This cover of
David Bowie's
song fits well with Kurt Cobain because both of them struggled with their own self-identities at some moments in their lives.
Some of these lyrics are based on a poem by Hugh Mearns called "The Psychoed".
Chad Channing, Nirvana's drummer from 1988-1990, introduced Kurt Cobain and Krist Novoselic to David Bowie's music.
Dave Grohl, Krist Novoselic and Pat Smear joined

He drove so god-damned fast
Never did win no checkered flag
But he never did come in last
Jerry was a race car driver
He'd say "El Sob number one"
With a...
Queens Of The Stone Age - "I Sat By The Ocean"
I sat by the ocean
And drank a potion, baby, to erase you
Face down in the boulevard
Yet, I couldn't face you
There ain't no use in crying
It doesn't change anything
So, baby, what good does it do?...
