Queens Of The Stone Age - Era Vulgaris (2007) by Queens Of The Stone Age (보컬) on maniadb.com

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.

Young, dumb, don't see a problem
Bloodshot, stare like a hoodlum
Simple as this; I'm in love with the risk
I know what I've done,
But tell me what did I miss?
So please don't save something
Waste not, save nothing
Lose the halo, don't need to resist
A lick of the lips and a grip on your hips

Sick, sick, sick
Don't resist
Sick, sick, sick
Don't resist

First thing we succumb to
Shout, erase, and undo
Days are unreleased, if there's no release
Please just let me do whatever fits you
Make something, make someone
Beg on a knee, baby baby please
Pout your bottom lip
While cracking the whip


You know what we want,
It's candy to cum to

Sick, sick, sick
Don't resist
Sick, sick, sick
Don't resist

A total eclipse in the teeth of the risk
The tongue is a twist, perpetual bliss
Forever midnight
Forever...

Sick, sick, sick
Don't resist
Sick, sick, sick
Don't resist

Sick sick, sick (I'm gonna take)
Don't resist (I don't wanna choose)
Sick, sick, sick (I'm gonna take)
Don't resist (I don't wanna change)

My generation's for sale
Beats a steady job
How much have you got?

My generation don't trust no one
It's hard to blame
Not even ourselves

The thing that's real for us is: fortune and fame
All the rest seems like work
It's just like diamonds
In shit

I'm high class, I'm a whore
Actually both
Basically, I'm a pro
We've all got our own style of baggage
Why hump it yourself?

You've made me an offer that I can refuse
'Cause either way I get screwed
Counter proposal: I go home and jerk off, uh

It's truly a lie
I counterfeit myself
It's truly a lie
I counterfeit myself
You don't own, you don't own, you don't own, you don't own
You don't own what none can buy
You don't own
(You don't own)
Neither do I

High and mighty, you say selling out is a shame
Is that the name of your book?
Push a silver spoon in your ass
No more holding us
Down, dog, down, mutt, nice mutt

You're insulted you can't be bought or sold
Translation: offer too low
You don't know what you're worth
It isn't much
My piano's for sale
How many times must I sell myself
Before my pieces are gone?
I'm one of a kind! I'm designer!

Never again will I repeat myself
Enough is never enough
Never again will I repeat myself

It used to be the plan was screwing the man
Now it's have sex with a man
(After he buys your dot-com for sale at a low, low price)

It's truly a lie
I counterfeit myself
It's truly a lie
I counterfeit myself
You don't own, you don't own, you don't own me
You don't own what none can buy
You don't own...
You don't own what none can buy
Neither do I

Avoir, Adieu, Goodnight,

I'm too wrong, to get right,

But I cant wait forever,

I've always been alone,

A fool believes he's clever.

Don't you wanna go into the hollow?

I won't go it alone,

Aren't you gonna follow?



I live behind my eyes,

Be sure to keep the surprise,

I break what I've already borrowed,

That's why I always go,

Alone into tomorrow.

Don't you wanna go into the hollow?

Don't wanna go alone, aren't you gonna follow?

Into the hollow

Wanna see my past in flames,

Don't waste a drop baby, I ain't fussed.

Where I was born, no escape,

There, there ain't even no good/bad drugs.

In the city is it true?

If you don't, you act like you do.

Feast of fools. I can't wait,

Give 'em a taste of my misfit love.

Complicate.

Encarcerate.

Feel my heart wake up.



Ain't born to lose baby,

I'm born to win,

I'm so goddamn slick baby, it's a sin,

It's a sin.



Transforming is becoming on me...



Do me first, do your worst.

Gimmie what I want some of.

One track mind, no time to waste.

Sidewalks, feel me strut so good?

Gutter, don't forget this face,

Let 'em taste my misfit love.

I'll show you all my dirty tricks,

Then show 'em again,

I'm so proud of em.

It's cruel to be constantly,

Feel my heart play dumb.



Ain't born to lose baby,

I'm born to win,

I'm so goddamn sick baby, it's a sin,

It's a Sin.



Just a dead man, walking through the dead of night,

And if you are going anywhere tonight? Just a dead end,

Walking through the dead of night and if you are going,

Can I get a ride?

Just a dead man walking through the dead of night,

Its impossible to wait until the light,

Cause, I'm already gone,

If you bet on me, you've won.

Make you into dark
Straight into your heart
Sorry all you are
I don't really care
Well, I know you are...

Robots, robots
Brainwashed babies, blood from a leech
Spoken rabies
Spastic, plastic, battery acid
Yank on the leash
Draggin' you backwards
Oh, my closed eyes
Never see it comin'

There's nothing you can say
You can't wish me away
Every masochist gets a turn
The sadistic twist you'll never learn
Battery acid, battery acid

Battery acid in my veins
Unidentified remains
"Yes" button broke to automatic
Irrational dosage of furious static erasing what you are
You were

(Jealous)
To feel the way you do
(To mention)
A lie, then call it true
(Feel for)
Nothing except for yourself and nobody else
Hanging over the edge

There's nothing you can say
You can't wish me away
Every masochist gets a turn
The sadistic twist you'll never learn
In battery acid, battery acid, hey

You wanna know if I know why
I can't say that I do
Don't understand the you or I
Or how one becomes two
I just can't recall what started it off
Or how to begin again
I ain't here to break ya
Just see how far it will bend
Again and again, again and again

I wanna make it
I wanna make it wit' chu
Anytime, anywhere
I wanna make it
(Again and again)
I wanna make it wit' chu

Sometimes the same is different
But mostly it's the same
These mysteries of life...
That just ain't my thing
If I told you that I knew about the sun and the moon, I'd be untrue
The only thing I know for sure
Is what I won't do
Anytime, anywhere, and I said...

I wanna make it
(Again and again)
I wanna make it wit' chu
Anytime, anywhere
I wanna make it
(Again and again)
I wanna make it wit' chu
I wanna make it
(Anytime, anywhere)
I wanna make it wit' chu
Yeah
I wanna make it
I wanna make it wit' chu

I wanna make it
(Again and again)
I wanna make it wit' chu
I wanna make it
(Anytime, anywhere)
I wanna make it wit' chu
I wanna make it
(Again and again)
I wanna make it wit' chu
(Again and again, and again, and again)
I wanna make it

Lie, lie to my face
Tell me it ain't no thing
That's what I wanna hear.
Take, a lie to the grave
That's what an old friend told me
Look what it did for him.

The truth hurts so bad, wouldn't you say?
So why tell it?
If ignorance is bliss,
Then I'm in heaven now.

Run, you'll never escape
You see you go nowhere so new you appear
Broke, laid to waste
Turn into sweet nothings
That kiss you goodbye.

The truth hurts so bad, wouldn't you say?
So why tell it?
If ignorance is bliss,
Then I'm in heaven now.

I keep doin' it over and over again
The never ending places I've never been
No one is catching on or calling my bluff
The devil made me, only we never met
What you do is say it with a smile boy
Makin' us all forget
What you do is say it with a smile boy
Makin' us all forget
Makin' us all forget
Makin' us all forget

I'm gonna suture up my future
I ain't jaded, I just hate it
See, I've been down too long
It's kinda hard to explain
Gone and buried all I carried
All my evil through a needle
As it pulled through the eye what was
What went on around gone

Don't sweat
Thread to forget
To feel like you've already gone on
To the rest of, the rest of the life that you've got
Take a picture and bury it all away
Bury it all away

Tried to fake it, I just can't take it
I don't care if it hurts
Just so long as it's real
I won't waste it, turned to face it
I'd sharpened a knife, then used it till bone made it dull
Tried explaining, done explaining
I got caught in a plant
Of all this talking at once
I've been giving my love away
To the things that tear it apart
I'm gonna suture up my future

Thread to forget
To feel like you've already gone on
To the rest of, the rest of the life that you've got
Tie the loose ends and bury it all away
It's like this, it's like this

Fast approaching monsters marching in a row
Grab what slips your mind and what your memory won't hold
Run, darling, run
I'll stall them if I can
You'll escape, and I'll be left rotting on the vine

Run, darling, run
I'll stall if I can
You'll escape, and I'll be left rotting on the vine
Avert the children's eyes
Forgets left untold
Don't look back to see
The blood river in the road

Get sweet revenge with my blood river in the road

When I was young,
We used to play the game of hide and seek,
Someone'd go hide,
I count to ten.
You probably never played,
Instead you talk a game of sheep,
A skill you almost do perfect.

Run Pig Run.
Here I Come.

I am no saint and make no claims,
To being in the right,
Its just for now, I am wrong-less,
You probably wondering,
With what to do, this has with you,
I wanna play the game you missed.

Run Pig Run.
Here I Come.

There is no safe place,
There is no safe place,
There is no safe place to hide

When I was a little boy
I looked under the stairs
The king and the pawns
Were caught unawares
Standing in the shadows
A whisperer to be
Just fishing in the darkness
Of possibilities

Just
Look
At you run
Yeaaaaah
Look at you run
Yeah
Ooooh
Look at you run

Among such style and grace
Our highest hopes
None standing still
The running joke
Where goes the warm embrace it fades
Without return
That lives to slip through fingertips and burn

Just
Look
At you run
Ooooooh
Look at you run
Ooooooh
Look at you run
Ooooooh
Look at you run

I play a game 'til I'm dead
Or on a magazine
I wanna look like I'm dead
Dancing on a string
I eat the food when it's there
Make a mess of things
Get that look everywhere
But keep that look off my face

Everybody else wanna fall in love
There's no room for love in a modern sky
Living in the era vulgaris
Just drool in the dark
As you stare at the lights

From a crumbling tower I see everything
London, Tokyo, New York City
There's no love any place

Everybody else wanna fall in love
There's no room for love in a modern sky
Living in the era vulgaris
Just drool in the dark
As you stare at the lights

All we creatures helplessly attacking repetition
Over, over left with who we are
Did you tell anyone?
Did you tell any place?

Everybody else wanna fall in love
There's no room for love in a modern sky
Living in the era vulgaris
Just drool in the dark
As you stare at the lights

Living in the era vulgaris
Just drool in the dark
As you stare at the lights

Just stare at the lights

Got guns
Do you wanna take aim at each other?
Scratch the itch? Give the finger?
Cause we don't care

Anyway

Got knives,
Have you seen 'em?
In your back's where we keep 'em
And your never gonna reach 'em
Now that sounds fair

Oh, this is bound to be good
You can't, but you thought that you could

How you like your position?
You ain't Robert Mitchum
You say you give & you give
Why don't you just give in?

Tra La La

Young, Dumb, Drinkin semen
Small pond kind of dreamin'
If you don't like the raft,
Why don't you take a swim?

Ooh, This is bound to be good
You can't, but you thought that You could
Ooh, How can you win?
Against yourself again
