Diamond Eyes (album) lyrics. *spoiler*

[SX King]

Props i been dying to know the actual lyrics

[Dienekes]

I am digging the lyrics to Royal. Sounds like someone who wants to be taken away from the earth by aliens.

[fetisher]

The images are blocked for me (at work).  D'oh.

[fetisher]

Man, now that I see the official lyrics, I kind of prefer the ones I thought I was hearing. 

And there are (as has been mentioned) major grammatical errors.  I have to wonder how much of this comes straight from the artist.

[SX King]

What is Chino's obsession with waves?

[Slacker]

awesome post with the scans, i gonna have such a blast reading them tomorrow.

[Moz]

What is Chino's obsession with waves?

they're on earth, another obsession of him

[anguria]

What is Chino's obsession with waves?

I don't think he likes surfing...

[slyartwork]

Somone, feel free to type out the lyrics from the scans! ;-)

[m1nusblindfoLd]

Wow lovin' all the lyrics, especially Royal. And I had no fuckin idea he was saying "Straight, out of your mind.." in CMND/CTRL...so SIIICKK!!!!!!
(even though apparently some of you guys had guessed that in the attempts here in the earlier pages lol, just saw that..)

[Deftones-argentina]

Two things about the record's lyrics:

That last thing put in This place is death is strange (xxxxx...), that must be chino's idea.
I HOPE HE DOESN'T MENTION WAVES OR EARTH ON EROS. (at least more than once or twice...or Thrice..)

[sing blue silver]

it IS supposed to say "your crack a smile and wave doesn't scare me away" in 976-EVIL. not a typo.

there is only one typo/grammatical error

sorry about the double post. fucking ps3 typing.

Somone, feel free to type out the lyrics from the scans! ;-)

YOUVE SEEN THE BUTCHER

dont wanna take it slow
i wanna take you home
and watch the world explode
from underneath your glow

i wanna watch the way!
you creep across my skull!

you slowly enter
cause you know my room
and then you crawl your knees off
before you shake my tomb

i wanna watch you close
i need to see for sure
after the tape is <through>
who do you think we can show?

i wanna watch the way!
you creep across my skull!

you slowly enter
cause you know my room
and then you crawl your knees off
and then you shake my tomb

i wanna watch the way!
you creep across my skull!

you
slowly enter
cause you know my room
and then you crawl your knees off
before you shake my tomb

you enter slowly
you know my room
you crawl your knees off
and then you shake my tomb

BEAUTY SCHOOL

i like you, when
when you take off your face
put away all your teeth
and take us way underneath
cause you could die if you take it alone

i watch you taste it
i see your face
and i know im alive
youre shooting stars
from the barrel of your eyes
it drives me crazy
just drives me wild

i kinda like you, when
when you make up the reel
(take the phone in your room)
stop the tape
or resume
well you could try
if you think it
will load

i watch you taste it
i see your face
and i know im alive
youre shooting stars
from the barrel of your eyes
it drives me crazy
it drives me wild

everytime
everytime (you drive)
wild...
its a beautiful
ride
wild...
its a beautiful
ride
ride...

i watch you taste it
i see your face
and i know im alive
youre shooting stars
from the barrel of your eyes
it drives me crazy
just drives me wild

PRINCE

i relate to your kind
your design (your devotion to wave)
(get - get get) get your brain on the prize
then dive
inside!

the mindset
of a killer
with your mind
out of phase

its a game that we like
we crave (yet - nobody wins)
any way you decide
you try
but you die!

the mindset
of the killer
with your gaze
you paint the room

blood red
with tears
pouring from the stage

and you cant stop now!
rung by rung!
almost out!

covered in black and gold!
no one cares!
no one knows!

my gift to the world outside!
its ok!
im alright!

now open your empty hands!
here comes the fun!
here comes the end!

click "erase the device"
give thanks (then you clear out the room)
blow kisses, wave them goodbye
good night!

(good)
(night)
(good night!)

mindset
of the killer
with your gaze
you paint the room

blood red
with tears
pouring from the stage

and you cant stop now!
rung by rung!
almost out!

covered in black and gold!
no one cares!
no one knows!

my gift to the world outside!
its ok!
im alright!

now open your empty hands!
here comes the fun!
here comes the end!

in this sea of charms
lets drown

lets drink
with out weapons in our hands
lets sleep, in this trance

knives!

youre red
soaking wet
im right next to you
youre red

976-EVIL

for a thousand days
youve been staring away
are you phased?
are you thinking?

crack a smile... and wave...
it, doesnt scare me away
hit the brakes
i feel like
crusing you
to you...

so i gaze (in your eyes)
and i wonder
can you take
me on?
your haze (your hands)
that im under
come and wake
me up...

...soon

take a bow and wave
as we carried away
it was great
but im not leaving

crack a smile... and wave...
(still)
dosent scare me away
hit the brakes
i feel like
crusing you
to you...

so i gaze (in your eyes)
and i wonder
can you take
me on?
your haze (your hands)
that im under
come and wake
me up...

for a thousand days
(we)
could get carried away
are you in?

are you in?... (are you in?)
are you in?...
(i feel like)
(i fell like crusing you)

so i gaze (in your eyes)
and i wonder
can you take
me on?
your haze (your hands)
that im under
come and wake
so i gaze (in your eyes)
and i want her
can you take
me on?

THIS PLACE IS DEATH

you arrive!
in my dream
beside me every night
you and me
we explode
through scene
we try to drain the night
empty

no one goes off in every way
like you do...

we got out together
we weave our own web
tangled in the ways with you
we spray the scene in red

we both erupt in colors
and carve our names
you keep me aroused
i know you
feel the same

you arrive!
in my dream
beside me every night
just you and me
we explode
through the scene
we try to drain the night
empty

no one else has a hold over me
like you do...

you open up the covers
you lure me in
tackle me anxious
back into bed
where i hope to discover
all of your waves
this place is death
i know you
feel the same

you arrived
in my dream
beside me every night
just you and me
we explode
through the scene
we try to drain the night

every way...

[sing blue silver]

^thank you!

[Dienekes]

So wait. You know those are wrong, right? Are these just your version? I guess I don't understand...

[Slacker]

So wait. You know those are wrong, right? Are these just your version? I guess I don't understand...

no. i trascribe them from the booklet. just read em, i think its a pretty good fit.

[SX King]

Ok i know this im just being overly critical here but this is really bothering the hell out of me. In 976-EVIL on the your crack a smile and wave parts, i never hear Chino say Your once. Theres some other little things 2 but there even smaller and i know that singers dont always sing word for word what they wrote. I'm just sayin..lol not complaining just wondering if anyone else notices.

[deftoolsys07]

Man, now that I see the official lyrics, I kind of prefer the ones I thought I was hearing. 

And there are (as has been mentioned) major grammatical errors.  I have to wonder how much of this comes straight from the artist.

chino told me when SNW came out that the lyrics were way off in the booklet.. so i don't think they come from him... but on this record it could be different...

[slyartwork]

Thanks for the lyrics!
