Regular John
Queens Of The Stone Age · Queens Of The Stone Age [1998]
Who are you boy?
Bet I know what you're up to
Can I come along
Your home number's on the wall
I just had to call, had to
I'm not the only one
Who will run with a knife
[chorus:]
Open up your eyes
Open up your room
Open up your arms
One six two seven eight
Two six three seven eight nine
where's your daddy now
I heard he ran away
who are you girl?
cause I'm so bored with myself
anyway
any time and any place
I'll just hang around
[repeat chorus]
one six two seven eight
two six three seven eight nine
[chorus:]
open up your eyes
open up your room
open up your arms
open up your door
open up your eyes
open up your room
open up your arms
