Queens Of The Stone Age - Smooth Sailing Lyrics






It's all in motion, ain't no stopping now
I got nothing to lose and only one way, up
I'm burning bridges, I destroy the mirage
All visions of collisions, fuckin' bon voyage

It's all smooth sailing from here on out

I got: bruises and hickeys, stitches and scars
Got my own theme music plays wherever I are
Fear is the hand that pulls your strings
You're a useless toy, pitiful plaything
I'm in flagrante, in every way, every day

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

God only knows one long vacation
If reason is priceless, there's no reason to pay for it
It's so easy to see, yet so hard to find
Make a mountain of a molehill, if the molehill is mine

I hypnotize you, ignore, then defy you
I blow my load over the status quo... oh
Here we go
I'm a little bit nonchalant when I dance
I risk it always, no second chance
That's why it's gotta be

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

God only knows so mind your behavior
Follow prescriptions of your loaded saviour

Every temple needs gold
Like every hook needs to shine
Headaches at the temple of the closed mind

Closed mind
Closed mind
Closed mind

It's all smooth sailing from here on out

Shut up...

Pow!

    It's all in motion
    No stoppin' now
    I've got nothin' to lose
    And only one way up

    I'm burning bridges
    I destroy the mirage
    Oh, visions of collisions
    Fuckin 'bon voyage

    It's all smooth sailing
    From here on out

    I got bruises and hickies
    Stitches and scars
    Got my own theme music
    It plays wherever I are

    Fear is the hand
    That pulls your strings
    A useless toy
    Pitiful plaything

    I'm inflagranti
    In every way

    It's all smooth sailing
    From here on out
    I'm gon' do the damage
    That needs gettin' done

    God only knows
    Where love vacations
    If reason is priceless
    There's no reason to pay for it

    It's so easy to see
    And so hard to find
    Make a mountain of a mole hill
    If the mole hill is mine

    I hypnotize you
    And no one can find you
    I blow my load
    Over the status quo
    Here we go

    I'm a little bit nonchalant
    But I dance
    I'm risking it always
    No second chance

    It's gonna be smooth sailing
    From here on out
    I'm gon' do the damage
    'Til the damage is done yeah

    God only knows
    So mind your behavior
    Follow prescriptions
    Of your lord and savior

    Every temple is gold
    Every hook is designed
    Hell is but the temple
    Of the closed mind
    Closed mind
    Closed mind
    Closed mind

    It's all smooth sailing
    From here on out

    Shut up

    Pow!

  52. M.... B....

  55. G.... J....

    Korn did this w twisted transistor too

  56. S.... N....

  57. D.... W....

    Its like watching a cut scene leading up to a Yakuza Mission. i love it

  58. c.... s....

    I've watched this video about 7 times and this is the first time i noticed that it's Troy who's being murked with a bottle.

    Liking Queens of the Stone Age is not a matter of opinion. Either you're right, or you're wrong.

  61. R.... T....

    You know you had quite the night when it ends in berrying a body!!

  62. w.... ....

    an average tuesday in the life of josh homme

  63. M.... ....

    Queens of the K-POP.

  64. N.... S....

    'I blow my load over the status quo".....that's some damn lucky asf status quo right there😍

  65. H.... S....

    This song should be covered by pop singer Christina Aguilera.

    H.... S....

    Wtf! No!

  66. A.... K....

    Closed minds

  67. A.... K....

    I blow my load all over the Status Quo!

  68. A.... K....

    Got my own theme music place wherever I are!

  69. d.... h....

    Make a mountian of a molehill, if the molehill is... mine."

  70. s.... ....

    A great theme song for being a seedy loser who says everything's just 'smooth sailing' when everything's actually going/already gone to shit.

    s.... ....

    That makes a lot of sense, especially considering how depressing the whole album is.

    To me this song is just about alcohol fuelled recklessness, perhaps as a means of coping

    s.... ....

    @Chris Bade That would definitely be an aspect of that lmao.

  71. d.... p....

    Gotta luv it when the video is as kick ass as the song!

  72. M.... D....

    I blow my load over the status quo...herewego!

  73. J.... W....

    If i ever win the lottery I'll be blasting this song!

  74. T.... M....

    Erm, Is that what I think it is at the end, when what I assume is one of the dead guys being buried? It would have to be a guy, given the particular piece of anatomy...

  75. P.... L....

    Saw the band in Seattle it was Just loud

  76. D.... ....

    Therapist: Umbrella holding buff dog lady is not real, it can't hurt you.
    Umbrella holding buff dog lady: 3:53

  77. B.... A....

    gonna try listening to this when im drunk

  78. R.... S....

    Shinagawa station...qotsa has literally stalked me everywhere I’ve gone in Japan since Lullabies to Paralyze...its a good thing I love this god damn band

  79. M.... F....

    It's 2019, I'm ready for a new album!

    M.... F....

    @fl0nk11 why's that? Google said something about a Desert Sessions album being recently hinted at by Homme on Twitter

    M.... F....

    @Mike French Oh, I figured you were freaking out about new Queens like half the internet seems to be...yeah, DS is definitely on the horizon. Looks like a release around Halloween.

    M.... F....

    @fl0nk11 oh, is DS gonna be separate from the Queens? Haha I only said I'm ready for a new album because they usually put one out every 2 years it seems. If there's any online drama/outrage I'm blissfully ignorant of it

    M.... F....

    @Mike French Yeah, Queens isn't going to be doing anything for a while, since everyone in the band has been and is off doing other things (Michael and Jon are touring with Mini Mansions, Dean's with The Raconteurs, Troy has a brand new baby). Billy Gibbons apparently told an interviewer at a festival that he was involved in a Queens album, and mistakenly said it was Queens and not DS...and the world's been losing its collective mind. But Josh has already hinted pretty obviously at a new DS, and said something about its completion on one of Jesse Hughes's Instagram videos.

    M.... F....

    @fl0nk11 oh, right on. Thanks for letting me know. As long as Homme is involved, it'll rock. I can't get enough of Them Crooked Vultures & Eagles of Death Metal 🤘

  81. p.... h....

    Facts
    1 one of the coolest music videos ever
    2 the song is fucking class ( like in my top 5 QOTSA songs)
    3 this song is so much fun to sing drunk at karaoke

    p.... h....

    4 That dog thing is wearing high heels

  82. c.... s....

    Standard night out after work 👌

  83. c.... ....

    4:10 makes me feel evil

  84. J.... H....

    Very them crooked vultures sound from the guitars, is that jon Paul Jones sound , maybe his guitar or bass or something... love it

  85. R.... F....

    Its like EODM with better production.

    R.... F....

    And better songwriting. And better lyrics. And better vocals. And better musicianship.

  86. L.... R....

    Esse clip é maravilhoso! Kkkk

  87. j.... l....

    Craig Kilbourn seems pretty cool

  88. A.... M....

    His voice is so sexy that it works as a vibrator for your brain. When you listen to Homme's voice, the only thing that you want is to get laid.

  89. H.... B....

    4:10 is the musical equivalent of being on a trip. Just like the video. Its so stange to be heard in a kind of mainstream song. Im not complaining i love it.

  90. J.... W....

    I fuckin love when bands use dead space inbetween notes as part of the melody. So fuckin dope

  91. j.... r....

    still the best MV i've ever seen

  92. C.... ....

    better than hangover

  93. L.... .....

    At least I have the first three albums, and not the rest!

  94. M.... A....

    2:06-2:14 my favorite part of the video lol

  95. J.... K....

    sounds like queens of the ferdinand .....franz ferdinand and queens of the stone age .....love it

  96. S.... W....

    You got a killer scene there, man.

  97. J.... X....

    Josh’s Yakuza friends

  98. A.... T....

    Love this with all my heart ❣

  99. h.... l....
