Modesto (Beck cover)

from JakLocke.com (no album) (2000 April 19) (3:54)
You came, you went, my mind it got a dent
I couldn't make my rent cuz all my cash was lent
This town is filled with thousand-dollar bills
Laminated songs, contaminated lungs

Well I ate about fifteen times a day
Starin through a bag of Frito-Lay
And I play with the fire in the stove
When my eyes peel out and my fingertips get cold

Well it's real and it's fake and it's flamin like a steak
And she's puttin out my face with the rake
Oh honey you knew that you were my one and only blur

Unglued, depressed, the meatloaf in my chest
Personality test and I failed with the best
And I stomped and I stormed and I passed out in your dorm
You hustled me outside, I could not catch a ride

But the subway trains speak to me now
I'm browsing through this supermarket town
And the girls don't talk when I'm around
And I'm feelin bad even though nothing's wrong

Well I eat about fifteen times a day
Starin through a bag of Frito-Lay
And I play with the fire in the stove
And I'm feelin bad even though nothing's wrong

Chokin on a breathmint
