Cover art for 18 A.D. lyrics by Queens of the Stone Age

I always heard "Can't speak another word" before "as far as you know". I really love this song how the bass is hammering in one ear and the guitar in the other. It'd have to say its about distorted perceptions you get while you are high, maybe the the guy who is tripping out is 18 and feels like he died. Hey it happens.
