Battery Acid
Queens Of The Stone Age · Era Vulgaris [2007]
Straight into your heart
Sorry all you are
I don't really care
I know you are
Robots, robots
Brainwashed babies, blood from a leech,
Spoken rabies
Spastic, plastic, battery acid
Yank on the leash
Dragging you backwards
Oh my
Closed eyes never see it coming
There's no thing you can say,
You can't wish me away
Every masochist, gets a turn
Sadistic twist, you'll never learn
Battery acid
Battery acid in my veins, unidentified remains
Yes button broke to automatic
Irrational dosage of furious static
Erasing what you are, you were
(Jealous)
To feel the way you do
(Dementia)
The lie you call the truth
(Beautiful)
Nothing except yourself, and nobody else
I got nobody else
There's no thing you can say,
You can't wish me away
Every masochist, gets a turn
Sadistic twist, you'll never learn
Battery acid
