why you got to get it on my mind this way?
Well, well, we-well, well, well

Saying what I feel
What can I tell you? Don't know
Why you have to be like that?
Alligator teardrops fall
Love is a love is a chemical
Burning wears off like a chemical
I don't need anyone to turn me on
I don't need anyone, no

And when the feeling is over
There's no explanation
Shock to the system
Infatuation
Shake like a flower
Strange affirmation
Crown of illusion
Start it
Start it again

Saying what I feel (I'm so high)
What can I tell you? Don't know
Why you have to be like that? (Love is a chemical)
Alligator teardrops fall
Well, well, we-well, well, well
Love is a love is a chemical (I'm so high)
Burning wears off like it never could
I don't need anyone to turn me on (Love is a chemical)
I don't need anyone no
Start it again

Summertime nights
I'm gonna run to meet you
Coming out of my life
You know I'm trying to reach you
Coming out of the sun
You know I'm bound to meet you
Coming out of my mind
You know I'm dying to reach you

I can see through
I can see through
I can see through you now
I can see through
I can see through
I can see right through you now

See through
You and I can always see through
See through
You can see how much I need you
See through
See how much I really need you
See through
See how much I really need you
I'm gonna need you all night now
I think I'm gonna need you all right now

Summertime nights
I'm gonna run to meet you
Coming out of my life
You know I'm trying to reach you
I feel so ugly when you see through me

See through
You and I can always see through
See through
You can see how much I need you
See through
See how much I really need you
See through
See how much I really need you

Coming down now I need you
Coming down, gonna need you
Someone's angling to get through
When it's dark I don't see you
Coming down now I need you
Come and see what I'm going through
Now I need you, you need me
I'm running that feeling

Summertime nights
I'm gonna run to meet you
Going out of my mind
You know I'm dying to reach you
Woah

Something from nothing
Something from nothing
You want something from nothing
But I got nothing left to give

See through
You and I can always see through
See through
You can see how much I need you
I think I'm gonna need you all right now
See through
See how much I really need you
I think I'm gonna need you all right now
See through
See how much I really need you

Oh
Hey yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah

I feel so ugly when you see through me
I feel so ugly when you see through me

Faster
Farther
Longer
Harder
I just wanna grow and grow
Beauty, light and crushing life
Wanna feel more and more
In hyperspace, electric life is in my brain
In hyperspace and all my nights and all my days
With you
With you

My life is hyperspace
Summer days
Out of phase
From the praise
Gamma rays
Touching base
Just in case
Tidal waves
Fueling hate
Time it takes
Overlaid
Ventilated
Take your pay
Celebrated
Let your mind disintegrate

What's going on?
I'm concentrating
Where you at?
I'm navigating
Moons a form it's all resonating
No-one can articulating
Infrastructure all outdated
This could all be a simulation
Doesn't need to be intimidated
We don't know if it's contaminated

In hyperspace and all my nights and all my days
With you
With you
With you
With you

Turn me around
Vision goes with the sun
Far above the ground
Halfway to oblivion

In the stratosphere
There's nowhere to go from here
In the stratosphere
I'll be back home another year

High as the moon
Earth below to comfort me
Needle to the spoon
Strike a match and let it be

In the stratosphere
There's nowhere to go from here
In the stratosphere
Somewhere I can disappear

In the stratosphere
There's nowhere to go from here
In the stratosphere
Be back home another year

Time moves on and on and love, it goes
Now she's gone and all I see is shadows

It's two in the morning
I'm so in the moment
It's two in the morning
I'm so in the moment, oh yeah

Some days I go dark places on my own
Some days I go dark places in my soul

Come and see me
Do you need me?
Hiding deeply
In the feeling
Been so lonely
So unholy
Make me feel free
Come and let me down slow

There's a place in this world
For you and I, you and I, you and I
Hold your head up, golden girl
With you and I, you and I
Until the day we die

On and on, and on, and on, and on
On and on, and on, and on, and on
On and on, and on, and on, and on
It's you and I, and you and I
On and on, and on, and on, and on
On and on, and on, and on, and on
On and on, and on, and on, and on
It's you and I, and you and I
On and on, and on, and on, and on
On and on, and on, and on, and on

One, two
One, two

A disappointment condition, a perfunctory prescription
Of an indigent mindset of belligerent silence
We got all we need droning out of a tin can
Thinking about the rain under the sweatshirt hood
Listen to the noise on the battery tape deck
A Judas train wreck, anonymous suspect
Hovering in carbon monoxide cremations
Loners waste away inside of vacant locations
Think tanks empty, international dream bank
Plug in my reactor to the fallout zone
The enemies' story is a lot like mine
And if you get to the point then you know better than I

Dark star like an eye that's closing
Sees through the shards from a scar that's open

Autopilot drivers riding out on the ice age
Infidels swallowed in a vanishing point
Ammunition souls shooting holes in the ozone
Widow's tears washing the soldier's bones
Sterilized egos delirium sequels
Punctured by the arrows of American eagles
Robot to teach you all the rules that delete you
Backspace my brain, my equilibrium guns

Dark star, just an eye that is closing
Sees through the shards from a scar that's open

One, two
One, two
You know what to do

You threw the keys to the kingdom
Over a skyscraper wall
Sowing seeds somewhere obsolete
In the everlasting nothing

It's been a long night in the slipstream
I thought I'd crash and burn if I came down
When I did I found a friend to take me home
In the everlasting nothing

Friends I've known come and go
Like a soldier with no song
Still I try to get back home
In the everlasting nothing

I woke up in a movie
Didn't know if it was my whole life
When it ended I laughed before I cried
In the everlasting nothing

And I washed up on the shoreline
Everyone was waiting there for me
Like a standing ovation for the funeral of the sun
In the everlasting nothing

Friends I've known come and go
Like a soldier with no song
Still I try to get back home
In the everlasting nothing

Nowhere child
Keep on running
Nowhere child
Keep on running
In your time you'll find something
In the everlasting nothing

Nowhere child
Keep on running
Nowhere child
Keep on running
In your time you'll find something
In the everlasting nothing

Nowhere child
Keep on running
Nowhere child
Keep on running
In your time you'll find something
In the everlasting nothing
