Cancelled Check, lyric by Beck

from the songs album Mutations

I hate to do this, but you're a pain in the neck
I thought you knew this, you're handing me a canceled check
You're so helpless, your girlfriends think you're a saint
I'll give you a quarter, I'll keep my judgments to myself

And I get caught up in the moonlight
Reaching out for a rotten egg
I don't wanna beg
It's crystal clear, your time is nearly gone

Count your blessings and do the things that you should
Oh, the has-beens never had it so good
Stormy weather, the kids are makin' a racket
In the wilderness, the wild lives are so mild

And I get caught up in the moonlight
Reaching out for a rotten egg
I don't wanna beg
It's crystal clear, your time is nearly gone

And I get caught up in the moonlight
Reaching out for a rotten egg
I don't wanna beg
It's crystal clear, your time is nearly gone
