Lyrics   status: confirmed

Hey hey where you going in such a hurry?
Take it easy girl and tell me a story
Move on over here, slow it down
Tell me why you're being run out of town

I don't give a fuck
Why everybody thinks you should shut up
Everybody's freaked cuz everybody knows
That you're the queen of NO NO NO NO NO
NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO

Hey hey where you going in such a rush?
Hey girl I think they think you know too much
They can't catch you with me
Cuz I move too slow
Slow enough to know
That you're gonna have to go

I don't really care
Why the bullshit artists sit and stare
They can never find out
About me and the queen of NO NO NO NO NO
NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO

I don't really care
Why the bullshit artists sit and stare
They can't ever find out
About me and the queen of NO NO NO NO NO
NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO
NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO
NO NO NO NO NO NO NO...

NOTES:

• Working Title: "Voidoid"
• Lee's comments on the recording of this track from 11/95 Guitar Player article: "The first minute or two of that song -- where all the scratchy stuff is happening -- that's an 8-track demo. And then right as it kicks into the song proper, it's cross-faded to the 16-track mix. At the beginning it's pretty ratty and lo-fi, but as the first vocal hits, just about all the instrumentation except my guitar becomes 16-track. For the first verse, we kept my 8-track lead lines. When the second verse hits, I'm back in the 16-track domain as well, so another tonal shift happens. I'm really proud of the way we managed to seam that one together."
• The outro features Steve banging away at a cracked cymbal on top of a conga.
