No Picture Diego Wanna Be	#1 by Diego Rodriguez at Jun 20, 1976 at 9:05 AM EST
	Really reminds me of Black Sabbath's Planet Caravan.

No Picture Shotgun Average	#2 by Shotgun Joe at Mar 18, 1978 at 3:55 AM EST
	i think the song is about "spacing out" on drugs, because that's what a space cadet is-a slang term for that. and i think-yes-the term "earth acid" is like mushrooms. it's about just spacin' out on natural shit.

No Picture Harvey Rhythm Player	#3 by Harvey Puentes at Apr 2, 1987 at 2:21 AM EST
	I think it's about him being in touch with the planet. Saying screw it to women and sex and loving his planetm he'd rather sleep with it. There's no hassle with fucking the world, no need to cum.

No Picture Bodom Lake Murd Average	#4 by Bodom Lake Murderer at Dec 9, 1991 at 8:16 PM EST
	I think you're all wrong. He does say room and not womb. He also says "Calms" not "Comes" or "Cums." It's very possible this song is about a woman, or a past relationship and he's very lonely. The quick pace of the world never lets him settle, or anyone else for that matter, the world it never calms.

No Picture scotty 2 hotty Rhythm Player	#5 by scotty 2 hotty at Jun 16, 1995 at 9:19 PM EST
	It never comes.... cums?

No Picture Tony Average	#6 by Tony Riemer at Nov 6, 1996 at 9:00 PM EST
	I totally agree with rottenseed, but I do like the other explanation that everyone else has come up with. Josh Homme is quite the advocate of marijuana and mushrooms so it makes perfect sense. Also, he's a 'Space Cadet' because he's either really high or likes to get really high if anybody didn't make that connection.
