Queens of The Stone Age

First topic message reminder :

"Turnin' On The Screw"

You got a question? Please don't ask it,
It puts the lotion in the basket,
You say bigger's better but bigger's thicker,
White boy dressed up like a figure,
Drawn inside a toilet on the wall,
The world is round,
My square don't fit at all,

They say those who can't just instruct others,
And act like victims or jilted lovers,
You can't lose it if you never had it,
Disappear man, Do some magic,
You want a reason? How's about "Because"?
You ain't a has been if you never was.

I sound like this,
Scared to say what is your passion,
So slag it all,
Bitter's in fashion,
Fear of failure's all you've started,
The jury is in, verdict:
Retarded,
I'm so tired, I'm wired too,
I'm a mess,
I guess,
I'm turning on the screw.

"Skin On Skin"

From the moment you said "why haven't you kissed me yet?"
I knew I'd wipe that paint from your lips
I stare the lids off your eyes, gone down on your dirty mind
& end up between your hips
Handfuls of sweat tangled hair, anytime, anywhere
I wanna lick you too much baby
I just play all alone, whispering for your moan
Forced to crawl down this line, just to touch

I can get in
I can't get out
I'm just sweating my sheets
I hate to see you leave, but I love to watch you go baby
Twisted secret lives, the way you bat your eyes
Givin' head, givin' head, givin' head

Watch you come from above
I'm so needy for love, I'm desperate,
Greedy in slavery
I sneak around from behind
I got a one track mind
We got a skin on skin thing baby
I wanna lick you too much
I hear you comin', ooh, aaaah, baby

You Think I Ain't Worth A Dollar, But I Feel Like A Millionaire


Dead bull with the life from the low
I’ll be massive conquistador
Give me soul and show me the door
Metal heavy, soft at the core
Gimme toro, gimme some more

Pressurize, neutralize
Deep fried, gimme some more

Space flunky, four on the floor
Fortified with the liqour store
This one's down, gimme some more
Gimme toro, gimme some more

Shrunken head I love to adore
B-movie, gimme some gore
Gimme toro, gimme some more
B-movie, gimme some gore

Gimme toro, gimme some more

No One Knows

We get some rules to follow
That and this
These and those
No one knows

We get these pills to swallow
How they stick
In your throat
Taste like gold

Oh, what you do to me
No one knows

And I realize you're mine
Indeed a fool am I
And I realize you're mine
Indeed a fool am I
Ahh

I journey through the desert
Of the mind
With no hope
I follow

I drift along the ocean
Dead lifeboats
in the sun
they come undone

Pleasently caving in
I come undone

And I realize you're mine
Indeed a fool am I
And I realize you're mine
Indeed a fool am I
Ahhh

Heaven smiles above me
What a gift here below
But no one knows

The Gift that you give to me
No one knows

First It Giveth

I'm in you
You're in me
I can't tell

You're so cruel
More than me
It is true
That's right

Loyal to
Only you
Up your sleeve

I want some (come on, take it)
of all of you (it's yours)
Trickin me

First it giveth
Then it taketh away [x4]

I would beg
I would plead
I would shake

On a hook
Dangling
By the way

I'm so young
And beautiful
(That's right)
(I'm slick)
I'm no fool

Time goes by
Tables turn
Now I know

First it giveth
Then it taketh away [x6]
awaaaaaaayyyyyy, awaaaaaaaaayyyyy, oh

A Song For The Dead

It's late enough to go drivin
And see what's mine
Life's a study of dyin'
How to do it right
You're a holy roller
Keep your belly loose
If you're hangin' around
I'm holdin' the noose

Come a little bit closer
And get on tight
In a hearse rollin over
Just a track in the line
Fuck it

Come on, let's go drivin
Come on, let's take a little ride
Life's the study of dyin'
How to do it right

The Sky Is Fallin'

The sky is falling
Human race that we run
Has left me crawling
Staring straight at the sun
All in a moment I notice
Every dog has his day
I paid attention
Cost me so much today

For so long
I saw only wrong
But now to remind
It's a waste of time

Close your eyes and see the skies are falling

I wanted something
Nothing blank I don't know
It's all deflecting
Stones are easy to throw
All in a moment I notice
Hours, days left behind
Of wasted, useless
Selfless, none of a kind

For so long
I saw only wrong
But now to remind
Not to go back to the low
That has drained my life so long
That has drained my life so long
That has drained my life so long

Close your eyes and see the skies are falling

Six Shooter

Two Glass eyes,
Ill fuckin tell you lies.
Im on the side of the road,
You're gonna fuckin' die
Yeah
Yeah

Shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot, Pow! (repeat)

Fuck this world,
fuck you too.
Ill fuckin' kill your best friend.
What you fuckin' gonna do?

Shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot, Pow! (repeat)

Hangin' Tree

Would you like our way home
I bleed my own

Round the hangin tree
Swayin in the breeze
In the summer sun
As we two are one
Swayin

Can you see under my thumb
There you are

Round the hangin tree
Swaying in the breeze
In the summer sun
As we two are one
Swaying

Go With The Flow

She said "i'll throw myself away,
They're just photos after all"
I can't make you hang around.
I can't wash you off my skin.
Outside the frame, is what we're leaving out
You won't remember anyway
I can go with the flow
Don't say it doesn't matter (with the flow) matter anymore
I can go with the flow (I can go)
Do you believe it in your head?
It's so safe to play along
Little soldiers in a row
Falling in and out of love
Something sweet to throw away.
I want something good to die for
To make it beautiful to live.
I want a new mistake, lose is more than hesitate.
Do you believe it in your head?
I can go with the flow
Don't say it doesn't matter (with the flow) matter anymore
I can go with the flow (I can go)
Do you believe it in your head? X3

Gonna Leave You

Wait by the phone
Late all alone
He can't help you
But I know I could

Three years too long
You know this is wrong
Everything scars the skin
Push it in, break it off

I'm gonna leave
I'm gonna leave you

I gave it a start
I stomped on your heart
This the is the end,
No more pictures, we ain't friends
It's raining in my room
There's blood in my spoon
You're out of my highchair
I'm out of your womb

I'm gonna leave
I'm gonna leave you

Three years too long
You know this is wrong
Everything scars the skin
Push it in, push it in, break it off

I'm gonna leave
Gonna leave you

I'm gonna leave
I don't need you

Do It Again

I fall over and over and over over over on you
I get in, I get in, I get in, you're the only one I'm into
You and me
Fit so tight
I go lower and lower and lower lower living easy
I don't know how long I got till it's over
You and me
Fit so tight

Can you do it again
Do it again
Do it again
Can you do it again

All the way, all the way, all the way, there's nowhere left we can be
I'm into what you do but I leave you nowhere
You and me
Fit so tight
All we need
Is one more time

Can you do it again
Do it again
Do it again
Can you do it again

I only get to live one life
I won't pretend you're only mine
Where will you go, when we all fall away

So do it again
Do it again

God Is In The Radio

I thought I saw him on the video
The trance is keeping him under
I know that god is in the radio
Checkin the station
The narcotic from me to you
Just a caught in the medium
I know you hear it, I hear it too
It's everywhere that I go

You come back another day
And do no wrong

They say the devil is paranoid
Always runnin for cover
But god is leakin through the stereo
Between the station to station
You believe it, I know you do
You won't admit it or say so
I know that god is in the radio
Just repeating a slogan

You come back another day
And do no wrong

Another Love Song

You're so impossible
Scream and moan it chills my soul
Don't wanna hear you got left behind
All those times you stayed up and cried
It's no lie
You did it to yourself
Like chewed up gum under my shelf
Don't look surprised
You must have know all along

It's just another love song
Another love song

It's never easy
It's not hard
When you've lost your mind
With you it's sleezy
Don't tell me your worries
I'm sick, I'll leave you blind
Now the time has come
To leave this love that's left you dry
No need to work this out now
Cause you know there's no reason why

It's just another love song
Another love song

I never told you it would last forever
You can't hold this boy for long, dig it
By the time you read my letter
Baby, I'll be gone

You're just another love song
Another love song

A Song For The Deaf

Song for the Deaf
VS1:
Nobody's comin' down the hall
Nobody echoes in my head
Broken reflection outta luck
Nobody ever needed it

CH:
I got what was
I want to take what's left
I'm ready now

VS2:
Beautiful senses are gone
Canary in a gilded cage
Singing…

Sweet soft and low
I will poison you all
Come closer racing to your tongue

CH2:
I got what was, I want to take what's left
No talk will cure, what's lost or
Save what's left, for the Deaf


Bridge:
The blind can go get fucked
Lie beside the ditch
This halo round my neck
Has undone every stitch

VS3:
Who are you hidin'? Is it safe for the deaf?
Beautiful, cancer, infiltrate, and forget
I saw you comin' I heard not a thing
A mistake not to listen when I knew
Where you'd been

CH2:
I got what was, I want to take what's left
No talk will cure, what's lost or
Save what's left, for the Deaf

Mosquito Song

I Know, I know the sun is hot
Mosquitoes come to suck your blood
Leave you there all alone
Just skin and bone
When you walk among the trees
Listening to the leaves
The further I go the less I know
The less I know

Where will you run?
Where will you hide?
Lullabies to paralyze

Fat and soft, pink and weak
Foot and thigh, tongue and cheek
You know I'm told to swallow you whole
Skin and bone
Cutting boards and hanging hooks
Bloody knives, cooking books
Promising you won't feel a thing
at all

Swallow and chew
Eat you alive
All of us food , that hasn't died
And the life says

Simmering pick and pluck
Tenderize bone to dust
The sweetest grease, finest meat you'll ever taste
(Taste, taste)
So you scream, whine, and yell
Supple sounds of dinner bell
We all will feed the worms and trees So don't be shy

Swallow and chew
Eat you alive
All of us food, that hasn't died

"The Lost Art of Keeping a Secret"

I've got a secret, I cannot say
Blame all the movement to give it away
You've got somethin, I understand
Holding it tightly, caught on command
Leap of faith, do you doubt?
Cut you in, I just cut you out

[chorus:]
Whatever you do
Don't tell anyone
Whatever you do
Don't tell anyone

Look for reflections, in your face
Canine devotion, time can't erase
Out on the corner, locked in your room
I never believe them and I never assume
Still can't believe there is a lie
Promise is promise, an eye for an eye
We've got something to reveal
No one can know how we feel

[repeat chorus 2x]

I think you already know
How far I'd go not to say
You know the art isn't gone
And I'm taking my song to the grave

[repeat chorus]

"Leg Of Lamb"

You're a head case, with a smile
Can't stop to make up your mind
Education is so lame (so lame), when you bitch and you moan
You're a loose girl, I'm a guy (hey)
You're a truth freak with a lie
This situation is so strange, it's a TV show

In a hotel, on the phone
You're gonna leave me, I should've known (I should've known)
And I was thinking, it's so sad
I didn't want you to go.

Don't wanna follow the laws of man, (yes, sir)
Bloody apron, leg of lamb
It's so hard to win, when there's so much to lose

Infiltrate the walls that are caving in
It ain't a bad thing,
This ain't reality

Infiltrate the walls that are caving in
It ain't a bad thing
Because it is natural

Second Avenue, raising Cain
I'm a sinner, ring my bell (ring my bell)
I'll tell you what
I'd get up, if I knew why I fell

"Auto Pilot"

Silent hell on the marble slab
The best trip that I've ever had
Higher than a jet plane, pass it around
My drinks on empty, need another round

[chorus:]
I wanna fly, wanna ride with you
Is this the best that you can do?
I wanna fly, wanna ride with you
Higher than a jet plane with you

Will we arrive in the middle of nowhere
Don't act like you know, I been here so many times
I never seen you before
But now that I have, I don't wanna see you no more

Higher than a jet plane with you
Higher than a jet plane with you

[repeat chorus]

Ah-ah, auto pilot no control
Ah-ah, ahh
Ah-ah, auto pilot no control
Ah-ah, ahh

Higher than a jet plane with you
Higher than a jet plane with you

[repeat chorus]

"Better Living Through Chemistry"

The blue pill opens your eyes
Is there a better way?
A new religion prescribed
To those without the faith
A hero holding a knife
And blood is not enough
Is it too late to go back?
Is it too late to go?

There's no one here (there's no one here)
And people everywhere (people everywhere)
You're on your own

Let's see if I'm hearing this right
You suggest I should take
A never-ending story
To carry out the day
Your idols burn in the fire
The mob comes crawling up
I'm reclaiming my mind
Destroying everyone

There's no one here (there's no one here)
And people everywhere (people everywhere)
You're all alone

"Quick and to the Pointless"

[All * are lyrics sung in Dutch]

[Spoken:]
I don't even know what I'm doing here
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

A little girl walking down the street
Godverdomme*, you gotta be with me
Well I know, you know
Everybody everyone let's go

Oh, baby, baby, you're so sweet
Ah, ah, wooo

Het leven is hard, de mensen worden bang**
I'm so old, you're so young
I know, you know
Everybody everyone let's go

Oh, baby, baby, you're so sweet
Goddamn, ah, ah, whoa

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Ik denk van ja, maar nee***
Little girl, listen what I say
You know, I know
Everybody everyone let's go

Oh, baby, baby, you're so sweet
Whoooo
Ah, baby, baby, you're so sweet
Goddamn, ah, ah, whoa!

[* Goddamn]
[** Life is hard, people are getting scared]
[*** I'm thinking "yes", but no]

"Monsters In The Parasol"

The walls are closing in again, oh well
The walls are closing in again, oh well
I seen some thing I thought I never saw
Covered in hair (hair)
Paul's dad is warped and bubbling, oh well
Paul's dad is warped and bubbling, oh well
And my mind is out here on another wave
Covered in hair (hair)

She won't grow

[chorus:]
You've got a monster (distress) in your parasol (why, yes)
You've got a monster (divorce) in your parasol (of course)
You've got a monster (displeasure) in your parasol (my treasure)
You've got a monster (your pain) in your parasol (drives me insane)
Paul's sister is an alien, oh well

Paul's sister is an alien, oh well
I seen some things I thought I never saw
Covered in hair (hair)

She won't grow

You've got a monster (distress) in your parasol
You've got a monster (divorce) in your parasol (of course)
You've got a monster (displeasure) in your parasol (my treasure)
You've got a hole (your pain) in you I never saw (drives me insane)
In your parasol, in your parasol (insane)

"In The Fade"

Cracks in the ceiling, crooked pictures in the heart
Countin and breathin, I'm leaving here tomorrow
They don't know, I'd never do you any good
Laughin is easy, I would if I could

[chorus:]
Ain't gonna worry
Just live till you die, wanna drown
With nowhere to fall into the arms of someone
There's nothing to save I know
You live till you die

[chorus:]
Live till you die, I know

Loosing a feelin', that I couldn't give away
Countin and breathin, disappearin in the fade
They don't know, I'd never do you any good
Stoppin and stayin, I would if I could

[chorus:]
Ain't gonna worry
Just live till you die, wanna drown
With nowhere to fall into the arms of someone
There's nothing to save I know
You live till you die

[repeat chorus]

"I Think I Lost My Headache"

You know why
They called and just let it ring
No reply
The door is open I swear
Ain't no use in picking up
You know why

[chorus:]
It's all my head I know
So they tell me so
Until my head explodes
Into my head it goes

Tastes so good
Oh, but I knew it would
Tastes so good
Burn like a match house
Medicate just to make you soft
Love is blind

Catch and release me
What the hell were they thinking of
You know why

[repeat chorus]

"Tension Head"

Every day I wake up feelin' this way
I take it downtown, with all the action goin' down
I strike a match, strike a match, cook it up!

(High life) I'm feelin' so sick
(Low life) I feel so fuckin' sick

On the bathroom floor
Gotta get out and get right
Hustlin' little girls
Machine, little boys

Gotta get out
Gotta get out and get right
I gotta get out
No more! [3x]

(My life) I'm feelin' so sick on the bathroom floor
(Your life) I'm feelin' so sick
No more!

(High life, low life) [2x]
(High life) I'm feelin' so sick on the bathroom floor
(Low life) Sick... no... no more
