Back To Dungaree High

just wanna dance and sing my song, oh okay
Clocking in, clocking out,
no I don't mind it at all
Me and the danger dudes
were on the news, so just don't bother to call, because...
It's just a way to stay alive, boy
it's such a trip just to survive
So it's back, back to dungaree high
just to get high, back to dungaree high
just a great big boy -
with a teeny-weeny alibi
Just a soul on ice
With a mirror and a blade
and a pocket full of ice
Cheap thrills done and the dirt cheap ants
'cause I got a headache in my pants
I got a headache in my pants
I got a headache in my pants
I got a headache in my pants, because...
It's just a way to stay alive, boy
It's such a trip just to survive
So it's back, back to dungaree high
just to get high, back to dungaree high
just a great big boy -
with a teeny-weeny alibi
It's just a way to stay alive, boy
It's such a trip just to survive, boy
It's just a way to stay alive, boy
It's such a trip just to survive, boy
It's just a way to stay alive, boy
It's such a trip just to survive
back to dungaree
back to dungaree
back to dungaree high
Back To Dungaree High
Queens Of The Stone Age's "Back To Dungaree High" stands as a defining track from their 1998 self-titled debut, capturing the band's early blend of alternative metal and desert rock. Featuring Josh Homme's distinctive vocal delivery and layered guitar work, the song reflects the band's signature sound during a pivotal era in their career. Released alongside tracks like "Regular John" and "The Fun Machine Took A Shit And Died," it helped establish the group's reputation for raw energy and atmospheric depth. The recording showcases the collaborative spirit of the core members, blending grunge influences with a more expansive, psychedelic approach that would characterize their subsequent discography. This track remains a staple of their catalog, illustrating the transition from their initial punk-infused roots to the heavier, more textured sound that defined the late 90s alternative landscape.
