If I Had a Tail lyrics

[Verse 1: Josh Homme]
Gitchy, gitchy, ooh la-la
Do run-run, you won't get far
I'm machine, obsolete
The land of the free lobotomy
I wanna suck, I wanna lick
I wanna cry and I wanna spit
Tears of pleasure, tears of pain
They trickle down your face the same
It's how you look, not how you feel
A city of glass with no heart

[Chorus: Josh Homme]
If I had a tail, I'd own the night
If I had a tail, I'd swat the flies
(Uh-uh-uh-uh) Yeah, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
(Uh-uh-uh-uh) Yeah, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

[Verse 2: Josh Homme]
Gitchy, gitchy, ooh la-la
Do run-run, you won't get far
Animals in the midnight zone
When you own the world, you're always home
Get your hands dirty, roll up them sleeves
Brainwashed or true believers
Buy flash cars, diamond rings
Expensive holes to bury things
I'm machine, I'm obsolete
In the land of the free immortality
[Chorus: Josh Homme]
If I had a tail, I'd own the flies
If I had a tail, I'd swat the flies
(Uh-uh-uh-uh) Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
(Uh-uh-uh-uh) Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-ah-oh-ah, oh-oh

[Post-Chorus: Josh Homme]
Ah-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ah-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

[Bridge: Josh Homme]
(Uh-uh-uh-uh, uh-uh, uh-uh, uh-uh) See me dancing on the scars?
(Uh-uh-uh-uh, uh-uh, uh-uh, uh-uh) See me dance?
Ah-ooh
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

[Outro: Alex Turner & Nick Oliveri]
If I had a tail, I will control the night
If I had a tail, I will control the night
(If I had a tail, I will control the night)
If I had a tail, I will control the night
(When we have a tail, we will control)
