A Song For The Dead
Queens Of The Stone Age · Songs For The Deaf [2002]
It's late enough to go drivin
And see what's mine
Life's a study of dying
How to do it right
You're a holy roller
If you're bent on the loose
If you're hanging around
I'm holdin the noose
Come a little bit closer
And get untied
In a hearse rollin over
Just a track in the line
Fuck it
Come on, let's go drivin
Come on, let's take a little ride
Life's the study of dying
How to do it right
And see what's mine
Life's a study of dying
How to do it right
You're a holy roller
If you're bent on the loose
If you're hanging around
I'm holdin the noose
Come a little bit closer
And get untied
In a hearse rollin over
Just a track in the line
Fuck it
Come on, let's go drivin
Come on, let's take a little ride
Life's the study of dying
How to do it right
