Slipknot – Killpop Lyrics 10 years ago
This song can be interpreted in 2 ways: literally and metaphorically.
If interpreted literally it's about the narrator/singer being infatuated by something a thing of beauty, in this case a woman, yet he is unable to coexist with this person as he can't bare seeing this person destroy herself.

Corey said in an interview that metaphorically the song is about the music industry as a whole. The environment has become toxic and although he loves creating music he can't stand to see the industry destroy itself as it's all about the money and not about the artist or creativity anymore.

Queens of the Stone Age – ...Like Clockwork Lyrics 12 years ago
100% correct lyrics from the ...Like Clockwork LP:

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

Most of what you see my dear is purely for show
Because…
Not everything that goes around comes back around you know?
Holding on too long is just the fear of letting go
Because…
Not everything that goes around comes back around you know?

One thing 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 the fear of what to show
Because…
Not everything that goes around comes back around you know?

One thing is clear

It's all downhill from here

Queens of the Stone Age – I Appear Missing Lyrics 12 years ago
100% correct lyrics from the ...Like Clockwork LP:

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 inside a hospital gown
A prison of sleep, further down
The rabbit hole never to be found
Again…

Where are you hiding my love? Cast off like a stone
Feeling, raw & exposed when I'm outta control
Pieces were stolen from me or 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 miss

Shock me awake, tear me apart
Pinned like a note inside a hospital gown
A prison of sleep, further down
The rabbit hole never to be found

It's only falling in love because you hit the ground

Dancing on wire, both ends are on fire
Cut me loose

Nowhere to run, no more room to pretend
Wandering along the road in the summer night

I go missing, no longer exist
One day, I hope, I'm someone you'd miss

Shock me awake, tear me apart
Pinned like a note inside a hospital gown
A prison of sleep, further down
The rabbit hole never to be found

Don't cry-
With my toes on the edge it's such a lovely view
Inside-
I never loved anything until I loved you
Confide-
I'm over the edge, what can I do?
... -
I never had anything until I had you

I've fallen through...

Queens of the Stone Age – Fairweather Friends Lyrics 12 years ago
100% correct lyrics from the ...Like Clockwork LP:

Is there anyone out there?
Or am I just 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
It ain't so long before the dawn
When the sun is gone so are you

So what's it gonna take to get you back in bed?
Gossips, frauds and snakes
They're just our best fair-weather friends

One day when we're far away from everything that hurts
Drink wine and screw is all we do everyday

So what's it gonna take to get you back in bed?
Gossips, frauds and snakes
They're just our best fair-weather friends

You know the hour's late
Don't let 'em in your head
I'm gonna pray for rain again & again

Fairweather friends
Goodbye blue sky

Queens of the Stone Age – The Vampyre Of Time And Memory Lyrics 12 years ago
100% correct lyrics from the ...Like Clockwork LP:

I want God to come
And take me home
Cause I'm all alone in this crowd

Who are you to me?
Who'm I sposed 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 & 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?
I feel no love

Queens of the Stone Age – I Sat By The Ocean Lyrics 12 years ago
100% correct lyrics from the ...Like Clockwork LP:

I sat by the ocean and drank a potion to erase you
Face down in the boulevard, yet I couldn't face you
There ain't no use in crying, I doesn't change anything, so what good does it do?
Your friends they all sympathize
Maybe, I don't need them too

Imagine 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

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 you fingertips because it never happened to you
Time wounds all the heals as we fade out of view

Imagine 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
End to the night, left with nowhere to hide

Closer…
And closer…
We're crashing ships in the night

Queens of the Stone Age – Keep Your Eyes Peeled Lyrics 12 years ago
100% correct lyrics from the ...Like Clockwork LP:

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?

And I know you will never believe
I play it as though I'm alright
If life is but a dream, then
Wake me up

Fallen leaves realise 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 will never believe
I play it as though I'm alright
If life is but a dream, then
Wake me

Underwater is another life
Disregarding every myth we write

Rag doll churning
Over and over, gasping in horror
So breathless you surface
And just as the next wave is…

Big smile, really a show of teeth
Without a care in the world of fear
Lonely, you don't know how I feel
Praise God, nothing is as it seems

Queens of the Stone Age – Kalopsia Lyrics 12 years ago
Correct lyrics from the ...Like Clockwork Double LP:

I never lie
To myself
Tonight

Rose tinted eyes
Colour my sorrow a shade of wine
Bye bye black balloon
I'll see ya real soon
Wave bye bye
Bye bye...

Oh why you so sad? What have they done?
Forget those mindless baboons, they're off playing God
Copy cats in cheap suits are playing it safe
While cannibals of bad news consume the parade

Is it wonderful?

Far, far from shore-sure
The land of nightmares, gone...
Forever more

I love you more than I can control
I don't even try. Why would I?

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...

…The boat to hell

Row.

Queens of the Stone Age – Smooth Sailing Lyrics 12 years ago
Correct lyrics from the ...Like Clockwork Double LP:

It's all in motion, ain't no stopping it now
I got nothing to lose & only one way, up
I'm burning bridges, I destroy the mirage
All visions of collisions, fuckin' bon voyage

It's all smooth sailing from here on out

I got: bruises & hickies, stitches & scars
Got my own theme music, plays wherever I are
Fear is the hand that pulls your strings
A useless toy, pitiful plaything
I'm in flagrante, in every way, every day

It's all smooth sailing from here on out
I'm gonna do the damage that needs getting done

God only knows one long vacation
If reason is priceless, there's no reason to pay for it
It's so easy to see, yet so hard to find
Make a mountain of a mole hill, if the mole hill is mine

I hypnotize you, ignore you, then defy you
I blow my load over the status quo... oh... here we go
I'm a little bit nonchalant when I dance
I risk it all-ways, no second chance, that's why it's gotta be

It's gonna be smooth sailing from here on out
I'm gonna do the damage 'til the damage is done

God only knows, so mind your behaviour
Follow prescriptions of your loaded saviour
Every temple needs gold, every hook needs to shine

Headaches at the temple of the closed mind

It's all smooth sailing from here on out

Shut up

Pow!

Queens of the Stone Age – My God Is the Sun Lyrics 12 years ago
Correct lyrics taken from the ...Like Clockwork Double LP:

Far beyond the desert road
Where everything ends up
So good, the empty space, mental erase
Forgive, forgot

Heal them - bright 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

Heal them - bright fire from a gun
Kneeling - my god is the sun
Heal them - with fire from above
Kneeling - my god is the sun

Heal them - bright fire from a gun
Kneeling - my god is the sun
See them kneeling?
Godless heathens

Godless heathens always want from the sky

Queens of the Stone Age – If I Had A Tail Lyrics 12 years ago
Correct lyrics taken from the ...Like Clockwork Double LP:

Gitchy, gitchy
Oo la la
Da doo run run
You wont get far

I'm machine
I'm obsolete
The land of the free
Lobotomy

I wanna suck
I wanna lick
I wanna cry
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

If I had a tail
I'd own the night
If I had a tail
I'd swat the flies

Gitchy, gitchy
Oo la la
Da doo 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, 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

See me dance along the scars?
See me dance?
