Reptiles Them Crooked Vultures

[Verse 1: Josh Homme]
I tried to make a break, what a fool
I should've known, I never listen
I'm in a cage, an animal, I'm in a cage

[Hook 1: Josh Homme]
But the reptiles, they won't let me go
I think they want you to stray

[Verse 2: Josh Homme]
Watch the monkey dance, give him a taste
Look at him, he's always smiling
Help me to escape, your mouth agape, you foreign tourist

[Hook 2: Josh Homme]
Woe is me, it will be a funeral
A circus, I'll rap on the cell door

[Pre-Chorus: Josh Homme with Dave Grohl]
Questions are a fire that needs feeding to survive
So just you let those flames die down

[Chorus: Josh Homme with Dave Grohl]
Trained by consequence and the lash, it leaves me breathless
Their praise is a poison to us all
In the moonlight their scars flash like jewelry
Get too precious, get locked up in a cage
