I Know, I know the sun is hot
Mosquitoes come to suck your blood
Leave you there all alone
Just skin and bone
When you walk among the trees
Listening to the leaves
The further I go the less I know
The less I know
Where will you run?
Where will you hide?
Lullabies to paralyze
Fat and soft, pink and weak
Foot and thigh, tongue and cheek
You know I'm told to swallow you whole
Skin and bone
Cutting boards and hanging hooks
Bloody knives, cooking books
Promising you won't feel a thing
at all
Swallow and chew
Eat you alive
All of us food , that hasn't died
And the life says
Simmering pick and pluck
Tenderize bone to dust
The sweetest grease, finest meat you'll ever taste
(Taste, taste)
So you scream, whine, and yell
Supple sounds of dinner bell
We all will feed the worms and trees So don't be shy
Swallow and chew
Eat you alive
All of us food, that hasn't died

Review about Mosquito Song All of us food...... | Reviewer: Pura Vida | 10/21/09
This is just a really good example of how really good music is composed,also inspires so many feelings at the same time;explains that it doesn´t matter what you are or who you are, at the end we´re all gonna be dust, so don´t be conceited about it.

Just an amazing song and totally QOTSA
Mosquito Song is one of the few songs that means much to me. I think if my life would be a story it should be called "The mosquito song", i connect so strong to the lyrics and especially the melodies.
For me it is about how small we really are. Its ironic, bitter, and yet beautiful.
"Bloody knives, cooking books
Promising you won't feel a thing"
Means to me how much we lie to ourselves: We see that it is going to hurt, hurt a lot. But we still believe the promise that its all fine.
I think the "eaten alive"-theme is very QOTSA like, just look at the Sick Sick Sick video.
Great song! | Reviewer: Suv | 3/6/09
This is a quality track from QOTSA and in my opinion its one of those tracks of their's that's slightly off the beaten path of what they generally do but is totally QOTSA at the same time. I always think it fits better into the 'Lullabies To Paralyze' album tbh. Anyway, i love it and enjoy playing and singing it when i have a jam on my guitar...in fact im thinkin i might even play it as a solo encore track at my bands gig tomorrow night.
Inspiration wise, musically parts of it reminds me of music from old westerns but thats just my opinion...lyrically it could just be inspired by being high when they wrote it lol...i really dont know lol.
Btw i have the proper tab book for 'Songs For The Deaf' and there's a few mistakes in these lyrics so i'll submit the changes when i get a chance ok. As an example it actually starts with...'I know, I know' instead of 'Hello, Hello' but there's a chance that Josh changes bits when its played live tbh.
I agree whole-heartedly with the other posts. QOTSA is one of the best bands out there today, and they have roots. I have always wondered what the inspiration was for this song. Anybody know or have a guess?
Sheer beauty at it's best. | Reviewer: Jessica | 9/19/08
This is one song [along with other QOTSA songs] that I can never get enough of. I can't even begin to explain how beautiful this song is, yet so creepy as others have stated. It's really just a masterpiece and while I love QOTSA wholeheartledly and all of their albums, I'd have to say Songs For the Deaf & their self-titled are my favorites. Now, if only they'd come to concert around my area... hehe.
:)

Undeniably the greatest rock band today....
Maybe I could go as far to say The Beatles of this era..
Josh Homme simply cannot write a bad album, and I am sure that he has many more to come....
if you have to ask....... | Reviewer: Anonymous | 6/14/07
creepy, epic and rocking all the things that make a good qotsa song
