The Evil Has Landed Lyrics

[Intro]
Close
Come close

[Verse 1]
Going on a living spree
Any wanna come with me
You don't wanna miss your chance
Near life experience

Faces making noise
Say, "be good girls and boys"
It ain't half empty or full
You can break the glass, or drink it all
Dig it?

[Chorus]
Close
Come close
Close
Come close

[Verse 2]
A grand macabaret
The last float on parade
As they sweep right up behind
Every puzzle [peace of mind / piece of mine]
Handshake and facade
Play the fool or playing God
Just for God's sake play along
Or well, you can hum along
Hit it

Du-du-du-du-duah!
Dudududu-duuu-du-du
Du-du-du-du-duah!
Dudududu-duuu-du-du
Du-du-du-du-duuu

[Bridge]
Diving, falling, no longer different
I fall beyond definitions now
Unless...

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
Close
Come close
Close
Come close

[Verse 3]
Going on a living spree
You really wanna come with me
Ain't gonna miss the chance
Near life experience

[Bridge]
We're all a little tangled
Corroded and mangled, yeah
But I'm for letting go
Yeah, I'm for letting go
Yeah, I'm for letting go
Yeah, I'm for letting go

Here.. we..

[Outro]
.. come!
Here we come
Here we come
Here we come
Get outta' the way
Here we come
Get outta' the way
Matters not, what the people say
Matters not, what the people say
'Cause here we come
Here we come
Here we come
Get outta the way
Look out

What did Queens of the Stone Age say about "The Evil Has Landed"?

From an interview with The Wall Street Journal in August 2017:

The squirming fuzz-guitar line on new single “The Evil Has Landed” dates back 15 years, Josh says, but he and his bandmates only recently nailed it down.

It was tied with monofilament lines to my brain, just dragging on the ocean floor...

Why does the verse change ever so slightly?

Josh explained this in an interview with NPR in August 2017:

There’s something that was really important to me and that I explained to Mark, and that the guys knew early, is that many songs are like a merry-go-round. When the chorus comes back around you’ve heard it, you’re familiar with it, it’s t...

I thought that in the outro, Josh Homme was saying "Here we go."

According to the lyric sheets that come with the vinyl, it’s definitely “Here we come.”
