One inch man, lonely soul
Two inch man, two inch man, gimme more
Five steps back, get him back
Three steps up, get him up
Always so lonely, lonely, lonely
Always so lonely, lonely, lonely
One inch man, lonely soul
Two inch man, gimme more, more, more, more
Always so lonely, lonely, lonely
Once inch man he's so lonely, oh he's breathin'
Down my vice (??), do you really want to fuck me
Not my time (type?), do you really want to hold me
Am I time (type?), do you really want to hold me
Love my time (type?), do you really want to hold me
Always so lonely, once inch man, he's breathin'
Always so lonely, lonely, lonely
Once inch man, he's so lonely, oh!
Two inch man, two inch man, gimme more
Five steps back, get him back
Three steps up, get him up
Always so lonely, lonely, lonely
Always so lonely, lonely, lonely
One inch man, lonely soul
Two inch man, gimme more, more, more, more
Always so lonely, lonely, lonely
Once inch man he's so lonely, oh he's breathin'
Down my vice (??), do you really want to fuck me
Not my time (type?), do you really want to hold me
Am I time (type?), do you really want to hold me
Love my time (type?), do you really want to hold me
Always so lonely, once inch man, he's breathin'
Always so lonely, lonely, lonely
Once inch man, he's so lonely, oh!

Two Inch Man, Two Inch Man, gimme more (he's had a sex "fix" and becomes two inch man).
This man is not into love in the true sense. His relationships are about sex. His feelings of self worth are based on "scoring" sexually. He's never anything higher than two inch man for this reason. He's a "small" individual because of this maladjusted behavior, whether he scores or not.
He's a womanizer using women for sex. He becomes temporarily gratified and moves onto the next one:
Five steps back, get him back (he's moved onto another woman)
Three steps up, get him up (give him an erection)
He doesn't know about love and none of his "relationships" are long and so he's "Always so lonely, lonely, lonely
Always so lonely, lonely, lonely"
Damn my thoughts for you, do you really wanna fuck me? (I want no deep thoughts for you or of you, I just want to use you for sex).
Love my time for you, do you really wanna hold me? (He thinks he's a sex god).
Had my time for you, do you really wanna hold me? (Times up, I'm moving on).
Love my time for you, do you really wanna? (I'm a sex god so love the time spent in my company)
Always so lonely, Once Inch Man, he's breathin' - his lifestyle gives him no real sustenance. All he can do is just about "breathe" after scoring.
One Inch Man, [lonely] soul.
Two Inch Man gimme more.
Five steps and back, get him back.
Three steps and/enough, get him up
(Initially he feels lonely with no desire at all, suddenly he realizes of someone who turns him on [from one to two inches and wanting more]. Then he tries to get closer to this person but then regrets [5 steps and back], three steps are enough to get "him" up again)
Always so lonely, lonely, lonely (X3). X2
(The guy begins to feel bad about it and kind of curses his own behavior)
Oh, one Inch Man,
A lonely soul.
Yeah, yeah,
Two Inch Man,
Gimme more (X4).
(Pretty much the same as in the first verses)
Always so lonely, lonely, lonely.
One Inch Man, he's so lonely, oh, he's breathing.
(he's lonely but he's alive after all)
Damn my thoughts for you, do you really wanna fuck me?
Love my time for you, do you really wanna hold me?
[Ain't the type] for you? Do you really wanna hold me?
Love my time for you, do you really wanna?
(The guy has strong feelings for that someone but he doesn't feel confident to show them. First he's upset [Damn my thoughts], then he makes up an excuse [I ain't the type for you] but in the end he's giving the other person the responsability of the final decision [of fucking, holding, anything])
Always so lonely, one Inch Man, he's breathing.
Always so lonely (X3), one Inch Man, he's so lonely, oh!
The same as above
I think Kyuss lyrics are kind of like Sabbath lyrics around the Vol.4 album: John/Ozzy were so stoned, detached and/or far out that their lyrics always defy interpretation.
Damn my thoughts for you
Love my time for you
Am I time for you
Here someone does want to fuck the one inch man, but he's creating a problem where none exists, and ends up lonely. His partner is happy spending time/loving/being loved by the one inch man, but he's questioning that because he has a small dick.
So, in brief, its about creating problems for yourself by not accepting your short (ahem) comings.
just a thought
This song rocks.
But then again, it's Kyuss, and was probably written when high.
One Inch Man, he's so lonely, oh, he's breathing.
Damn my thoughts for you, do you really wanna fuck me?
Love my time for you, do you really wanna hold me?
Am I time for you? Do you really wanna hold me?
Love my time for you, do you really wanna?
and in the beginning "get him up"
yeah, kyuss best band ever!!
