"Make Yourself" (1999)




Privilege lyrics - Incubus

Isn't it strange that a gift could be an enemy 
Isn't it weird that a privilege could feel like a chore 
Maybe its me, but this line isn't going anywhere 
Maybe if we looked hard enough we could find a back door 
Find yourself a back door 
I see you in line dragging your feet 
You have my sympathy 
The day you were born you were born free 
That is your privilege 
Isn't it strange that the man standing in front of me 
Doesn't have a clue why he's waiting or what he's waiting for 
Maybe its me but I'm sick of wasting energy 
Maybe if I look in my heart, I can find a back a door 
Find yourself a back door 
I see you in line dragging your feet 
You have my sympathy 
The day you were born you were born free 
That is your 
That is your privilege 
Find yourself a back door 
I see you in line dragging your feet 
You have my sympathy 
The day you were born you were born free 
That is your privilege 
I see you in line dragging your feet 
You have my sympathy 
The day you were born you were born free 
That is your 
That is your privilege

Nowhere Fast lyrics - Incubus

Will I ever get to, to where it is that I am going 
Will I ever follow through with what I... with what I have planned 
I guess it's possible, that I have been a bit distracted 
And the directions for me are a lot less in demand. 
In demand. 
Will I ever get to where I'm going 
If I do will I know when I'm there 
If the wind blew me in the right direction. Yeah 
Would I even care 
I would. 
I take a look around, it's evident the scene has changed. 
And there are times when I feel improved, improved upon the past. 
And there are times when I can't seem to understand at all. 
And yes it seems as though I'm going nowhere really fucking fast. 
Nowhere fast. 
Will I ever get to where I'm going 
If I do will I know when Im there 
If the wind blew me in the right direction. Yeah 
Would I even care 
I would. 
I would. 
I would. 
Will I ever get to where I'm going 
If I do, will I know when I am there 
If the wind blew me in the right direction. Yeah 
Would I even care 
I would. 
I would. 
I would. 
I would. 
I would.

Consequence lyrics - Incubus

You blink and you miss a beat, keep one of your eyes open at all times 
You think that your on the brink, the shit hasn't even begun to hit the fan 
The consequence you'll see will be stranger than a gang of drunken mimes 
The situation has a stink better clear the air before your son becomes a man 
We all want something we know can not have...have 
You think everything's been augmented that you have been left so far behind 
I think for sure next time you should wear a pair of eyes in the back of your head 
The consequence you've seen has been stranger than Sci-Fi of any kind 
The situation baffles me, I guess its true you too are one of the walking dead 
Better think fast, think fast, cuz you never know what's coming round the bend 
You better not blink, don't blink, the consequence is a bigger word than you think 
Its bigger than you or me, You or me, You or me 
You or me 
Better think fast, think fast, cuz you never know what's coming round the bend 
You better not blink, don't blink, the consequence is a bigger word than you think 
Its bigger than you or me, You or me, You or me

The Warmth lyrics - Incubus

I'd like to close my eyes and go numb 
But there's a cold wind coming from 
The top of the highest high rise today 
Its not a breeze cuz it blows hard 
Yes and it wants me to discard 
The humanity I know, watched the warmth blow away 
So don't let the world bring you down 
Not everyone here is that fucked up and cold 
Remember why you came and while you're alive 
Experience the warmth before you grow old 
So do you think I should adhere 
To that pressing new frontier 
And leave in my wake, a trail of fear 
Should I hold my head up high 
And throw a wrench and spokes by 
I'm leaving the air behind me clear 
So don't let the world bring you down 
Not everyone here is that fucked up and cold 
Remember why you came and while you're alive 
Experience the warmth before you grow old 
So don't let the world bring you down 
Not everyone here is that fucked up and cold 
Remember why you came and while you're alive 
Experience the warmth before you grow old 
Before you grow old

When It Comes lyrics - Incubus

It's coming around again 
They're letting it out again, again 
It's coming around again 
They're letting it out again, again 
It's coming around again 
They're letting it out again, again 
It's coming around again 
They're letting it out again 
When it comes, it comes abrupt 
And it feels, it feels like trading brains with an imbecile 
For real 
Yes I feel emphatic about not being static 
And not buying philosophies that are sold to me, no, at a steal 
Just when you thought, it was safe to think 
In comes mental piracy, and no 
What I'm looking for (for) 
Can not be sold to me 
I wish they all would stop trying 
Cuz what I want, and what I need, is and will always be free 
It's coming around again 
They're letting it out again, again 
It's coming around again 
They're letting it out again 
When it comes, it comes unannounced 
And it feels like a matador is taunting me with his reddest red cloth 
And I am the bull 
Yes I feel emphatic about not being static 
And not eating the bullshit that's being fed to me 
Cuz now I'm full 
Just when you thought, it was safe to think 
In comes mental piracy, and no 
What I'm looking for (for) 
Can not be sold to me 
I wish they all would stop trying 
Cuz what I want, and what I need, is and will always be free 
It's coming around again 
They're letting it out again, again

Stellar lyrics - Incubus

Meet me in outerspace 
We could spend the night, watch the earth come up 
I've grown tired of that place, wont you come with me 
We could start again 
How do you do it, make me feel like I do 
How do you do it, its better than I ever knew 
Meet me in outerspace 
I will hold you close, If your afraid of heights 
I need you to see this place, It might be the only way 
That I can show you how, it feels to be inside of you 
How do you it, make me feel like I do 
How do you do it, its better than I ever knew 
How do you do it, make me feel like I do 
Do oh oh oh oh oh 
You are stellar 
You are stellar 
How do you it, make me feel like I do 
How do you do it, its better than I ever knew 
How do you do it, make me feel like I do 
How do you do it, make me feel like I do, Yeah.

Make Yourself lyrics - Incubus

If I hadn't made me, I would've been made somehow 
If I hadn't assembled myself, I'd have fallen apart by now 
If I hadn't made me, I'd be more inclined to bow 
Powers that be, would have swallowed me up 
But that's more than I can allow 
Bow, aww yeah 
If you let them make you, they'll make you paper mache 
At a distance you're strong, until the wind comes 
Then you crumble and blow away 
If you let them fuck you, there will be no fore-play 
Rest assured, they'll screw you complete 
Til your ass is blue and gray 
You should make amends with you 
If only for better health, better health 
But if you really want to live 
Why not try, and make yourself 
Make yourself 
Make yourself 
If I hadn't made me, I'd have fallen apart by now 
I won't let them make me, It's more than I can allow 
So when I make me, I won't be paper mache 
And if I fuck me, I'll fuck me my own way 
POW, fuck me in my own way 
POW, fuck me in my own way 
POW, fuck me in my own way 
Fuck me in my own way 
You should make amends with you 
If only for better health, better health 
But if you really want to live 
Why not try, and make yourself 
Make yourself 
Make yourself 
Make yourself 
Make yourself

Drive lyrics - Incubus

Sometimes I feel the fear of uncertainty stinging clear 
And I cant help but ask myself how much I'll let the fear take the wheel and steer 
It's driven me before, it seems to have a vague 
Haunting mass appeal 
Lately I'm beginning to find that I should be the one behind the wheel 
Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there 
With open arms and open eyes yeah 
Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there, I'll be there 
So if I decide to waiver my chance to be one of the hive 
Will I choose water over wine and hold my own and drive, oh oh 
It's driven me before, it seems to be the way 
That everyone else get around 
Lately, I'm beginning to find that when I drive myself, my light is found 
Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there 
With open arms and open eyes yeah 
Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there, I'll be there 
Would you choose water over wine 
Hold the wheel and drive 
Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there 
With open arms and open eyes yeah 
Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there, I'll be there

Clean lyrics - Incubus

Today, everything was fine fine fine 
Until roundabout quarter to 9, suddenly I found myself in a bind, a bind 
Was it something I said 
Something I read 
And manifest that's getting you down 
Don't you dare come to bed with that ambiguous look in your eye 
I'd sooner sleep by an open fire and wake up fried 
Say what u will 
Say what u mean 
No, you could never offend 
Your dirty words come out clean, clean 
Tomorrow, what price will I pay 
Could I make it all up to you by serving coffee for two in bed, would you then give me the time of day 
I need a map of your head, translated into english so I can learn to not make you frown 
Feel better if you vent, put your frustrations into four letter words and let them out on mine 
The most weathered ears in town! 
Say what u will 
Say what u mean 
No, you could never offend 
Your dirty words come out clean 
Clean [x6] 
Say what u will 
Say what u mean 
No, you could never offend 
Your dirt words come out clean 
Say what u will 
Say what u mean 
No, you could never offend 
Your dirty words come out clean, clean

I Miss You lyrics - Incubus

To see you when I wake up, is a gift I didn't think could be real 
To know that you feel the same, as I do, is a Three-fold utopian dream 
You do something to me 
That I can't explain 
So would I be out of line, If I said 
I miss you. 
I see your picture, I smell your skin on, the empty pillow next to mine 
You have only been gone ten days, but already I am wasting away 
I know I'll see you again 
Whether far or soon 
But I need you to know, that I care 
And I miss you

Pardon Me lyrics - incubus

Pardon me while I burst 
Pardon me while I burst 
A decade ago, I never thought I would be. 
A twenty three on the verge of spontaneous combustion. Woe-is-me 
But I guess that it comes with the territory. 
An ominous landscape of never-ending calamity. 
I need you to hear. I need you to see. 
That I have had all I can take 
And exploding seems like a definite possibility 
To me 
So Pardon me while I burst into flames. 
I've had enough of the world, and its people's mindless games 
So Pardon me while I burn, and rise above the flame 
Pardon me, pardon me. I'll never be the same. 
Not, two days ago I was having a look in a book 
And I saw a picture of a guy fried up above his knees 
I said I can relate 
Cause lately I've been thinking of combustication as a welcomed vacation from. 
The burdens of the planet earth, like gravity, hypocrisy, and the perils of being in 3-D... 
And thinking so much differently. 
Pardon me while I burst into flames. 
I've had enough of the world, and it's people's mindless games 
Pardon me while I burn, and rise above the flame 
Pardon me, pardon me. I'll never be the same. 
Never be the same...yeah. 
Pardon me while I burst into flames. 
Pardon me, pardon me, pardon me. 
So pardon me while I burst into flames. 
I've had enough of the world, and it's people's mindless games 
So pardon me while I burn, and rise above the flame 
Pardon me, pardon me. I'll never be the same. 
Pardon me, never be the same. Yeah

Out From Under lyrics - Incubus

To resist is to piss in the wind, anyone who does will end up smelling 
Knowing this why do I defy 
Cuz my inner voice is yelling 
There is a fist pressing against, anyone who thinks something compelling 
Our intuit we're taught to deny 
And our soul we're told is for selling 
Get out from under them 
Resist and multiply 
Get out from under precipice 
And see the sky 
Get out from under them 
Resist, unlearn, defy 
Get out from under precipice 
And see the sky 
To resist is to piss in the wind, anyone who does will end up smelling 
Knowing this why do I defy 
Cuz my inner voice is yelling 
There is a fist pressing against, anyone who thinks something compelling 
Our intuit we're taught to deny 
And our soul we're told is for selling 
Get out from under them 
Resist and multiply 
Get out from under precipice 
And see the sky 
Get out from under them 
Resist, unlearn, defy 
Get out from under precipice 
And see the sky 
See the sky (see the sky) 
See the sky (see the sky) 
See the sky (see the sky) 
Resist and multiply (resist and multiply) 
Resist and multiply 
Get out from under them 
Resist and multiply 
Get out from under precipice 
And see the sky 
Get out from under them 
Resist, unlearn, defy 
Get out from under precipice 
And see the sky 
See the sky 
See the sky 
See the sky

Redefine lyrics - Incubus

Imagine your brain as a 
canister filled with ink 
yeah, now think of your body 
as the pen where the ink resides 
Fuse the two; KAPOW! 
What are you now? 
You're the human magic marker, won't you 
please surprise my eyes? 
It's in your nature, 
you can paint whatever picture 
you like no matter what 
Ted Koppel says on channel 4 tonight 
So modify this third rock from the sun 
by painting myriads of pictures 
with the colors of one 
I'm sick of painting in black and white 
my pen is dry, now I'm uptight 
So sick of limiting myself 
to fit your definition 
Picture the scene, where whatever you thought, 
would, in the blink of an eye, 
manifest and become illustrated 
You'd be sure man that every 
line drawn reflected a life that you loved 
not an existence that you hated 
So, must we demonstrate that 
we can't get it straight? 
We've painted a picture, 
now we're drowning in paint 
Lets figure out what the fuck it's about 
before the picture we painted 
chews us up and spits us out 
I'm sick of painting in black and white 
my pen is dry, now I'm uptight 
So sick of limiting myself 
to fit your definition

Vitamin lyrics - Incubus

I'm born
I'm alive
I breathe
In a moment or two I realize,
that the sphere upon which I reside,
is asleep on its feet.
should I go back to sleep?

I'm born
I'm alive
I breathe
In a moment or two I realize,
that the sphere upon which I reside,
is asleep on its feet.
should I should I should I go back to sleep?

You stare at me like I'm a vitamin
On the surface you hate,
but you know you need me.
I'll come dressed as any pill you deem fit.
Whatever helps you swallow truth
all the more easily.

We orbit the sun
I grow up
my open eyes see...

A zombified, somnambulist society.
Leaving us as vitamins
for the hibernating human animal.
Do you see what I mean?

You stare at me like I'm a vitamin
On the surface you hate,
but you know you need me.
I'll come dressed as any pill you deem fit.
Whatever helps you swallow truth
all the more easily.
And I wonder, will you digest me?
Into the sleep machine I won't plug in,
in fact I'd rather die before I will comply.
To you, my friend,
I write the reason I still live,
'cause in my mind it's set the vitamin is ripe to give
Coming closer to another 2000 years
you and I will pry
the closed eye of the sleep machine

You stare at me like I'm a vitamin
On the surface you hate,
but you know you want me.
I'll come dressed as any pill you deem fit.
Whatever helps you swallow truth
all the more easily.

New Skin lyrics - Incubus

At first I see an open wound 
infected and disastrous 
It breathes chaotic catastrophe 
it cries to be renewed 
Its tears are the color of anger, 
they dry to form a scab 
To the touch, its stiff and resilient, 
underneath, the new skin breathes 
As outwardly cliche as it may seem, 
yes, something under the surface says, 
"C'est la vie" 
It is a circle, there is a plan 
dead skin will atrophy itself to start again 
Look closely at the open wound 
see past what covers the surface 
Underneath chaotic catastrophe, 
creation takes stage. 
Its all been saved 
with exception for the right parts 
When will we be new skin? 
Its all been seen with exception for what could be 
When will we be new skin? 
Fallacious cognitions 
spewed from televisions 
do mold our decisions. 
So stop and take a look, 
and you'll see what I see now

Idiot Box lyrics - Incubus

You keep your riches and I'll sew my stitches, 
you can't make me think like you, mundane. 
I've got a message for all those who think that 
they can etch his words inside my brain 
T.V., what do I need? 
Tell me who to believe! 
What's the use of autonomy 
when a button does it all? 
So listen up, 
glisten up closely all, 
who've seen the fuckin eye ache too. 
It's time to step away from cable train 
And when we finally see the subtle light, 
this quirk in evolution will begin 
to let us live and recreate 
T.V., what do I need? 
Tell me who to believe! 
Whats the use of autonomy 
when a button does it all? 
T.V., what should I see? 
Tell me who should I be? 
Lets do our mom a favor and drop 
a new god off a wall. 
Let me see past the fatuous knocks. 
I've gotta rid myself of this idiot box! 
Let you see past the feathers and flocks, 
and help me plant a bomb in this idiot box! 
From the depths of the sea 
to the tops of the trees 
to the seat of a lazy boy... 
staring at a silver screen!!

Glass lyrics - Incubus

If I had a dime for every time you walked away, 
I could afford to not give a shit 
and buy a drink and drown the day 
But your pockets, they are empty, 
yeh, and mine are times two 
So why not make an about-face, 
and accept the love I send to you? 
You're never gonna be content if you don't try, 
try to see outside your line. 
There you go, you did it again! 
You act as if there's blinders on your eyes. 
Should I apologize if what I say burns your ears and stains 
your eyes?! 
Oh, did I crack your shell? 
When it falls away, you'll see we exist as well! 
Like a bottle with the cork stuck, 
your true ingredients trapped inside. 
Through the cloudy glass we catch a glimpse of you, 
I guess the hard shell represents your pride. 
Oh, if only it could be different 
we could uncover the you, you deny. 
Between two, a small discrepancy, 
one complicates and one simplifies. 
TAKE THOSE FUCKING BLINDERS OFF YOUR EYES!! 
So if I had a dime for every time you walked away, 
you could bet your bottom dollar that 
I'd be filthy rich by noon today

A Certain Shade Of Green lyrics - Incubus

A certain shade of green, 
tell me, is that what you need? 
All signs around say move ahead. 
Could someone please explain to me your ever present 
lack of speed? 
Are your muscles bound by ropes? 
Or do crutches cloud your day? 
My sources say the road is clear, 
and street signs point the way. 
Are you gonna stand around till 2012 A.D.? 
What are you waiting for, 
A certain shade of green? 
I think I grew a gray watching you procrastinate. 
What are you waiting for, 
A certain shade of green? 
Would a written invitation 
signed, "Choose now or lose it all," 
sedate your hesitation? 
Or inflame and make you stall? 
You've been raised in limitation, 
but that glove never fit quite right. 
The time has passed for hand-me-downs, 
choose anew, please evolve, 
take flight 
What are you waiting for? 
A written invitation? 
A public declaration? 
A private consolation?

Favorite Things lyrics - incubus

I'm thinking of my soul's sovereignty, 
and I know everything you hate in me. 
Fill me up with over-pious badgerings, 
to throw them up, oh, one of my favorite things. 
Remember all the lessons fed to me? 
Me the young sponge, so ready to agree. 
Years have gone; I recognize the walking dead, 
now aware that I'm alive and way ahead. 
Too bad the things that make you mad 
are my favorite things. 
And I'm so happy. 
I see you looking, I know that you're thinking 
that I'll never go anywhere. 
The things that I've done and the things 
that I've seen, I don't really expect you to care.

Summer Romance (Anti-Gravity Love Song) lyrics - Incubus

I'm home alone tonight.
Full moon illuminates my room, and sends my mind aflight.
I think I was dreaming up some thoughts that were seemingly
possible...with you.
So I call you on the tin can phone.
We rendezvous at a quarter-two, and make sure we're alone.
I think I've found a way for you and I to finally fly free.
When we get there, we're gonna fly so far away.
Making sure to laugh; while we experience anti-gravity.
For years, I kept it to myself.
Now potentialities are bound, and living under my shelf.
Simply choose your destination from the diamond canopy,
and we'll be there.
So I call you on the tin can phone.
We rendezvous at a quarter-two, and make sure we're alone.
I think I've found the way for you and I to finally be free

Nebula lyrics - Incubus

Disconnect and let me drift, 
until my upside down is right side in. 
Society must let the artist go, 
to wander off into the nebula. 
Upon return, I conjure what was seen. 
I let it pulse and boil within my limbs. 
I lay my pencil to the porous page, 
and let my lunatic indulge itself. 
Wander off into your nebula, see your nectarine of 
multiplicity cum like orgasmatron 
on overdrive! 
Wander in off to your nebula, your tangerine of 
electricity is ripe and on a vine, so pick your prize! 
Do you enjoy your sight inside? 
In little, black book do I confide!

Deep Inside lyrics - Incubus

It's 3 o'clock, 
and we ask ourselves, 
"Where are we now?" 
It seems we've wondered out of bounds again! 
(Over and over, we ask ourselves why we don't utilize 
things that are stored 
deep inside of our brains!) 
I'm on my own and I can't see straight! 
Am I so stoned that I can't see straight? 
Man, I've got to find my way back home, 
but I'm too deep inside 
It's 4 o'clock, 
and we ask ourselves, 
"Where did we go wrong? 
We passed my house at least an hour ago!" 
Over and over, we ask ourselves why 
don't we utilize things 
that are stored deep inside of our brains! 
I'm on my own and I can't see straight? 
Am I sooo stoned that I can't see straight? 
It's 5 o'clock, 
and we tell ourselves, 
"We need to get home! The sun is creeping overhead again!" 
I'm way too deep inside to go home... 
I've got to get sane!

Calgone lyrics - Incubus

On my way home, police car pulled me over. 
After they left, I puttered out of gas. 
Triple-A' came, but my card was expired! 
I had to walk home, and of course, it rained half the time. 
I tried to get some shut-eye, then I was abducted! 
They put cold things in my butt. 
They sampled a bit of my D.N.A. 
They left me on top of my sheets, 
I dreamt I went potty, then woke up drenched in me. 
This day sucked the hardest ever... 
I woke up on the wrong side of the bed today. 
A little bit less than nothing would go my way. 
I got up to toss my soiled sheets, 
the hallway was dark and I stubbed my big toe. 
It was then that I sensed the irony (burning me), 
then I heard the voice say, 
"Come sail aboard S.S. Nepenthe!" 
I suppose I'm to blame for getting pulled over. 
I guess I'm the culprit for running out of gas. 
Let's assume I'm the guy who didn't pay his 'Triple-A' fee. 
In actuality, I let the zetas probe me. 
Yesterday was all my fault. 
I let negativity get the better of me. 
Thank goodness for the bathtubs and suds! 
They temporarily set free this quandary.

You Will Be A Hot Dancer lyrics - Incubus

Damn, this situation's new to me, why? 
I see a head afraid to be himself, 
I bet he'd to have a little 
encouragement from the opposite, 
come that side of the floor...Yes! 
Egg him along, make him feel at ease with himself, 
steal his clothes, leave him his shoes, 
let's get this marmaduke naked! 
Everybody help make him feel at ease, 
let's get this maraduke naked 
so lose your head and go to pieces..... 
Don't you make fun of me... 
don't you make fun of me! 
I'm gonna be, gonna be, 
I'm gonna be a hot dancer! 
Oohh... now that the basics are down, 
converse amongst yourselves. 
But, keep an eye out for the next complication. 
In other words, 
grab the next motherfucker marmaduke, 
who refuses to subdue to these pelvic ostentations. 
I can't wait until the syllables bend. 
Let's get this marmaduke naked, 
let's get this marmaduke naked... 
so lose your head and go to pieces! 
Don't you make fun of me... 
don't you make fun of me! 
I'm gonna be, 
gonna be, 
I'm gonna be a hot dancer!

Shaft lyrics - incubus

Who am I? 
I am I. 
Who are you? 
You are me! 
Why can't I get it straight? 
No! 
Why can't I see it straight? 
Shaft! 
We can't let you, 
we can't let you go. 
Shaft! Shaft! Shaft! Shaft! 
I'll get a new one, then! 
I take a look, a look around, gas limited. 
I take a look around, 
I tell myself I live again! 
I take a look, a look around, gas limited. 
I take a look around, I tell myself I live again! 
Why can't I get it straight? 
No! 
Why can't I see it straight? 
Shaft! 
We can't let you, 
we can't let you go. 
Up until this day; 
I take a look, a look around, gas limited. 
Up untile this day; 
I look around, I tell myselfI live again! 
Shaft.... 
where's Lorena when we need her?

Trouble In 421 lyrics - Incubus

The evening began as a positive swaret 
and my abode was 4-2-0 G. 
But little did I know that in the very next apartment 
there'd be trouble on the brew for me! 
Ubiquitous I wish I could be 
because the clock cuts short my own day! 
One hundred things to do before I rest my sore ass 
upon the cushion that supports my array! 
Can this be? 
Trouble!!! 
So if I may, slip you a tip. 
You'd best stay away from 4-2-1. 
Trouble!!! 
So get high the green way. 
So get by the green way...yes! 
I knocked upon their door 
in hopes of bidding them their welcome 
and instead I was caught by an eye. 
His pupil was wide open 
kinda like a liquor barn at 3:00. 
It was indoubadoubly dose derived. 
It was then that they took me 
and shined their light between my eyes. 
He said "What are ya new? 
Why are you here? What's the catch? 
Why not explain in clear? Why you're peakin around?!" 
I wish I could've just kept to my own. 
My hospitality has been too well spent and I've paid my rent! 
I should've kept my thoughts, on who might've been inside 
so that my mind could sit and delude my pride! 
I beg my common sense to keep my 
neighbor out away from my front door 
until i find a way 
to hide myself from those in 4-2-1.......one 
..one away from the good one.

Take Me To Your Leader lyrics Incubus

What if your brain,
Unexpectedly and suddenly,
Picked out things to flip around
And view a lot differently?
What if blue sky,
All of a sudden turned a purple hue?
We would shit a brick the size of all of it...
What if?
What if I was just dreaming?
What if I lived in a pear?
What if my watch read 4:20 every hour, every day?
You can bet your dollar I'd be happy!
I forgot to remember;
I forgot to remember my pain.
Take me to your leader
Or die by the fly guy!
What if mothballs,
Hangin' around too close to microwaves
Suddenly woke up and said,
"Take me to your leader
Or die by fly guy!
He'll push ya' out,
No wings attached!"
Just do as I say, no mistake,
He'll blow away.
What if I was just dreaming?
What if I lived in a pear?
What if I had a mustard drenched cucumber
Tied to my leg and I
Did not want my pants to get dirty?
What if this, what if that?!
Go! I forgot to remember;
I forgot to remember my pain.
Take me to your leader
Or die by the fly guy!
I forgot to remember my...PAIN!
My pain!
Forgot to inject my...cocaine!
Forgot to apply my...rogaine!
Forgot to remember...my pain!
I never think, I never thought,
Oh maybe I'm insane!
I think I like being
Way the fuck out of my brain!
I forgot to remember;
I forgot to remember my pain.
Take me to your leader
Or die by the fly guy!

Medium lyrics - Incubus

Medium, medium.
Medium, medium.
Medium, medium.
Medium, medium.
Medium, medium.
Medium, medium.
Medium, medium.
Medium, medium.
Waking up I smell the scent of coffee on the brew,
and I think about the amount of the sweet,
I'd like to have in my cup today.
One for the two lump, three lump, four.
No half of one, no less no more.
Just give me a chance, let me make it mine.
I'd like a medium blend of that piece of pie.
Not too bitter, not too sweet...Medium.

Just enough to start my beat...Medium.

Not too bitter, not too sweet...Medium.

Just enough to start my beat...Medium.

Dinner time just rolls around,
and I think I crave a steak but,
I'm not too partial to the meat,
when it's cooked too long and I'm made to wait.

Not too much of the parsley,

and just enough of the spice.
I think I'd enjoy a medium-rare dish with a side of fries.
Not too tender, not too tough...Medium.
Not too little, just enough...Medium.
Not too tender, not too tough...Medium.
Not too little, just enough...Medium.
Medium. Medium. Medium. Medium. Just a medium. Medium.

Thursday morning I smell the pits but, hell it ain't that bad.

I could've sworn I bathed last week and scrubbed like a good lad.

I like to stink just a little bit,
just to keep you on your toes yes.
The more I stink the more i think,
that you smell like a rose.
Not too pleasant, not too bad...Medium.

Just enough to irk my dad...Medium.

Not too pleasant, not too bad...Medium.

Just enough to irk my dad...Medium.

Medium. Medium. Medium. Medium. Medium. Medium.

Speak Free lyrics - Incubus

You took our lives away 
to increase your self esteem. 
An underlie in the public eye. 
Your dubbed insane if and when you try to 
speak your mind...IN YOUR OWN WAY! 
Ignore the past and... 
SPEAK FREE! 
You smashed glass eyes just to say, 
"It all is all that I need." 
What you see 
is a reflection of my choice 
and what it means to me. 
Trapped in your cell. 
A mindless plot against own eyes 
to simplify your hell! 
Just ease my pain!

The Answer lyrics - Incubus

(MMMMmmmmmmmm........ hemp?!) 
Step outside the bounds and take a 
big look at the times we live in. 
Who appointed you? 
You're just an avid image on my screen. 
So take your bias point of view away from 
my organic institution. 
And now we D.A.R.E. to think ourselves! 
The answer's waiting content. 
(Look into your mind and guide.) 
The answer's clear as day open your eyes! 
Now kill me. 
You killed the very thing that keeps us 
hanging on to our dear lives. 
So, in a sense you bit the hand that feeds us 
just to kill your prophet now. 
And with the coming generation at the torn seems 
this is what you call progress.. 
I call it shame! 
The answer's waiting content. 
(Look into your mind and guide.) 
The answers clear as day open your eyes! 
Now kill me. 
What his law says. 
What his law says. 
What his law says may not be the stepping stone for you! 
You killed the very thing that keeps us hanging on to our dear lives!

Psychopsilocybin lyrics - Incubus

Psychopsilocybin runnin horny mother fucker. 
Trippin on his shoelace, searchin for the hairy sucker. 
He dont need no funny money, his love is all his power. 
Half-naked and full witted, and two weeks less a shower! 
You'll see me, I'll be there, with my nose in the grass! 
One for me, one for you. 
Two for me, one for you. 
Three for me, one for you. 
End of the sack, now the fungi's they are bloom.

Sink Beneath The Line lyrics - Incubus

Solstice sun it sank beneath the line 
and the commoners were... 
drunken upon the hillside 
or so the story goes. 
I guess she followed along 
so she could... 
watch their games! 
Sink beneath the line little girl. 
Peak above the shrine them commoners were. 
Harvest moon it peaked above the shrine 
and the crawlers emerged multitudious! 
Silly girl she sat upon their doorway 
just poppin a squat! 
That's when she... 
felt the squirms. 
My underpants! 
All I know is that she wanted to be part of the crowd. 
I could've told her she was welcome here, anywhere! 
But instead she combed the outskirts lookin inside 
and then she sat upon a bughill. 
This was when things started to get rough. 
An army-o-de-pinchers climbed their creepy ways 
right inside her 5-0-1 cut-offs 
and her skin took on a hue of a chemical unknown to me thats right! 
They were biting her beneath the line. 
She was a sitting on atop their shrine. 
I wish I could've warned her! 
"She should've worn underpants! 
There's bugs crawling everywhere and shit, 
I can't believe it!"

Hilikus lyrics - Incubus

About a hundred years ago now, 
thought I was left for dead. 
Soliloquy, she was my... 
A picture, a wake, 
my metaphoric friend. 
So then I fell in love with an irony named life, 
it taught me this from that and... 
a picture, a wake, you're gonna be hilikus. 
History has a tendency 
to block yout the popular beliefs 
about the leaders of the time, 
so glisten with my syllables and 
ponder the thought, 
maybe they should have 
had to dedicate more to it, go! 
You've got to be, 
so good to be, 
You've got to be HILIKUS! 
So I took a walk out side 
with my new found friend and the knowledge imbibe. 
I figured I'd find another 
with the same attitude, 
yes, then maybe I could talk 
to someone other than myself! 
The doors are swinging wide open, 
a positive attitude and the ilk in my pocket 
had a lot to do with my new found friend, 
the hilikus. 
History has a tendency 
to block out the popular beliefs 
about the leaders of the time, 
so glisten with my syllables and 
ponder the thought, 
maybe they should have had to dedicate more to it, go! 
You've got to be, 
So good to be, 
You've got to be 
HILIKUS!

Azwethinkweiz lyrics - Incubus

Floatin' round my brain,
tryin' to think about the other thing.
Than that thought you know I'm considering.
What if what I thought,
about who I think I thought I was,
was nothing more than my cerebellum slobbering?
Azwethinkweizm is hard to think about,
but simple to trust.
You'll know your on it
when your brain won't stop to take a break, no!
So when donut boy comes askin' around,
tryin' to figure out somethin' new,
you just smile and say,
"Pardon you! I'm sifting through some particles and farcing through some folds.
I've stumbled upon a brain fart
which melts away your molds!"
So I think upon that ponder
while I'm pondering the thought,
just thinkin' about the thinkweiz
is leaving me distraught!
Well I think I thought
I saw an Azwethinkweiz,
Lookin' like we think we do.
Like we think we do.
Some think I'm insane,
'cause I think about the other thing,
than that one thought you call reality.
What if what you thought,
about who you think you thought you were,
was nothing more than illusion rapidly crumbling!
Azwethinkweism should be a topic we all can trust.
It's just too bad it makes your
head go zippitykrack @#$% dang!
So when donut boy comes sniffing around
trying to figure out something new,
you just laugh and say, "Pardon you,
I'm through some particles and
farcing through some folds.
I've stumbled upon a brain fart
which melts away your molds."
So I think upon that ponder
while I'm pondering the thought,
just thinking about the thinkweiz
is leaving me distraught.
Well I think I thought I saw an Azwethinkweiz,
lookin' like we think we do.
Like we think we do.
So what if you thought about the thinkweiz
was nothing like you think you are?
You'd probably more than likely be a
lookyloo lookin' like you think you do.
Like you think you do.

Crowded Elevator lyrics - Incubus

Fifteen minutes to six and fourteen floors to go,
thirteen suited strangers makes a crowded elevator slow,
And I've got a million word and phrases on the tip of my tongue,
For the only non-stranger next to me, as you should know, know, know.
So let 'em stare.

If I could think I would give in,
And let you in on how I feel,
Need to spill.
Let all of it out right now,
And expose every inch in front of them.

Twelve more floors your eyes and mine are all I need to come clean,
Or should I wait for the lobby, spare the lives
Of some 26 nervous eyes being occupied by little red numbers passing by.
If I wait one minute longer, I think I will die,
die, die.
So let em' stare.

If I could think I would give in,
And let you in on how I feel,
Need to spill.
Let all of it out right now,
And expose every inch in front of them.
If I could think I would give in,
And let you in on how I feel,
Need to spill.
Let all of it out right now,
And expose every inch in front of them,
Front of them.

You help me to feel, see, and know,
Why all the while I've been so inquisitive.
I can't go back cuz now I know how it feels to open up and breathe.
I can't go back cuz now I,
I can't go back cuz now I,
I can't go back cuz now I,
I can't go back cuz now I know.

If I could think I would give in,
And let you in on how I feel,
Need to spill.
Let all of it out right now,
And expose every inch in front of them.
If I could think I would give in,
And let you in on how I feel,
Need to spill.
Let all of it out right now,
And expose every inch in front of them,
Yeah,
In front of them,
In front of them,
In front of them.
