This is about the terrorist attack at the Eagles of Death Metal show (Josh Homme is the studio drummer, though he was not in attendance) . Hundreds of audience members were killed or injured, and the band escaped unscathed.
[Verse 1]
Breaking zee chain in the lobby
An ocean of bodies, and then there's me
And I hope I'm not losing my life tonight
[Chorus 1]
And it's all about the hang
And it's all about the crowd that hangs
And it's all about the hook
Somebody is losing their life tonight
[Verse 2]
I followed my shadow and it lead me here
What is the problem if I disappear?
And I hope I'm not losing my life tonight
[Chorus 2]
And it's all about the edge
And it's all about the fans and kids
And it's all about the sex
And it's all about guns
[Bridge]
Yeah
I followed my shadow tonight
Out of the light
Yeah
I followed my shadow tonight
Out of the light
[Verse 3]
My shadow is walking in front of me
The longer the night, the shorter my leash
And it's a long, long night
And I hope I'm not losing my life tonight
[Chorus 3]
And it's all about the kicks
And it's all about the dancing pricks
And it's all about the clowns
And it's all about guns
[Bridge]
Yeah
I followed my shadow tonight
Out of the light
Yeah
I followed my shadow tonight
Out of the light
[Outro]
Out of the light
Get out of sight
Out of the light
Get out tonight
Out of the light
Get out of sight
Out of the light
Get out tonight
