Keep Your Eyes Peeled Lyrics

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
Don't look, just keep your eyes peeled
Thoughtless, traipsing my mind's field
Shotgun, never behind the wheel (Anymore)
Danger, monsters of smoke and mirror
Slowly, can one so lost be found?

[Chorus]
Well, I know you'll never believe
I play as though I'm alright
If life is but a dream
Then wake me up


[Verse 2]
Fallen leaves realize they are no friend of autumn
The view from Hell is blue sky
So ominously blue
Daydream until all the blue is gone


[Chorus]
Well, I know you'll never believe
I play as though I'm alright
If life is but a dream
Wake me!

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

The opening track to Queens of the Stone Age’s sixth album …Like Clockwork, “Keep Your Eyes Peeled,” deals with emotions centered around a distorted, negative mentality or alternative reality. The narrator lives in this reality, taking all at face value as it is all they know.
