Cover art for Mexicola lyrics by Queens of the Stone Age

"Setting sun deals hands of gold" *- sounds like someone got a goooood deal on some cocaine.

"There's velvet eyes in Mexico" *- ever seen someone's eyes after a week long coke bender?

"Just a fall away And all she said was true" *- must have been told it was good shi..stuff.

"Speak in tongues, speak in lies" *- ever talked to someone after they have been on a week long coke bender? They talk gibberish and will tell you the most unreal stories.

"Drooling livers, born to die" *- The liver processes toxins and chemicals out of the body... excessive usage will "pickle" your liver to death. Sounds like he is implying his liver is jonesing too.

"It's a wonder that those guns don't point at you" *- Sounds like it is referring to either a cartel or police organization... or possibly 'guns' refers to I.V. syringes.

[chorus:] "Keep sayin, go on, keep sayin, go on, keep sayin, you will live forever" *- Sounds like he is trying to convince himself that the junk won't kill him eventually.

"Point and shoot, I know just what you mean" *- Possibly I.V. use?

"In a world that's full of shit and gasoline, baby" *- Shit could refer to the slang term for drugs in general... gasoline is the solvent used when extracting chemicals from coca leaf.

"One dog's dead one's on the phone" *- I always thought 'dog' was slang for someone's friend. Sounds like one of his friends had a not so good time and the other is wondering where the shit is...

"Just leave a lung or leave it alone" *- There is a high cost when strung out on something like coke... mentally, socially, emotionally, and physically... this likely means that the cost will be too high.

"It's that same on song again I hate it cause it's true" *- Regardless of how much you dislike being dependent upon something, when the monkey is on your back it is hard to keep that little bastard fed.

[repeat chorus]

Just my take on things, but again, who really knows what the hell the artists are talking about when they write songs.

take care, piggy pig.

My Interpretation

@napoleonpigg. Same "on" song again was typo. Took me 6 years to fix it.
