Verse 1:
I know I know the sun is hot, mosquitoes come and suck your blood
Leave you there all alone, just skin and bone
When you walk among the trees, listening to the leaves
The further I go the less I know, the less I know
Chorus:
Where will you run?
Where will you hide?
Lullaby's to paralyze
Verse 2:
Fat and soft, Pink and weak, foot and thigh, tongue in cheek
You know I'm told they'll swallow you whole, skin and bone
Cutting boards, hanging hooks, bloody knives, cooking books
Promising you won't feel a thing at all
Chorus:
Swallow and chew, eat you alive
All of us food, that hasn't died
And the night says
INTERLUDE
Verse 3:
Simmering, pick and pluck, tenderize, bone to dust
The sweetest grease, the finest meat you'll never taste
So you scream, whine and yell, the supple sounds of dinner bell
We all will feed the worms and trees so don't be shy
Chorus:
Swallow and chew, eat you alive
All of us food, that hasn't died
========================================================================
Well that's it! It's a great song for a 12-string!
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
