간만에 Beck빠 정체성을 찾기 위한 포스팅.

비정규 앨범인 Mutations에서 가장 좋아하는 노래입니다.
물론 이 앨범에 이 노래 말고 Cold Brains, Nobody's Fault But My Own, Lazy Flies, We Live Again 등 좋은 노래들이 많지만 이상하게도 나중에 MP3 재생횟수를 보면 이 Tropicalia가 최다 재생상의 영광을 차지하고 있더군요.

Tropicalia

Written by: Beck Hansen

When they beat upon a broken guitar
And on the streets, they reek of tropical charms
The embassies lie in hideous shards
Where tourists snore and decay

When they dance in a reptile blaze
You wear a mask, an equatorial haze
Into the past, a colonial maze
Where there's no more confetti to throw
You wouldn't know what to say to yourself
Love is a poverty you couldn't sell
Misery waits in vague hotels to be evicted

You're out of luck, you're singing funeral songs
To the studs, they're anabolic and bronze
They seem to strut in their millenial fogs
Until they fall down and deflate
You wouldn't know what to say to yourself
Love is a poverty you couldn't sell
Misery waits in vague hotels to be evicted

Oh now you've had your fun under an air-conditioned sun
It's burned into your eyes, leaves you plain and left behind
I see them rise and fall into the jaws of a pestilent love
You wouldn't know what to say to yourself
Love is a poverty you couldn't sell
Misery waits in vague hotels to be a victim
