Auto Pilot

Queens Of The Stone Age · Rated R [2000]

Saw you down there on the marble slab

The best trip that I've ever had

High up in a jet plane, pass it around

My drinks on empty, need another round



I wanna fly, wanna ride with you

Is this the best that you can do?

I wanna fly, wanna ride with you

High up in a jet plane with you



When we arrive in the middle of nowhere

Don't act like you know, I been here so many times

I never seen you before

But now that I have, I don't wanna see you no more



High up in a jet plane with you

High up in a jet plane with you



chorus



Ahh, auto pilot no control

Ahh, ahh

Ahh, auto pilot no control

Ahh, ahh



High up in a jet plane with you

High up in a jet plane with you

Queens of the Stone Age's 'Auto Pilot' stands as a defining track from their 2000 debut album, Rated R. The song exemplifies the band's signature blend of heavy, downtuned riffs with melodic, atmospheric layers that characterize the stoner rock genre. Recorded during the early 2000s, the track showcases the group's ability to merge raw energy with a hypnotic, groove-oriented rhythm section. Its enduring popularity stems from its role in establishing the band's sound, influencing a generation of musicians who sought to combine aggressive heaviness with melodic accessibility. The recording remains a staple of their discography, often cited as a key example of the genre's evolution during that era.
