[TheKeefmaster]

Don't plan on marrying baby
I'll get you what you need
Not too far to go on
Not too far to bleed
You can ask for pims in your head
You can ask for symmetrical planning
You can ask for tortuous membrane
You can ask for orange juice frozen
Oooh you
You can ask for any old woman
You can ask for an army of ants
You can ask for a pillar of poison
You can ask for sheep and shavers
And you can die for
Be careful what you wish for
Be careful what you wish for

[MemorySpark]

It took me eight years to realize this, but the left and right ears are different tracks. They're both playing the same thing, but they're different recording takes. You can hear slight differences in the feedback and strumming patterns.

[Irredeemablepostman]

The greatest song ever conceived. Ben shepherd on bass with Joshh homme. God lord!

[MrSigbjorntrumbaugh]

They really should start doing this one live - qotsa, that is - and transition to My God Is The Sun.

[maskcollector]

Listened to this between every class for a couple of years in high school. Great times, matched the hallway chaos.

[connor]

So heavy but ethereal at the same time

[cherryblossomed]

One of my all time favourites for life. This is TIMELESS

[Chris-gpe]

I can’t listen to this anywhere but YouTube. I love it and I wish I could add it to my playlist 😓

[dftns]

If I havent commented this on every iteration of this song on youtube, it's one of my absolute favorites of all time. Just perfect.

[hardrocker]

Possibly my favourite desert sessions song

[benthomas]

I don't know what time it was, had to wear a watch. So good to be an ant that crawls atop a spinning rock.

[pameladeering]

I never get tired of this song. It is perfect.

[LucianaMoletta]

my favorite from the desert sessions (a toss between this and crawl home/ there will never be a better time)

[usernamedenied]

Kids... rock and roll is not about going 100mph, it's this... does Josh sing "you could ask for orange frozen juice" ...yes he does, but everyone still knows the Andre the Giant 'OBEY' logo, could have been a masterpiece, but to some it's a prefect image of a vibe, pure rock and roll

[skoobie]

Somehow they make two different drum takes work at the same time.

[kent]

Fuck, this song is sick! As soon as it's over, I just want to restart it!

[octopuses_]

Holding out for a re-record or new live version of this song!

[spkyaction]

Both the progression and drums are different from My God Is the Sun. I'm a drummer and don't really see the connection. Plus, this recording was made with two drummers playing at the same time- Gene Trautmann and Adam Maples.

[robwalsh]

I prefer the heavier QOTSA version with John McBain, but this still kicks ass.

All wished delivered... Paid upon arrival.... Through rain, hail, sleet, snow and shine.... WE CARRY NEWS THAT MUST GET THROUGH.... TO BUILD A DREAM FOR ME AND YOU.... 1976/???!
