“Rocket Skates” is the 1st single released for Diamond Eyes.
Lead singer Chino Moreno told Spin magazine this is one of his favorite tracks off of Diamond Eyes. He said it is a “heavier” tune with “beautiful yet violent imagery,” that has a vibe similar to “Knife Party”.
[Verse 1]
You're red, soaking wet
I'm right next to you
You're red, soaking wet
Let's writhe, let me see you trip
One move that will keep you wet
Let's fall in a long sadistic trance
Put the keys in our hands
[Chorus]
Guns, razors, knives
Fuck with me
Guns, razors, knives
[Verse 2]
You're red, soaking wet
I'm right next to you
You're red, soaking wet
Let's sail in this sea of charms
Let's drown underneath the stars
Let's drink with our weapons in our hands
Let's sleep in this trance
[Chorus]
Guns, razors, knives
Fuck with me
Guns, razors, knives
[Bridge]
You're red, soaking wet
I'm right next to you
You're red, soaking wet
[Chorus]
Guns, razors, knives
Fuck with me
Guns, razors, knives
[Outro]
Woo!
You're red soaking wet
I'm right next to you
You're red soaking wet
I'm right next to you
You're red soaking wet
