Track Lyrics
Keep Your Eyes Peeled Lyrics
[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
Don't look, just keep your eyes peeled
Thoughtless, traipsing my mind's field
Shotgun, never behind the wheel (Anymore)
Danger, monsters of smoke and mirror
Slowly, can one so lost be found?
[Chorus]
Well, I know you'll never believe
I play as though I'm alright
If life is but a dream
Then wake me up
[Verse 2]
Fallen leaves realize they are no friend of autumn
The view from Hell is blue sky, so ominously blue
Daydream until all the blue is gone
[Chorus]
Well, I know you'll never believe
I play as though I'm alright
If life is but a dream
Wake me!
[Bridge]
Underwater is another life
Disregarding every myth we write
Rag doll churning, eagerly alive
(Over and over and gasping in horror
So breathless you surface, and just as the next wave hits!)
[Verse 3]
Big smile, really a show of teeth
Without a care in a world, no fear
Lonely, you don't know how I feel
Praise God, nothing is as it seems
I Sat by the Ocean Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I sat by the ocean
And drank a potion, baby, to erase you
Face down in the boulevard, yet I couldn't face you
There ain't no use in cryin'
It doesn't change anything, so, baby, what good does it do?
Your friends, they all sympathize, maybe I don't need them to
[Chorus]
Imagined I'd be your one and only
Instead, I'm the lonely one
You, me, and a lie
Silence is closer, we're passing ships in the night
[Verse 2]
There's nowhere to run away
Said, "Boy, if you want love, you'll have to go and 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 as we fade out of view
[Chorus]
Imagined I'd be your one and only
Instead I'm the lonely one
You, me, and a lie
Silence is closer, we're passing ships in the night
You, me, and a lie
Silence is closer, we're passing ships in the night
Into the light, left with nowhere to hide
[Outro]
Closer and closer, we're crashing ships in the night
If I Had a Tail Lyrics
[Verse 1: Josh Homme]
Gitchy, gitchy, ooh la-la
Do run-run, you won't get far
I'm machine, obsolete
The land of the free lobotomy
I wanna suck, I wanna lick
I wanna cry and I wanna 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
[Chorus: Josh Homme]
If I had a tail, I'd own the night
If I had a tail, I'd swat the flies
(Uh-uh-uh-uh) Yeah, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
(Uh-uh-uh-uh) Yeah, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
[Verse 2: Josh Homme]
Gitchy, gitchy, ooh la-la
Do run-run, 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
[Chorus: Josh Homme]
If I had a tail, I'd own the flies
If I had a tail, I'd swat the flies
(Uh-uh-uh-uh) Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
(Uh-uh-uh-uh) Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-ah-oh-ah, oh-oh
[Post-Chorus: Josh Homme]
Ah-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ah-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
[Bridge: Josh Homme]
(Uh-uh-uh-uh, uh-uh, uh-uh, uh-uh) See me dancing on the scars?
(Uh-uh-uh-uh, uh-uh, uh-uh, uh-uh) See me dance?
Ah-ooh-ooh
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
[Outro: Alex Turner & Nick Oliveri]
If I had a tail, I will control the night
If I had a tail, I will control the night (If I had a tail, I will control the night)
If I had a tail, I will control the night (When we have a tail, we will control the night)
When we have a tail, we will control
My God Is the Sun Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Far beyond the desert road
Where everything ends up
So good, the empty space
Mental erase, forgive, forgot
[Chorus]
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
[Interlude]
(Ooh-ooh)
[Verse 2]
Well, 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)
[Chorus]
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
(Yeah)
Heal them, like fire from a gun
Kneeling, my god is the sun
See them kneeling?
Godless heathens
[Outro]
Godless heathens always want from the sky
Kalopsia Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I never lie
To myself tonight
Rose-tinted eyes
Color my sorrow a shade of wine
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Bye-bye, black balloon
See you real soon
Wave bye-bye (Bye-bye)
[Chorus 1]
Oh, why you so sad? What have they done?
Forget those mindless baboons, they're off playing God
Copycats in cheap suits are playing it safe
While cannibals of bad news consume a parade
[Interlude]
Is it wonderful?
(Kalopsia, Kalopsia)
(Kalopsia)
(Kalopsia, Kalopsia)
[Verse 2]
Far, far from shore
The land of nightmares, gone forevermore
And I love you more
Than I can control
[Pre-Chorus 2]
I don't even try
Why would I?
[Chorus 2]
Oh, why the long face? You've got it all wrong
Forget the rat in the race, we'll choke chain them all
Fates favor the ones who help themselves
The rest feel the sting of the lash as they row (as they row) the boat (the boat) to Hell (to Hell)
[Outro]
Row
…Like Clockwork Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Everyone, it seems, has somewhere to go
And the faster the world spins, the 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
[Chorus 1]
And most of what you see, my dear, is purely for show
Because not everything that goes around comes back around, you know
Holdin' 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 downhill from here
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 2]
The love line in your hand, cleverly disguised
All the promises of stone crumble in the light
[Chorus 2]
Most of what you see, my dear, is worth letting go
Because not everything that goes around comes back around, you know
Holdin' on too long is just a fear of what 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 downhill from here
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
