Queens of the Stone Age put "Run Away From the Mob" on paper

The new lyric video's instrumental finish has listeners hearing echoes of Josh Homme's other projects, just before the promised album arrives.

Queens of the Stone Age - Run Away From the Mob (Lyric Video)

Green handwriting crosses a white, embossed card while Queens of the Stone Age supply something considerably less restrained on the soundtrack. Their new "Run Away From the Mob" lyric video keeps the pictures spare, leaving room for a driving rock arrangement that builds into an extended instrumental bridge.

The upload passed roughly 116,000 views in its opening ten hours, a pace well above the band's usual start. It arrives with an album close behind: the channel's own description promises a "Perfecth" album tomorrow.

There are no band members on screen, no performance footage and no elaborate narrative to follow. Instead, the handwritten words appear and dissolve against stationery bearing the band's emblem. The heavier second chorus gives way to a lengthy instrumental passage, then an outro that several commenters single out for discussion.

Those listeners are drawing a small family tree around the sound. Some hear Desert Sessions, Homme's collaborative recording project with a changing cast of musicians; another hears Them Crooked Vultures, the band he formed with Dave Grohl and John Paul Jones. Others connect the track to Queens' own ...Like Clockwork. These are listeners' reference points, not confirmed recording credits.

One recurring subject is the change of scale within the song: commenters point to the second half opening up and the closing breakdown. For all the movement they describe, the video itself stays with that quiet paper frame until the final notes fade.
