I Never Came
Queens Of The Stone Age · Lullabies To Paralyze [2005]
Yes, I know you're wrong
Cut & slash, sharpest knife
It won't die
Poison cup, drank it up
It won't die
No fire, no gun, no rope, no stone
It won't die
Why you gotta shove it in my face
As if you put me in my place
Cause I DON'T CARE
If you or me is wrong or right
Ain't gonna spend another night,
In your bed...
Laws of man, are just pretend
They ain't mine
Love so good, love so bad
It won't die
Some talk too long, they know it all
I just smile & move on
Words ain't free, like you & me
I d'ont mind...
Why'd you have to be so mean & cruel,
The dogs are loose i'm on to you
You ball & ...
Chained together from the dawn to dusk,
Can't call it leavin, cause it's just
I never came....
About I Never Came

Released during a period of intense creative output following their acclaimed *Rated R*, the song exemplifies the band's signature blend of heavy, distorted riffs and melodic hooks. It features the distinctive vocals of Josh Homme, who often layered multiple tracks to create a dense, atmospheric sound characteristic of their work in the mid-2000s. The recording captures the raw energy of the group's live performances while maintaining the polished production quality that defined their discography at the time. As a staple of their catalog, the track remains a defining example of the alternative rock and stoner metal genres, reflecting the band's evolution from their earlier garage-rock roots to a more complex, layered sound.
