Don t look, just keep your eyes peeled
Thoughtless, traipsing my minds field Shotgun, never behind the wheel anymore Danger, monsters of smoke & mirror Slowly, can one so lost be found? And I know you'll never believe I play this as though I m alright If life is but a dream, then Wake me up. Fallen leaves realize they are no friend of autumn The view from Hell is blue sky So ominously blue I daydream until all the blue is gone And I know you'll never believe I play this as though I m alright If life is but a dream Wake me. Underwater is another life Disregarding every myth we write Rag doll churning Eagerly alive (Over & over, gasping in horror So breathless you surface Just as the next wave is?) Big smile, really a show of teeth Without a care in a world of fear Lonely, you don t know how I feel Praise God, nothing is as it seems 02. I Sat By The Ocean Music by Queens of the Stone Age Lyrics by Josh Homme
I sat by the ocean & drank a potion to erase you.
Face down in the Boulevard, yet I couldn't face you. There ain't no use in crying. It doesn't change anything, So what good does it do? Your friends, they all sympathize. Maybe, I don't need them too. You. Me. & a lie. Silence is closer. We're passing ships in the night. There's nowhere to run away. Said, "boy if you want love, you'll have to go & find it with someone new." "do you know who you really are? are you sure it's really you?" Lies are a funny thing. They slip through your fingertips because they never happened to you. Time wounds all the heals. Then we fade out of view. You. Me. & a lie. Silence is closer. We're passing ships in the night. End to the night, left with nowhere to hide. Closer? & closer? We're crashing ships in the night 03. The Vampyre Of Time And Memory Music by Queens of the Stone Age Lyrics by Josh Homme
I want to God to come and take me home
'Cause I'm all alone in this crowd Who are you to me? Who am I supposed to be? Not exactly sure anymore Where's this going to? Can I follow through? Or just follow you For a while? Does anyone ever get this right? I feel no love Ain't no confusion here, it is as I feared The illusion that you feel is real To be vulnerable is needed most of all If you intend to truly fall apart You think the worst of all is far behind The Vampyre of time and memories has died I survived. I speak, I breathe, I'm incomplete I'm alive - hooray! You're wrong again 'Cause I feel no love Does anyone ever get this right? Does anyone ever get this right? I feel no love I feel no love 04. If I Had A Tail Music by Queens of the Stone Age Lyrics by Josh Homme
Gitchy, gitchy
Ooh la la Da doo ron ron You wont get far I'm machine I'm obsolete In the land of the free Lobotomy I wanna suck, I wanna lick I want to cry and I want to spit Tears of pleasure Tears of pain They trickle down your face the same It's how you look Not how you feel A city of glass With no heart... If I had a tail I'd own the night If I had a tail I'd swat the flies Yeah, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh Yeah, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh Gitchy, gitchy Ooh la la Da doo ron ron You won't get far Animals in the midnight zone When you own the world You're always home Get your hands dirty Roll up them sleeves Brainwashed or true believers? Buy flash cars Diamond rings Expensive holes to bury things I'm machine I'm obsolete In the land of the free Immortality If I had a tail I'd own the night If I had a tail I'd swat the flies Oh-oh-oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh Oh-oh-oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh See me dancing on the stars See me dance... If I have a tail I will control the night If I have a tail I will control the night If I have a tail I will control the night When we have a tail We will control... 05. My God Is The Sun Music by Queens of the Stone Age Lyrics by Josh Homme
Far beyond the desert road
Where everything ends up So good the empty space, mental erase Forgive, forgot Heal them, like fire from a gun Kneeling, my god is the Sun Heal them, with fire from above Kneeling, my god is the Sun I don't know what time it was I don't wear a watch So good to be an ant who crawls Atop a spinning rock (beyond...) Heal them, like fire from a gun Kneeling, my god is the Sun Heal them, with fire from above Kneeling, my god is the Sun Heal them, like fire from a gun Kneeling, my god is the Sun Healing, kneeling Godless heathens Godless heathens always waltz on the sky... 06. Kalopsia Music by Queens of the Stone Age Lyrics by Josh Homme, Alex Turner
I never lied
To myself Tonight Rose-tinted eyes Colour my sorrow A shade of why Bye bye black balloon See you real soon Wave bye bye Bye bye Why were you so sad? What have we done? Forget those blabber buffoons They're off playing gun Is it wonderful? 07. Fairweather Friends Music by Queens of the Stone Age and Mark Lanegan Lyrics by Josh Homme
Is there anyone out there?
Or am I walking alone? When I turned around and found that you'd gone before The first rain could fall It seems every single time I was bleeding Broken promises that never came true Well it ain't so long before the dawn When the sun is gone so are Well, so are you So what's it gonna take To get you back in bed? Gossip, drugs, and snakes They're just our best fairweather friends (fairweather Friends) Fairweather Friends (fairweather Friends) One day when we're far away From everything that hurts Drink and screw is all we'll do Every day So what's it gonna take To get you back in bed? Gossip, drugs, and snakes They're just our best fairweather friends (fairweather Friends) And though the hour's late Don't let 'em in your head (fairweather Friends) Gonna pray for rain again and again Fairweather Friends Fairweather Friends (fairweather Friends) Fair--I don't give a shit about 'em anyhow... 08. Smooth Sailing Music by Queens of the Stone Age Lyrics by Josh Homme
It's all in motion
No stoppin' now I've got nothin' to lose And only one way up I'm burning bridges I destroy the mirage Oh, visions of collisions Fuckin 'bon voyage It's all smooth sailing From here on out I got bruises and hickies Stitches and scars Got my own theme music It plays wherever I are Fear is the hand That pulls your strings A useless toy Pitiful plaything I'm inflagranti In every way It's all smooth sailing From here on out I'm gon' do the damage That needs gettin' done God only knows Where love vacations If reason is priceless There's no reason to pay for it It's so easy to see And so hard to find Make a mountain of a mole hill If the mole hill is mine I hypnotize you And no one can find you I blow my load Over the status quo Here we go I'm a little bit nonchalant But I dance I'm risking it always No second chance It's gonna be smooth sailing From here on out I'm gon' do the damage 'Til the damage is done God only knows So mind your behavior Follow prescriptions Of your lord and savior Every temple is gold Every hook is designed Hell is but the temple Of the closed mind Closed mind Closed mind Closed mind It's all smooth sailing From here on out Shut up... Pow! 09. I Appear Missing Music by Queens of the Stone Age Lyrics by Josh Homme
Calling all comas,
Prisoner on the loose. Description: A spitting image of me Except for the heart-shaped hole where the hope runs out Shock me awake Tear me apart Pinned like a note in a hospital gown Prison of sleep Deepened now A rabbit hole never to be found ...again Where are you hiding, my love? Cast off like a stone. Feelings Raw and exposed when I'm out of control Pieces were stolen from me But dare I say, given away Watching the water give in As I go down the drain I appear missing now I go missing, No longer exist One day I hope I'm someone you'd met Shock me awake Tear me apart Pinned like a note in a hospital gown Deeper I sleep Further down A rabbit hole never to be found It's only falling in love Because you hit the ground 10. ?Like Clockwork Music by Josh Homme, James Lavelle, Charlie May Lyrics by Josh Homme
Everyone it seems
Has somewhere to go And the faster the world spins But shorter the lights will glow And I'm swimming in the night Chasing down the moon The deeper in the water The more I long for you Most of what you see my dear Is purely for sure Because Not everything that goes around Comes back around, you know Holding on too long is just A fear of letting go Because Not everything that goes around Comes back around, you know One thing that is clear It's all down hill From here The love line in your hand Cleverly disguised All the promises of stone Crumble in the night Most of what you see my dear Is worth letting go Because Not everything that goes around Comes back around, you know Holding on too long is just A fear of what's to show Because Not everything that goes around Comes back around, you know Not everything that goes around Comes back around, you know One thing that is clear It's all down hill From here |
