Sexx Laws -- Beck

Can't you hear those cavalry drums  Hijacking your equilibrium  Midnight snacks in the mausoleum
Where the pixilated doctors moan  Carnivores in the Cowloon night  Breathing freon by the candlelight
Coquettes bitch slap you so polite  Till you thank them for the tea and sympathy  I want to defy
The logic of all sex laws Let the handcuffs slip off your wrists   I'll let you be my chaperone
At the halfway home  I'm a full-grown man  But I'm not afraid to cry 

Neptune's lips taste like fermented wine  Perfumed blokes on the Ginza line  Running buck wild like a concubine  Whose mother never held her hand  Brief encounters in Mercedes Benz
Wearing hepatitis contact lens  Bed and breakfast getaway weekends  With Sports Illustrated moms
I want to defy  The logic of all sex laws  Let the handcuffs slip off your wrists
I'll let you be my chaperone  At the halfway home  I'm a full-grown man  But I'm not afraid to cry

I want to defy  The logic of all sex laws  Let the handcuffs slip off your wrists
I'll let you be my chaperone  At the halfway home  I'm a full-grown man  But I'm not afraid to cry

This song, as the title might imply, is about sex. Beck uses a lot of clever imagery for different aspects of sex, such as wearing hepatitis contact lens, for wearing a condom.

The chorus of "I want to defy the logic of our sexx laws," simply means to go against what you have been taught.

In the title, "Sexx" is spelt with two X's instead of the traditional one X. One theory on this is because two X's imply it is very filthy (as in x-rating). Another is that XX means two X-chromosomes, thus saying nothing is wrong with same-sex relationships, which would go along with "defying the logic of our sexx laws."
