Don't look, just keep your eyes peeledThoughtless, traipsing my minds fieldShotgun, never behind the wheel anymoreDanger, monsters of smoke & mirrorSlowly, can one so lost be found?

& I know. You will never believeI play this as though I'm alrightIf life is but a dream, thenWake me up.

Fallen leaves realize they are no friend of autumnThe view from Hell is blue skySo ominously blue.I daydream until all the blue is gone

& I know. You will never believeI play this as though I'm alrightIf life is but a dream, thenWake me.

Underwater is another lifeDisregarding every myth we writeeagerly aliveRag doll churningover & over, gasping in horrorso breathless you surfacejust as the next wave is...

Big smile, really a show of teethWithout a care in a world of fearLonely, you don't know how I feelPraise God, Nothing is as it seems

I sat by the ocean & drank a potion to erase you.Face down in the Boulevard, yet I couldn't face you.There ain't no use in crying. It doesn't change anything,So what good does it do?Your friends, they all sympathize.Maybe, I don't need them too.

You. Me. & a lie.Silence is closer.We're passing ships in the night.

There's nowhere to run away.Said,"boy if you want love, you'll have to go & find it with someone new.""do you know who you really are? are you sure it's really you?"Lies are a funny thing.They slip through your fingertips because they never happened to you.Time wounds all the heals. Then we fade out of view.

You. Me. & a lie.Silence is closer.We're passing ships in the night.End to the night, left with nowhere to hide.Closer...& closer...We're crashing ships in the night

THE VAMPYRE OF TIME & MEMORYJoey Castillo- DrumsDean Fertita- Piano, Guitars,Joshua Homme- Vocals, Piano, Lead Guitar, Drums, Moog, Roland SH-2Michael Shuman- BassTroy Van Leeuwen- Guitar, Moog Lap Steel, Moog, Korg Arpeggio

I want God to come& take me homecause I'm all alone in this crowd

Who are you to me?Who'm I sposed to be?Not exactly sure anymore.

Where's this going to?Can I follow through?Or just follow you for awhile?

Does anyone ever get this right?I feel no love

Page 3: lyricks ...like clockwork.docx

Ain't no confusion hereIt is as I fearedThe illusion that you feel       is real.

To be vulnerable is needed most of all if you intend to truly fallApart

You think the worst of all is far behindThe Vampyre of time & memories       has diedI survived. I speak. I breathe. I'm incomplete.I'm alive, hooray.You're wrong againCause I feel no Love

Does anyone ever get this right?I feel no love

Gitchy gitchy oo lalaDa doo run runYou won't get far

I'm machine       ObsoleteThe land of the free       LobotomyI wanna suck       I wanna lick       I wanna grind       I wanna spitTears of pleasure       Tears of painThey trickle down your face the sameIt's how you look       Not how you feelA city of glass       With no heart

If I had a tail       I'd own the nightIf I had a tail       I'd swat the flies

Gitchy gitchy oo lalaDa doo run runYou won't get far

Animals in the midnight zoneWhen you own the world you're always homeGet your hands dirty       Roll up them sleeves

Page 4: lyricks ...like clockwork.docx

Brainwashed or true believers?Buy flash cars       Diamond rings       Expensive holes to bury thingsI'm machine       ObsoleteIn the land of the free       Immortality

See me dance along the scars?See me dance?

MY GOD IS THE SUNDean Fertita- GuitarDave Grohl- DrumsJoshua Homme- Vocals, Guitar, Lead Guitar, PercussionMichael Shuman- Vocals, Bass, PercussionTroy Van Leeuwen- Vocals, 12-String Guitar, Moog, Percussion

Far beyond the desert road (where everything ends up)So good, the empty space, mental erase, forgive, forgot

Heal them—Bright fire from a gunKneeling—My God is the SunHeal them—With fire from aboveKneeling— My God is the Sun

I don't know what time it was (I don't wear a watch)So good, to be ant, who crawls, atop a spinning rock

Heal them—Bright fire from a gunKneeling—My God is the SunHeal them—With fire from aboveKneeling— My God is the SunSee them kneeling? Godless heathens

Godless heathens always want from the sky.

I never lieTo myselfTonight.

Rose tinted eyesColor my sorrow a shade of wineBye bye black balloon

Page 5: lyricks ...like clockwork.docx

I'll see ya real soonWave bye bye

Oh, why you so sad? What have they done?Forget those mindless baboons, they're off playing GodCopy cats in cheap suits are playing it safeWhile cannibals of bad news consume the parade

Is it wonderful?

Far, far from shore-sureThe land of nightmares, gone...Forever more

I love you more than I can controlI don't even try. Why would I?

Oh, why the long face? You've got it all wrongForget the rat in the race, we'll choke chain them allFates favor the ones who help themselvesThe rest feel the sting of the lash as they row......The boat to HELL

Row.

FAIRWEATHER FRIENDSDean Fertita- Wurly, GuitarDave Grohl- DrumsJoshua Homme- Vocals, Guitar, Lead GuitarElton John- Vocals, PianoMichael Shuman- Bass, GuitarTroy Van Leeuwen- Guitars, Background Vocals

Is there anybody out there?Or am I just walking alone?When I turned around &found that you'd gone before the first rain could fall

It seems every single time I was bleeding Broken promises that never came true It ain't so long before the dawn When the sun is gone so are you

So what's it gonna take to get you back in bedGossips, frauds & snakesThey're just our best fair weather friends

One day when we're far away from everything that hurtsDrink wine & screw is all we'll do everyday

Page 6: lyricks ...like clockwork.docx

So what's it gonna take to get you back in bedGossips, frauds & snakesThey're just our best fair weather friends

You know the hour's lateDon't let em in your headI'm gonna pray for rain again & again

Fair weather friendsGoodbye blue sky

SMOOTH SAILINGDean Fertita- GuitarDave Grohl- DrumsJoshua Homme- Vocals, Guitar, Lead Guitar, Frog, LooperMichael Shuman- Vocals, Bass, Claps, Shaker, ClaveTroy Van Leeuwen- Guitar, Claps

It's all in motion, ain't no stopping it nowI got nothing to lose & only one way, up

I'm burning bridges, I destroy the mirageAll visions of collisions, fuckin' Bon Voyage

It's all smooth sailing from here on out

I got: bruises & hickeys, stitches & scarsGot my own theme music plays where ever I are

Fear is the hand that pulls your stringsYou're a useless toy, pitiful playthingI'm in flagrante, in every way, every day

It's all smooth sailing from here on outI'm gonna do the damage that needs getting done

God only knows one long vacationIf reason is priceless, there's no reason to pay for itIt's so easy to see, yet so hard to findMake a mountain of a molehill, if the molehill is mine

I hypnotize you, ignore then defy youI blow my load over the status quo...oh...here we goI'm a little bit non chalant when I danceI risk it all-ways, no second chance, that's why it's gotta be

It's all smooth sailing from here on outI'm gonna do the damage til the damage is done

Page 7: lyricks ...like clockwork.docx

God only knows, so mind your behaviorFollow prescriptions of your loaded saviorEvery temple needs gold, like every hook needs to shineHeadaches at the temple of the closed mind

It's all smooth sailing from here on out

I APPEAR MISSINGDean Fertita- Clavinet, Background VocalsDave Grohl- DrumsJoshua Homme- Vocals, 12-String Guitar, Slide GuitarMichael Shuman- Bass, Background Vocals, Screams,Troy Van Leeuwen- Drone Guitar, 12-String Guitar, Shaker, Background Vocals

Calling all comas, prisoner on the loose,Description:The spitting image of me,‘Cept for the heart shaped hole where the hoperuns out

Shock me awake, tear me apartPinned like a note inside a hospital gownA prison of sleep, further downThe rabbit hole never to be foundAgain...

It's only falling in love because you hit the Ground

Where are you hiding my love? Cast off like a stoneFeelings, raw & exposed when I'm outta controlPieces were stolen from me or dare I say given awayWatching the water give in as I go down the drain

I appear missing now

I go missing, no longer existOne day, I hope, I'm someone you'd missDancing on wire both ends are on fire

Cut me loose

Nowhere to run, no more room to pretendWandering along the road in the summer night

Don't cry—With my toes on the edge it's such a lovely view...

Inside—I never loved anything until I loved you

Page 8: lyricks ...like clockwork.docx

Confide—I'm over the edge, what can I do?

Sunshine—I've fallen through...I appear missing.

String Arrangement by: Philip Shepard and James Lavelle

Everyone it seems, has somewhere to go& the faster the world spins, the shorter the lights will glow& I'm swimming in the night, chasing down the moonThe deeper in the water, the more I long for you

Most of what you see my dear is purely for showBecause...Not everything that goes around comes back aroundYou know?Holding on too long is just the fear of letting goBecause...Not everything that goes around comes back aroundYou know.

One thing that is clear:It's all down hill from here.

The loveline in your hand, cleverly disguisedAll the promises of stone, crumble in the night

Most of what you see my dear is worth letting goBecause...Not everything that goes around comes back aroundYou know?Holding on too long is just the fear of what to showBecause...Not everything that goes around comes back aroundYou know.

One thing that is clear:It's all down hill from here.
