Walkin On The Sidewalks
Queens Of The Stone Age · Queens Of The Stone Age [1998]
Loose teeth in my head
New programs are coming in
So rise and take your oath
I wish we could get away
Drink wine and screw
I knew someone else before
Looked alot like you
[chorus:]
And they're gone
I'm gone
In space
I been programed as I said before
Technology
Just rollin, wheezin and breathin
Eyeballs and teeth
Words are weightless here on earth because they're free
You knew someone else before
Looked alot like me
[repeat chorus 2x]
