One Thousand 20th Century Chairs

Moving house
Moving out of the biggest disaster
Time to move on now
Move up to China town

China town
On the 29th floor of a building
Looking up cos I'm
Trying not to look straight down

The 13th arrondissement
Sitting by the window
Thinking how I love this town

I confess that I stole your book of a thousand chairs
Tore it up, watched the pages fluttering through the air
How satisfying it feels
To tear a thousand chairs
One thousand 20th century chairs

I'm playing Beck
Cos the architect I used to live with
Never let me dance
When I put on Odelay

Odelay
I'm alone, I'm insane but I'm happy
You collected me
But I got away

How satisfying to tear
And scatter though the air
One thousand 20th century chairs

My favourite chairs
Are the ones in 'Zabriske Point'
Exploding in slow motion
Shootin' up to the sky
Coming down to earth
Coming down to earth
Coming down to earth
Coming down
