Beck, Derelict Print E-mail

I dropped my anchor in the dead of night
I packed my suitcase and threw it away

Isn't a suitcase very unpractical aboard a ship, or is that the reason he threw it away?

I fell asleep in the funeral fire
I gave my clothes to the police man

Blow back derelict wind, lay my soul in the foul of the air
Blow back derelict wind, lay my soul in the foul of the air

Shooting venom at the passers-by
Hijackers tie the heavens down
I put my eyes in a paper bag
I'm spinning round like a gambling wheel

Blow back derelict wind, lay my soul in the foul of the air

By the way, the word derelict can also refer to an abandoned ship … which is probably why he tossed the suitcase anyway.

Blow back derelict wind, lay my soul in the foul of the air

I dropped my anchor in the dead of night
I packed my suitcase and threw it away
I fell asleep in the funeral fire
I gave my clothes to the police man

Blow back derelict wind, lay my soul in the foul of the air
Blow back derelict wind, lay my soul in the foul of the air

“Derelict” was written by Beck, John King .& Michael Simpson
