Beck - Missing Lyrics
I prayed heaven today
Would bring its hammer down on me
And pound you out of my head
I can't think with you in it
Down a dirt road to find you
My shoes worn out and used
They can't take me much farther
Something always takes the place
Of missing pieces
You can take and put together even though
You know there's something missing
The sun burned a hole in my roof
I hope the rain doesn't come
And wash me down the gutter
She rides in a car like a queen on a card
And the guns of her mind aim a line
Straight at mine to a heart that was broke
Tried to feel but got choked in the smoke of a desert
A beach with no treasure
A night that's so blue
Feed the aching in you and the background
Birds take a flight from the earth
Where the bonfire burns and the night
Current turns on a lifeboat floating
Down a river of sleep
I can't see her hollow eyes
I'm walkin along with my boots full of rocks
I can't believe these tears were mine
I'll give them to you to put away in a box
Something always takes the place of
Missing pieces you can take and put
Together even though
You know there's something missing
Something always missing always
Someone missing something

Beck Missing Comments
I love Beck he knows just how I feel...
This man is beyond the word artistic.
Words cannot describe the beauty of his melodies lyrics.
I prayed heaven today
Would bring its hammer down on me
And pound you out of my head
I can't think with you in it
I dragged all that I owned
Down a dirt road to find you
My shoes worn out and used
They can't take me much farther
Something always takes the place
Of missing pieces
You can take and put together even though
You know there's something missing
The sun burned a hole in my roof
I can't seem to fix it
I hope the rain doesn't come
And wash me down the gutter
She rides in a car like a queen on a card
And the guns of her mind aim a line
Straight at mine to a heart that was broke
Tried to feel but got choked in the smoke of a desert
A beach with no treasure
A night that's so blue
Feed the aching in you and the background
Birds take a flight from the earth
Where the bonfire burns and the night
Current turns on a lifeboat floating
Down a river of sleep
I can't see her hollow eyes
I'm walkin along with my boots full of rocks
I can't believe these tears were mine
I'll give them to you to put away in a box
Something always takes the place of
Missing pieces you can take and put
Together even though
You know there's something missing
Something always missing always
Someone missing something
this would be a great little drum circle if you did it right ... and at night
Woah I forgot about this track😍😍😍
Dang I forgot about this song
It's güero.
2019 someone??
This song is such a hidden gym
Full genius on display here. Beck, Prince of my era.
Obra-,Prima musical.
the instrumentation and mixing of this song reminds me of Cirque du Soleil's Ovo OST
i wish i knew more songs like this :(
its like a foggy bossa nova
beck i luv u
Amazing album! My buddies and I enjoyed some fungi one summer night in VT years ago. Most excellent time and very memorable album.👍
Hey, this is good
Nice bossa nova beat to this.
Makes me think of the desert. I made sure to play the entire album when driving through it. <3
Love your content! You can watch my latest video, Gusto God, here youtube.com/watch?v=PC4Y7y6XtkY
Incredible track. Beck fans of old I have an observation you know you can usually tell where beck’s head is at by his style; I remember his fly poncho in the digibook for this album. His jacket in the girl video. Beck has been on autopilot in the same SLP range for so long now it’s rather indicative. Used to be a trend setter doing his own thing now he’s a follower looking dated in some high fashion label’s previous seasons. Bland mainstream fodder now anyway and somewhat past his exuberant youthful prime I guess... anyway memories like this.
Wow, what a fucking bitchy comment, lmao. Beck fuck your girlfriend or something? I was just thinking Beck's latest "Uneventful Days" had a similar awesome style to this great track so came back to check it out. Who gives a shit what the dude wears? hahaha
This song describes my life right about now.
I prayed heaven today
Would bring its hammer down on me
And pound you out of my head
I can't think with you in it
I dragged all that I owned down a dirt road
To find you my shoes worn out and used
They can't take me much farther
Something always takes the place
Of missing pieces
you can take and put together even though
You know there's something missing
The sun burned a hole in my roof
I can't seem to fix it
I hope the rain doesn't come
And wash me down the gutter
She rides in a car like a queen on a card
And the guns of her mind aim a line
Straight at mine to a heart that was broke
tried to feel but got choked in the smoke of
A desert
A beach with no leisure a night that's so blue
Feed the aching in you and the background
Birds take a flight from the earth
Where the bonfire burns and the night
Current turns on a lifeboat floating
Down a river of sleep
I can't see her hollow eyes
I'm walking along with my boots full of rocks
I can't believe these tears were mine
I'll give them to you to keep away in a box
Something always takes the place of
Missing pieces you can take and put
Together even though
You know there's something missing
Something always missing always
Someone missing something
Peter Houle thank you very much
I'll remember that night forever. December 23, was it? Basically I had a mental breakdown, and I was listening to this song.
It always gives me a distinct feeling of hopelessness and sadness. I love this song so much.
the real sponge bob but uplifting as well.
Lucky you weren´t listening Beyonce or the like. You wouldn´t have survived.
I had a mental breakdown also, but my song was “Milkshake” by Kelis. Haunts me to this day.

I hear "a beach with no treasure" not leisure
The Wood Notes ok mr complainey
its hard to find music that gives off this type of vibe
Its hard to find good pop music.
Cage the elephant gives cool feelings
King grizzard and the lizard wizard
..dude knows his gear for sure....
Agree. Anyone know any songs that do?
This song = Alan Zimmerman
Omg I love it
better version
This song has the same count as "Step in the Name of Love" by R. Kelly...
So yeah, I wanna Step to it!
Mash up?
This track would be, should be, at home on the album Sea Change.
Geek37 why put a good track on that album all by itself?
Danny Kyle
More just add it in with the rest of the tracks. The lyrics, the tone and the instrumentation strike me that way. The entire theme of Sea Change is one going through a tough break-up after such a long relationship and the lyrics in this song seem to mirror that theme. That's my opinion anyway.
I see where you're coming from, but this song is so groovy, I thought it would probably throw the whole album off balance.
Despite Tropicalia being on Mutations and working (somewhat), I don't think Missing would fit on Sea Change.
Sea Change definitely had a specific goal and direction with the music, whilst Mutations had basically whatever Beck wanted to put on it, which was mostly folky songs, but there was still lots of different genres going on.
reminds me of Sting
Kristen Philippo what?
Danny Kyle the way beck's voice sounds in this song reminds me of sting's voice.
great song, thanks for uploading this, hentairapemobile
What.. 😂
Yes, that's not a phrase you hear every day.
2 dislikes - "i will find you and i will kill you"
"I'm going to shower".
