Lyrics:
Curfew [Version (a)]:

Put yourself on a river
Let it rush around you
Born along the curfew
It's not easy to disappear
You can't remember
Call out your number
They put you under
You cannot disappear

Curfew
Curfew
Shadow me
They'll feed upon you

She
She
She

Put yourself on a river
Let it rush around you
Born along the curfew
It's not easy to disappear

Curfew
Curfew
Shadow me
They'll be upon you

She
She
She
 
The Song:

In late 2010, Beck registered the copyright for a song with this title.

The song then appeared very briefly in the film, I Am Number Four. One of the lines seems to be "call out your number," so perhaps Beck wrote this to and for the movie?

The song was unavailable to hear in its entirety until 2017, when the full song was leaked out.

A long slightly-menacing bass and guitar jam lead things off, and then the song becomes fairly heavy, with some touches of shoegaze melodies. Beck's vocals float in and out, a bit difficult to decipher, buried in the mix. Beck seemed to have made a few things along these lines that were unreleased, like "Iron Horse," and some that were, like "Bad Blood." This one feels less bluesy than those, and is definitely a somewhat unique style in Beck's catalog.
