No One Knows
Queens Of The Stone Age · Radio 1's Live Lounge [2006]
That and this, these and those
No one knows
We get these pills to swallow
How they stick in your throat
Tastes like gold
Oh what you do to me
No one knows
I realize you're mine
Indeed a fool am I
I realize you're mine
Indeed a fool am I
I journey through the desert
Of the mind with no hope
I follow
I drift along the ocean
Dead lifeboats in the sun
And come undone
Pleasantly caving in
I come undone
I realize you're mine
Indeed a fool am I
I realize you're mine
Indeed a fool am I....I
Heaven smiles above me
What a gift here below
But no one knows
The Gift that you give to me
No one knows
