“I Was A Teenage Hand Model” is the final song on Queens of the Stone Age’s debut album, and the second single from that record. It reportedly recounts a meeting writer Josh Homme had in a Seattle bar with a washed up loser.
[Intro]
Da-da-da, da-da-da
(One, two, five, nine)
[Verse 1]
Cozied up to the toilet, face stuck to the floor

Na-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah, na-ah, na
Na-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah, na-oh, oh
