Them Crooked Vultures aka Dave Grohl (Foo Fighters), Joshua Homme (Queens of the Stone Age) and John Paul (Led Zepplin) Jones are furthering their treat-happy holiday spirit by offering up another song, “Mind Eraser, No Chaser” as a free download at iTunes. There's zero obligation to buy anything, and there are no strings attached - not even an email address is necessary. FREE. And the song kicks serious ass. 

A few days ago the band offered up a clip of “Gunman,” another track off their forthcoming eponymous album.

Additionally, “New Fang,” the first single from Them Crooked Vultures’ self-titled debut album due out November 17 in the United States and Canada on DGC/Interscope Records, was recently premiered and is currently streaming on MySpace. The track is also being offered as an instant download for all fans who pre-order the album on iTunes. The pre-order features two exclusive bonus tracks, live versions of "No One Loves Me & Neither Do I" and "Gunman," though you only get "Gunman" if you pre-order the full album.

The majority of the Vultures' first shows in California and the Pacific Northwest sold out in a number of hours. A few tickets are still available for November 19 at the Fox Theater in Oakland and November 21 at the Paramount in Seattle.

Because the lyrics are some of Josh Homme's most dynamic, as well as our tendency to go the extra mile, we've included them for you - courtesy of the diligent digital detectives over at the official Them Crooked Vultures forum. (They're also responsible for the tasteful top image)

Mind Eraser, No Chaser lyrics:

You got a long face-lift

If it kills, I got news, it ain't a side-effect

Call it a full reject or

Fuel injected, time-corrected, teenage obstacle

All I wanna do is have my mind-erased

We're begging you, pleading you, stop coma-teasing us all

Drug company where's a pill for me

I call it mind eraser, no chaser

.... need of everything

Law abiding dick riding fun police leave us alone

Drawing up the edge of a razor blade

What does it mean when the knife and hand are your own

Gimme the reason why the mind's a terrible thing to waste

Understanding is cruel the monkey said as it launched to space

Know that I'm gonna be your dangerous side-effect

Ignorance is bliss until they take your bliss away

Robotic mambo me

D.I.Y kit lobotomy it's a

Tuck taste dance craze movie of the week

You buy the doll, kick up the bowl then piss on the sheets

All I wanna do is have my mind-erased

We're begging you, pleading you, stop coma-teasing us all

Drug company where's a pill for me

I call it mind eraser, no chaser with bright lights

.... need of everything

New age goose-step on a karma collision

Drawing up the edge of a razor blade

What does it mean when the knife and hand are your own

Uh, your own, your own!

Gimme the reason why the mind's a terrible thing to waste

Undestanding is cruel the monkey said as it launched to space

You know that I'm gonna be your dangerous side-effect

Ignorance is bliss until they take your bliss away

Gimme the reason why the mind's a terrible thing to waste

You know that I am your dangerous side effect

You know that I am your dangerous side effect

Let me tell you save it, you see I don't give a shit
