I don't usually give a hoot about lyrics but the album makes me go "damn" every time.
The whole album, the production, the range of styles, the mixing, the songs themselves, all fucking solid. Seriously underrated. Not all of it is as QOTSA as the song above.
>The worry, the wonder, the shortness of days,
>The replacement for purpose,
>The things swept away by
>The worry, the wonder, my slightness of frame,
>The replacements for feeling,
>The casual lay. And
>The worst of the wildlife wears clothes and can pray and
>The worry, the wonder, for three meals a day.
>Only death unimpeded, not slowing it’s pace,
>Brings that petty, old worry and wonder away.
Fuck you if you think it doesn't rhyme, it does in Polish.

>And you are here, one with hands
>of such gothic manner.
>And you are beautiful like a morning star
>in your dresses from Marché aux Puces.
>I wish to draw closer me love,
>hum quietly into your ear.
>Well, but you lie on top of two men
>and between us a kitchen sink.

>After Charles Manson
>bind our hands again
>With Linda Kasabian form a circle.
>You comrades from silent zone,
>Whose hands are frozen to your bayonets.
>Black tankmen, loyal to the Chief,
>with whom I stood until the last one shot.
>My lovely band of Sonderkommando,
>stenching of smoke from brotherly flesh.
>End of the break, clean the rifles,
>we still have to walk more miles.
>Let the fire rage, thunder strike,
>may the leperhouse be consumed by flame.
>Misty world may be frozen to the bone
>and Big Dipper will still light the sky.
>And to the travel-whores
>Ashes, rubble, smoke, ruin
>And to the travel-whores
>Ashes, rubble, smoke, ruin

>Yeah, ignorance is bliss until the day
>The things you ignored all come into focus
>And those conveniences and cavities
>That can't get filled 'cause you didn't notice

>No ass, no head

>No way, no way
>I cannot live in a world this gay
