[Verse 1: Josh Homme]
Is there anyone out there?
Or am I walking alone?
When I turned around and found that you'd gone
Before the first rain could fall

[Pre-Chorus: Josh Homme]
It seems every single time I was bleeding
Broken promises that never came true
Well, it ain't so long before the dawn
When the sun is gone, well, so are
Well, so are you

[Chorus: Josh Homme & Elton John]
So what's it gonna take
To get you back in bed?
Gossips, frauds, or snakes
They're just our best fairweather friends (Fairweather friends)
Fairweather friends (Fairweather friends)

[Verse 2: Josh Homme]
One day, when we're far away
From everything that hurts
Drink wine and screw is all we'll do
Every day (Yeah)

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus: Josh Homme, Elton John, Trent Reznor, Josh Homme & Elton John]
So what's it gonna take
To get you back in bed?
Gossips, frauds, or snakes
They're just our best fairweather friends (Fairweather friends)
You know the hour's late (You're under blue sky)
Don't let 'em in your head (Fairweather friends) (You're under)
I'm gonna pray for rain again and again
Fairweather friends
Fairweather friends

[Outro: Josh Homme]
Fairwe–
I don't give a shit about them anyhow

Founded back in 1996 after the separation of Kyuss, Josh Homme embarked upon a mission to bring Desert Rock to the frontier of music.

Since their creation, they have gone through various line-ups and more musical styles and moods, ranging from electronic robot rock (Era Vulgaris), dark and sexy (Lullabies to Paralyze), cathartic, (…Like Clockwork) and robotic dance rock with their 2017 release (Villains).

Throughout the years, their lineup has included many notable musicians, including Mark Lanegan and Dave Grohl.
