The eighth track of Beck’s 12th studio album, Morning Phase
Blackbird chain has some interesting, surf-rock like guitar in places and an overall, pretty groovy feel. It’s perhaps a shout out to the other band who wrote a song about a blackbird.
[Verse I]
Give me traces of your lifeblood flowing
In a loving cup
And tell me I'm dream dream dream dreaming
And I'll never wake up:
A keepsake in a dresser drawer
From who-knows-where
A symbol of your exegesis
And a full-length mirror
[Hook]
I'll never never never never never never refuse you
I'll never never never never never never refuse you
My blackbird chain
My blackbird chain
My blackbird chain
My blackbird
Chain
[Verse II]
An SOS from an outpost there
And a common air
Now I could read you a brief account
Of a last frontier
We could come to understand what's wrong
As right as rain
At rock bottom of a hollowed ground
Restake your claim
[Hook]
I'll never never never never never never refuse you
I'll never never never never never never refuse you
My blackbird chain
My blackbird chain
My blackbird chain
My blackbird
Chain
[Hook]
I'll never never never never never never refuse you
I'll never never never never never never refuse you
My blackbird chain
My blackbird chain
My blackbird chain
My blackbird
Chain
