    PLAYLIST TIME:

    Modesto

    by: Beck

    You came, you went
    My mind it got a dent
    I couldn't make my rent
    'cause all my cash was lent
    This town is filled
    With thousand-dollar-bills
    Laminated songs
    Contaminated lawns
    Well we eat 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
    I failed with the best
    And I stomped and I stormed
    And I passed out in your dorm
    Then you hustled me outside
    I couldn't catch a ride
    But the subway trains speak to me now
    I'm browsing through the supermarket town
    And the girls don't talk when I'm around
    And I'm feelin' bad even though nothing's wrong
    Chokin' on a breathmint
    That's cool
    Yeah, that's cool
    (........stuck out here in the sand, they shot my mule and burned my wagon--
