Sorry dudes, don't know the lyrics for this one! They don't include it 
with the CD.
-----------------------------------------------
What up dudes! This is one of the baddest songs on the Deftones 
Adrenaline album. For this song you gotta have that chunky distortion 
sound for the chorus and fill parts.  Also this song calls for some 
flange/chorus during the intro and bridge part. I didn't get around to 
putting out the oder, so listen for them on the album.
If you want to request another song to be transcribed, email me.
