Lyrics for Era Vulgaris as interpreted by michaeldoyle

Era Vulgaris Lyrics
I play a game 'til I'm dead
Or on a magazine
I wanna look like I'm dead
Dancing on a string
I eat the food when it's there
Make a mess of things
Get that look everywhere
But keep that look off my face

Everybody else wanna fall in love
There's no room for love
In a modern sky
Living in the era vulgaris
Just drool in the dark as you stare at the lights

From a crumbling tower
I see everything
London, Tokyo
New York City
There's no love
There's no love
There's no love
Any place

Everybody else wanna fall in love
There's no room for love
In a modern sky
Living in the era vulgaris
Just drool in the dark as you stare at the lights

All we creatures
Helplessly attacking repetition
Over, over
Left with who we are
Did you tell anyone
Did you tell any place

Everybody else wanna fall in love
There's no room for love
In a modern sky
Living in the era vulgaris
Just drool in the dark as you stare at the lights
I'm done, I'm done, I'm done
Living in the era vulgaris
Just drool in the dark as you stare at the lights

Just stare at the lights
Just stare at the lights
Just stare at the lights

On the "All we creatures" verse you can clearly hear Reznor.

Fix the lyrics, it isn't
"Da-da da-da..."
It's:
"There, I'm done, I'm done, I'm done, I'm done, I'm done, I'm done, I'm done...

Excellent. Love the way guitars and drums trick (before first chorus).. I don't know why - it's sucha small thing, but..

Btw.. those sounds at the end remind me Lostzilla ;D
I wonder if Josh&co are fans of Lost

@michael

it sounds to me more logical the da-da-da, and it also sounds like I'm done...

Anyone who's read anything about this album or song should know that Era Vulgaris actually means The Common Erain Latin; but just because it's the common era doesn't mean that it's any less vulgar, or that we're any less a part or even the cause of it.

"I play a game 'til I'm dead
Or on a magazine"

This whole song is a failure of our culture...

Pretty much...

Everybody else wanna fall in love
There's no room for love
In a modern sky
Living in the era vulgaris
Just drool in the dark as you stare at the lights

Everybody wanna fall in live ? Theres no love ? Well no shit ! This 'love' is drunk bitches with stds...

In "A modern sky" Living in the age of excess ??

Well hey buddy...Josh Homme says:

'Just drool in the dark as you stare at the lights'

and he might just have a point...

Has anyone heard the Richard File Remix or this song?
It's on the Germany Special Edition thing.
It's pretty good.
But the chorus is left out.

This song was about Hollywood. Where josh homme found his inspiration for the album (Era Vulgaris) the dark culture of a shallow civilization

I think it's "I eat the food when it's dead", not "there"
