Cover art for My God Is the Sun lyrics by Queens of the Stone Age

In an interview it was mentioned that many of the songs on this CD were heavily influenced by a botched leg surgery that Josh had that left him dead on the operating table for a small amount of time (obviously he recovered) and then many months bed-ridden. After knowing this information, go through all of the lyrics on this album and you can start to make connections to this surgery, his doctors ("baboons off playing god") and all that sort of related crap.
