  • (One, two, three, four)

    Well I'm a sea-sick sailor on a ship of noise
    I got my maps all backwards and my instincts poisoned
    In a truth-blown gutter full of wasted years
    Like blown-out speakers ringin' in my ears

    Oh, it's nausea, oh nausea, and we're gone
    It's nausea, oh nausea, and we're gone

    I'm a straight-line walker with a black-out room
    I push a shopping cart over in an Aztec ruin
    With my minion fingers working for some god
    Who could see his own reflection in a parking lot

    Oh, it's nausea, oh nausea, and we're gone
    It's nausea, oh nausea, and we're gone

    (Let's go! Yeah! Hey! Woo-hoo! Say huh! Yahoo! Right on! Woooo! Come on!)

    Now I'm a priest teenager on a tower of dust
    I'm a dead generator in a cloud of exhaust
    In a long-living desert with skulls for my pets
    I rate the days, one to ten, with lead cigarettes

    Oh, it's nausea, oh nausea, and we're gone
    Nausea, oh nausea, and we're gone Writer/s: BECK HANSEN

  • Matt from San Rafael, AntarticaI love the power in the acoustic guitar. I think that's what Beck was shooting for. At the 'climax' of the song I always get a rush of excitement. It's great for driving!
  • Cornflakes from Bfe, TnPossibly the worst track from "The Information" and, for me, definitely lives up to its title.
