Inferno Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Ease yourself on down
And if you're bound and frowned
You better put it on down
'Cause 4 AM, gonna hit it again
Leaving dollar bills on the buffalo hills

[Verse 2]
The moon's eye is frozen shut
These vacant lanes unknown, uncut
Shredded up and sold for seed
Another tribute sent to a backwards breed
Hear those buzzards flap their heaps
Up above where the skies are cheap
For pioneers with chandeliers
Darkened arks in diamond ears
Through those rusty windows
Traffics shoot like venom static addicts
Causing us to fly like sticks
Fumes of flags and endless wicks

[Chorus]
Inferno
Inferno
Inferno

See Beck Live

Get tickets as low as $45

[Verse 3]
Habitrails of garbage pails
I search and strip my stale grails
And when it's time to strike the blues
I gotta let my jive and jack-ass fuse
This pollution is electrocution
Riffs and rags, no resolution
My wagon limps a miser's pace
On borrowed fuels of lice and lace
Hail to the mother man
Can't stand the soul can
Cold sweat, tiger tan
Sold my gold and left this land
Vaccination, cancellation
Tuning in to the two-bit station
Alkaline batteries shot
Summer's all tied in the hangman's knot

[Chorus]
Inferno
Inferno
Inferno

[Post-Chorus]
Inferno

About

This song bio is unreviewed

“Inferno” is one of the bonus songs included in the Deluxe reissue of Beck’s album Odelay. Inferno was first heard live in 1995, although this version of the song is much different from the eventually released version. For the Deluxe edition, “Inferno” had many samples either removed or re-recorded to eliminate any possible copyright issues. Fans theorize it to be made up of various Odelay outtakes combined into one song.
