Mexicola

Queens of the Stone Age

Setting sun deals hands of gold
There's velvet eyes in Mexico
Just a fall away and all she said was true
Speak in tongues, speak in lies
Drooling livers, born to die
It's a wonder that those guns don't point at you

Oh, oh
Oh, oh

(Keep sayin') go on, (keep sayin') go on
(Keep sayin') you won't (live forever)
(Keep sayin') go on, (keep sayin') go on
(Keep sayin') you won't (live forever)

Point and shoot, I know just what you mean
In a world that's full of shit and gasoline, babe
One dog's dead, one's on the phone, just leave a lung or leave it alone
It's that same old song again, I hate it 'cause it's true

Oh, oh
Ooh, ooh

(Keep sayin') go on, (keep sayin') go on
(Keep sayin') you won't (live forever)
(Keep sayin') go on, (keep sayin') go on
(Keep sayin') you won't (live forever)

    It's annoying how this is one of their best songs and it's still only got 4 posts, when their new singles have got loads. I agree with Nick Oliveri, the new album's not as good as any of their old stuff. Anyway, I think the line "It's that same on song again" is wrong and it's "It's that same old song again."

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
