Queens of the Stone Age › Lyrics › A Song for the Deaf

A song for the deaf, that is for you

Nobody's comin' down the hall
Everybody echoes in my head
Broken reflection outta luck
Nobody ever needed it

I got what was
I want to take what's left
I'm ready now

Beautiful senses are gone
Canary in a gilded cage
Singing

Sweet soft and low
I will poison you all
Come closer racing to your tongue

I got what was
I want to take what's left
No talk will cure, what's lost or save
What's left, for the deaf

The blind can go get f*****
Lie beside the ditch
This halo round my neck
Has torn out every stitch

Who are you hidin'?
Is it safe for the deaf?
Beautiful, cancer
infiltrate, and forget

Then I saw you comin'
Then I heard not a thing
A mistake not to listen
When I knew where you'd been?

I got what was
I want to take what's left
No talk will cure, what's lost or save
What's left, for the deaf

You're listening to W.A.N.T
The high desert favorite [Incomprehensible] radio station
It's been a good night, Dave catching here
Not saying goodnight, just saying
