Beck - Strange Apparition

Lord, please don't forsake me 
In my Mercedes Benz 
All the riches and the ruins 
Now we all know how that story ends 

Strange apparition 
Haunting my brain 
Standing on the last legs 
Of a dream that walked away 

When the Lord rings my front door 
And asks me what've I got to show? 
Besides the dust in my pockets 
And the things that just eat away my soul 

Strange apparition 
Haunting my brain 
There's some cliches 
Of a dream that got cremated 

The least I had to lose from 
Is the most I seem to care 
Anything should make you happy 
Nothing could make you scared 

We'll be on the shoreline 
When that heavy ship goes down 
Did you think that you were lucky? 
You should see yourself now
