Lyrics:.000.000 [Version (a)]:
???
Pixel in the line
Comin' at you
All the way
Pixel in the light
All the way
Pixel in the light
Gettin' rich there
All the way
Pixel in the light
I see across the floor
I dreamed of silver shoes
My body plastic light
My shephard silver ring
My city ?? cloak
My ?? when she smokes
My Asian paper cloud
My shadow captain's tome
My chipper voice is gust
My serpent has a nurse
My serpent has a nurse
My serpent has a nurse
All the way
Pixel in the light
Comin' next year
All the way
Pixel in the light
My convalescent kiss
My barely modest torch
My pricks and belly wounds
My operation groans
My yellow Alamos
My new pollution clothes
I never spot the blood
My bully captain hud
My temple house is bust
My serpent has a nurse
My serpent has a nurse
My serpent has a nurse
The Song:One of the more mysterious tracks in Beck's catalog, ".000.000" is a difficult, intriguing recording. The song was recorded as b-side for "Devils Haircut," in the Beastie Boys studio.
I have a feeling that the indecipherability of the lyrics are part of the art of the song, however, and we'll never know for certain what the words are. Rolling Stone magazine wrote in 2008 that Beck "isn't sure how one would pronounce the song's title, and can't even decipher the words anymore."
Beck added, "There were definitely lyrics and they were very meaningful. I think."
So no, I have no idea if ANY of my lyrics are correct. I used an "inverted" mix, which drops out a channel, to highlight the vocals better; it helped on a couple of lines maybe.
