Some of the best lyrics he ever wrote. "Out in the mangroves, the mynah birds cry. In the shadows of sulfur, the trawlers drift by. They're chewing dried meat in a house of disrepute. The dust of opiates and syphilis patients on brochure vacations. Fear has a glare that traps you like searchlights. The puritans stare; their souls are fluorescent...." Awesome.
I love the instrumentals in this song! Mutations is an underrated album, indeed. If you can't make heads or tails of the lyrics remember that it's a Beck song, afterall. In most of his songs the lyrical content simply sets the tone, and you make of it what you want. That's the genius of Beck. It's music you use your imagination to.
To me this song has been like a surreal futuristic-or maybe timeless vision of some place or setting or ..almost like a mini sci-fi story in song form..

A life of confessions, written in the dust.
This song is about the freedom that people can achieve through interaction with horses. I heard Beck has a large stable.
I shall study this man's art to better my self worth in this, my final season upon earth.
Although I won't be able to hear it being played, I told my wife that I want Beck's "Lazy Flies" as my funeral song.
I don't understand why British magazine Q Magazine forgot to include Mutations in the 50 best albums of 1998 when I listen to this gem!
I love the line, "They're chewing dried meat in a house of disrepute."
