Brother Lyrics by Beck

Odelay (Deluxe Edition)

1996

[Verse 1]
Brother, are you really here?
The package I received is gone
Are you a phantom detective?
Can you read my soul backwards?
I would glide with you
If you are a backwards ghost
I will hire you

[Verse 2]
Brother, are you really home?
Holy as a blessed worm
A paradise ambassador
Bring me to your room
I will throw you rocks today
Watch them pass right through, you'll say
This is not a game or test
We both have done some grieving

[Verse 3]
Brother, with your vast reward
Treasury you can't afford
Surgeries and innocence abounds
And I have read in paper books
My eyes are glands on twisted hooks
Never have I felt or looked
So sorry for you now

[Verse 4]
Brother, are you trained to spy?
One eye open, one eye dry
When I die will you be my neighbor?
Tell me things I like to know
Dressing up from head to toe
Let them know to and fro
From here and tomorrow

[Refrain]
Brother, are you really here?
The message I received is gone
Are you a phantom detective?
Can you read my soul backwards?
I would glide with you
If you are a backwards ghost
I will hire you
