Incubus Lyrics

Agoraphobia lyrics - Incubus

Two people touching lips

Hands on each other's hips

Nothing else in the world but one another

The 42nd floor

On a distant shore

I wonder how we strayed so far from this

Remember when we were

Just flesh and bone. You sir,

May have forgotten how good your world could be

So, put down your hollow tips

And kiss your lovers lips

And know that fate is what you make of it

Please end this [x2]

Before this ends us

Ends us [x2]

I wanna stay inside

I wanna stay inside for good

I wanna stay inside

For good [x8]

I read the news today

And everything they say

Just makes me want to stay inside and wait

But a part of me knows

That waiting in the throes

Is on a par with reading with my eyes closed

"What Can I do?", You say

It's just another day

In the life of apes with ego trips

Put down your hollow tips

And kiss your lover's lips

And know that fate is what we make of it

Please end this [x2]

Before this ends us

Ends us [x2]

I wanna stay inside

I wanna stay inside for good

I wanna stay inside

For good

I'm gonna stay inside

I'm gonna stay inside for good

I'm gonna stay inside

For Good

I wanna stay inside

I wanna stay inside for good

I wanna stay inside

Don't want to stay inside for good

For good [x8]

Fuck off

For good [x2]

Talk Shows On Mute lyrics - Incubus

Take a bow

Pack on powder

Wash 'em out with buzzing lights

Pay an audience to care

"Impress me" personality

Still and transfixed

The electric sheep are dreaming of your face

Enjoy you from the chemical

Comfort of America

Come one, come all

Into 1984

Yeah, three, two, one

Lights, camera, transaction

Quick, your time is almost up

Make all forget that they're the moth

Edging in towards the flame

Burn into obscurity

Still and transfixed

The electric sheep are dreaming up your fate

And judge you from the card castle

Comfort of America

Come one, come all

Into 1984

Yeah, three, two, one

Lights, camera, transaction

Your foundation is canyoning

Fault lines should be worn with pride

I hate to say it but

You're so much more

You're so much more

Endearing with the sound turned off

Beware! Criminal lyrics - Incubus

You crawl in bed, it's 3am

You smell of wine and cigarettes

A butterfly under the glass

You are beautiful

But you're not going anywhere

We do the same thing every night

I swear I've heard this song before

A swimmer who has seen a shark

I should really be more wary of the water

You came, you saw, you conquered

Everyone

I'm left here guessing

What went wrong

Yeah, I'm down

But not out, and far from done

Hey all!

Beware criminal

A prism with an intellect

You show your light selectively

You stole my glow, a seasoned thief

The blacks of my eyes are turning into opals

Today, I'll walk

There's nothing here left for me but empty promises

And the thought of all the things I'm never getting back

You came, you saw, you conquered

Everyone

I'm left here bleeding

What went wrong

Yeah, I'm down

But not out, and far from done

Hey all

Beware

Beware criminal

Criminal

Criminal

Did you think

Did you think I wouldn't notice?

Did you think

Did you think

Did you really think I wouldn't care?

Did you think

Did you think I wouldn't notice?

Did you think

Did you think

Did you really think I wouldn't care?

You came, you saw, you conquered

And I'm left here bleeding

Oh, what went wrong?

Yeah, I'm down

But not out, and far from done

Hey!

Beware criminal

Sick Sad Little World lyrics - Incubus

No, You're not the first to fall apart

But always the first one to complain

You better get careful or you'll compromise everything You are

The world is a drought when out of love

Please come back to us

You're all of the above

I'm making a choice to be out of touch

Leave me be he said

Leave me here in my stark raving sick sad little world

I've never had unpaid confidantes

It's more than I would care to explain

But I have an open door policy when it comes to blame

The world is a joke when out of love

Please come back to us

You're all of the above

I'm making a choice to be out of touch

Leave me be he said

Leave me here in my stark raving sick sad little world

Pistola lyrics - Incubus

On the tip of my tongue an offensive is poised and rearing

My intention a bullet, my body a trigger finger

Yeah, my pen is a Pistola

I don't need to fear, fear you

Yeah, my pen is a Pistola

My secret arsenal is an infinite ageless inkwell

It's a fountain of youth and a patriot's weapon of choice

Yeah, my pen is a Pistola

I don't need to fear, fear you

Yeah, my pen is a Pistola

On the tip of my tongue an offensive is poised and rearing

My intention a bullet, my body a trigger finger

Yeah, my pen is a Pistola

I don't need to fear, fear you

Yeah, my pen is a Pistola

Southern Girl lyrics - Incubus

Is everything a baited hook?

And are there locks on all doors?

If you're looking for an open book

Look no further, I am yours

We'll behave like animals

Swing from tree to tree

We can do anything

That turns you up and sets you free

You're an exception to the rule

You're a bonafide rarity

You're all I ever wanted

Southern girl

Could you want me?

So come outside and walk with me

We'll try each other on to see if we fit

And with our roots, become a tree

To shade what we make, under it

We'll behave like animals

Swing from tree to tree

We can do anything

That turns you up and sets you free

You're an exception to the rule

You're a bonafide rarity

You're all I ever wanted

Southern girl

Could you want me?

Priceless lyrics - Incubus

The fact that you

You think you can

Speak to me

The way you do

It bleeds me to believe that you

Have never stepped out of the skin you lived within

And then, and if

This day occurs

Your tongue, the taste

Will imitate a battery

The anti-equilibrium

Your stomach becomes the floor

The look on your face was priceless!

The look on your face was priceless!

Yes, the look on your face was priceless!

That look, it was...

A light goes on upstairs,

The attic is ablaze!

This island isn't big enough

For both of us so who will swim

In eel infested oceans?

Kiss the sand good-bye

because the tide is coming up and in

Yeah, water, water, water everywhere!

And every chance to sink!

The look on your face was priceless!

The look on your face was priceless!

Yes, the look on your face was priceless!

That look, it was so priceless

It's an amalgamation

Of the things you aren't

The ways you wish you were

A split second

Perceiving of the way you really look to everyone of them

I wish that you could see because

I wish that you could see

The look on your face was priceless!

The look on your face was priceless!

Yes, the look on your face was priceless!

That look, it was so priceless

Zee Deveel lyrics - Incubus

Nice car

Where'd you get your ride?

A trophy? Badge of honor? Overcompensation?

Price tags advertise your pride

Since when did what we pay for colored cloth gauge our gravity?

Yeah you got your little world

Picture perfect, its a pearl

Now go and try and sleep in the bed you made

You should be careful what you wish for

Cause everyone of us has the devil inside

You should be careful what you wish for

Cause all of what amounts becomes you

Nice watch

Man, you got the time?

Theres never enough and it always goes too slow

Yeah you got your little world

Picture perfect, its a pearl

Now go and try and sleep in the bed you made

You should be careful what you wish for

Cause everyone of us have the devil inside

You should be careful what you wish for

Cause all of what amounts becomes you

Nice watch

Man, you got the time?

Theres never enough and it always goes too slow

Price tags advertise your pride

Since when did what we pay for colored cloth gauge our gravity?

You should be careful what you wish for

Cause everyone of us have the devil inside

You should be careful what you wish for

Cause all of what amounts, becomes you

Made For TV Movie lyrics - Incubus

I heard a word from on high

Glare like a light in the sky

It said, "quit blowing each other up"

A voicing so crystaline clear

Something's unclean in your ear

When only blood fills your cup

Hello

I'm trying to focus, but my eyes decieve me

Focus

I'm witnessing history repeating

It fell like a tear from my eye

Flying machines so up high

Well, there goes the neighborhood

A scene set to singe innocence

Upheave, unhinge, and pit against

Like every made for TV movie should

Hello

I'm trying to focus, but my eyes decieve me

Focus

I'm witnessing history repeating

Focus, Focus

Focus (I can see now)

We are, we know, we see, we think for you

The who, the what, the when, the where, the why

We build your young, we build you too, we see you all

Hello

I'm trying to focus, but my eyes decieve me

Focus

I'm witnessing history repeating

Smile Lines lyrics - Incubus

Met my match today

Felt the blood rushing and mingling

A curious and enigmatic thing

Spiders in my dreams

Synchronicity weaves like a web

When you were meant to be a meal

I want you bad!

I want you bad!

I understand why they say high school never ends

Never act my age

You can tell by the lines in my smile

That I have been around for awhile

So, insecurities

Are about as useful as trying

To put the pin back in the grenade

I want you bad!

I want you bad!

I understand why they say high school never ends

I want you bad!

I want you bad!

I understand why they say high school never stops

This isn't coincidence

There's no such thing

This isn't coincidence, no

This isn't coincidence

It's no such thing.

This isn't, no

I want you bad!

I want you bad!

I understand why they say high school never ends

Here In My Room lyrics - Incubus

This party is old and uninviting

Participants all in black and white

You enter in fullblown technicolor

Nothing is the same after tonight

If the world would fall apart

In a fiction worthy wind

I wouldn't change a thing

Now that you're here

Yeah, love is a verb here in my room

Here in my room, here in my room

You enter and close the door behind you

Now show me the world as seen from the stars

If only the lights would dim a little

I'm weary of eyes upon my scars

Pink tractor beam into your incision

Head spinning as free as dervishs' whirl

I came here expecting next to nothing

So thank you for being that kind of girl

That kind of girl

Leech lyrics - Incubus

Does it make you indie?

Does it make you proud?

To talk the world into a paper bag

Spotty stain of "I'm ok, you're not ok"

Yes, men too could be on the rag

I'm over my head I need a pick-me-up

Its easy to get high when you're standing on our backs, man

Will anything ever be good enough for you?

Stand on your own, hold your water if you can

The ride's over, did you enjoy yourself?

The ride's over, fairing well?!

The ride's over, did you enjoy yourself?

The ride's over, fairing well?!

Not on my time

It isn't fair to mention, but it awes the crowd

Your fictional, plastic alibi

So take another hit, steal another line

Did you ever meet a leech who was good at goodbyes?

When you were down i always picked you up

Why didn't I recognize that everything was never fine?

I'm kicking myself that i shared spit with you

So fuck yourself

And fuck this bleeding heart of mine

The ride's over, did you enjoy yourself?

The ride's over, fairing well?!

The ride's over, did you enjoy yourself?

The ride's over, fairing well?!

Not on my time

When you were down i always picked you up

Why didn't I recognize that everything was never fine?

I'm kicking myself that i shared spit with you

So fuck yourself

And fuck this bleeding heart of mine

The ride's over, did you enjoy yourself?

The ride's over, fairing well?!

The ride's over, did you enjoy yourself?

The ride's over, fairing well?!

The ride's over

"Morning View" (2001)

Nice To Know You lyrics - Incubus

Better than watching Gellar bending silver spoons.

Better than witnessing new born nebulaes in bloom.

She who sees from 'up-high' smiles and surely sings.

Perspective pries your once weighty eyes and it gives you wings.

I haven't felt the way I feel today

in so long it's hard for me to specify.

I'm beginning to notice how much this feels like a waking limb...

pins and needles,

nice to know you,

goodbye!

Deeper than the deepest Cousteau would ever go.

And higher than the heights of what we often think we know.

Blessed she who clearly sees the wood for the trees.

To obtain a 'bird's eye' is to turn a blizzard into a breeze.

I haven't felt the way I feel today

in so long it's hard for me to specify.

I'm beginning to notice how much this feels like a waking limb...

pins and needles,

nice to know you...

goodbye!

So could it be that it has been there all along?

Circles lyrics - Incubus

You saw me lost and treading water,

I looked pathetic,

I looked as helpless as a stinger without a bee.

But underneath my presentation, (yeah.)

I knew the walls were coming down

and the stones that fell were aiming away from me.

Hey! What would it mean to you

to know that it'll come back around again?

Hey! Whatever it means to you,

know that everything moves in circles.

I saw you standing in my headlights. (Blink, blink, blink.)

I thought I'd run you down for the weight you left on me.

Instead I pushed rewind, reversed and drove away.

And seeing you disappear in my rearview brought to me the word 'Reciprocity!'

Hey! What would it mean to you

to know that it'll come back around again?

Hey! Whatever it means to you,

know that everything moves in circles.

Round and round we go...

who could've known it'd end so well?

We fall on and we fall off...

existential carousel.

Wish You Were Here lyrics - Incubus

I dig my toes into the sand.

The ocean looks like a thousand diamonds strewn across a blue blanket.

I lean against the wind, pretend that i am weightless and in this moment i am happy.

[Chorus:]

I wish you were here

I wish you were here

I wish you were here

I wish you were here.

I lay my head onto the sand.

The sky resembles a backlit canopy with holes punched in it.

I'm counting ufo's.

I signal them with my lighter

and in this moment i am happy, happy.

[Chorus]

The world's a roller coaster and I am not strapped in.

Maybe I should hold with care,but my hands are busy in the air.

[Chorus]

Just A Phase lyrics - Incubus

I am bottled fizzy water

And you are shaking me up

You are a fingernail running

Down the chalkboard I thought I left in third grade

Now my only consolation

Is that this could not last forever

Even though you're singing and thinking how well you've got it made

Who are you?

When will you be through

Yeah, it's just a phase

It will be over soon

Yeah, it's just a phase

Yeah, it's just a...phase

Call it women's intuition

But I think I'm on to something here

Temporaryism has been the 'Black Plague'

And the Jesus of our age

I know I must sound opinionated

Maybe biased and quite possibly jaded

But sooner than later they'll be throwing quarters at you on the stage

Who are you?

When will you be through

Yeah, it's just a phase

It will be over soon

Yeah, it's just a phase

Yeah, it's just a...phase

And I am waiting for it to be over too

11 A.M. lyrics - Incubus

seven a.m.,

the garbage truck beeps as it backs up

and I start my day thinking about what I've thrown away.

Could I push rewind?

The credits traverse signifying the end but I missed the best part.

Could we please go back to start?

Forgive my indecision

Then again, you're always first when no one's on your side.

But then again, a day will come when I want off that ride.

eleven a.m.,

by now you would think that I would be up

but my bedsheets shade the heat of choices I've made.

And what did I find?

I never thought I could want someone so much

'cause now you're not here and I'm knee deep in

that old fear.

Forgive my indecision... I am only a man

Then again, you're always first when no one's on your side.

But then again, a day will come when I want off that ride.

Twelve pm and my dusty telephone rings.

Heavy head up from my pillow, who could it be?

I hope it's you.

Blood On The Ground lyrics - Incubus

I don't want to talk to you anymore;

I'm afraid of what I might say.

I bite my tongue every time you come around,

cause blood in my mouth beats blood on the ground.

Hand over my heart; I swear I've tried everything I could within all my power.

Two weeks and one hour I slaved, and now I've got nothing to show.

Oh, if only you'd grow taller than a brick wall.

From now on I'm gonna start holding my breath when you come around

and you flex that fake grin, cause something inside me has said more than twice

that breathing less air beats breathing you in!

I don't want to talk to you anymore;

I'm afraid of what I might say.

I bite my tongue every time you come around,

cause blood in my mouth beats blood on the ground.

Hand over my mouth; I'm earning the right to my silence.

In quiet, discerning between ego and timing.

Good judgment is once again proving to me

that it's still worth it's weight in gold.

From now on I'm gonna be so much more wary when you start to speak

and my warm blood starts to boil,

that seeing you is like pulling teeth and hearing your voice is like

chewing tin foil.

I don't want to talk to you anymore;

I'm afraid of what I might say.

I bite my tongue every time you come around,

cause blood in my mouth beats blood on the ground.

High fives to better judgment. By saying less today, I will gain more.

Low twos to you my fickle friend…

You’ve brought the art of silent war.

Mexico lyrics - Incubus

You could see me reaching

So why couldn't you have met me half way?

You could see me bleeding

And you would not put pressure on the wound.

You only think about yourself...

You only think about yourself...

You better bend before I go

on the first train to Mexico.

You could see me breathing

And you still kept your hand over my mouth.

You could feel me seething

But you just turned your nose up in the air.

You only think about yourself...

You only think about yourself...

You better bend before I go

on the first train to Mexico.

Warning lyrics - Incubus

Bat your eyes girl, be otherworldly,

count your blessings, seduce a stranger.

What's so wrong with being happy?

Kudos to those who see through sickness.

When she woke in the morning

she knew that her life had passed her by.

And she called out a warning,

"Don't ever let life pass you by."

I suggest we learn to love ourselves before it's made illegal.

When will we learn? When will we change?

Just in time to see it all fall down.

Those left standing... will make millions...

writing books on the way it should have been.

When she woke in the morning

she knew that her life had passed her by.

And she called out a warning,

"Don't ever let life pass you by."

Floating in this cosmic jacuzzi

we are like frogs oblivious to the water starting to boil.

No one flinches, we all float face down.

When she woke in the morning

she knew that her life had passed her by.

And she called out a warning,

"Don't ever let life pass you by."

Echo lyrics - Incubus

There’s something about the look in your eyes

Something I noticed when the light was just right

It reminded me twice that I was alive

And it reminded me that you’re so worth the fight

My biggest fear will be the rescue of me

Strange how it turns out that way, yeah

Could you show me dear?

Something I've not seen.

Something infinitely interesting

Could you show me dear?

Something I've not seen.

Something infinitely interesting

There’s something about the way you move

I see your mouth in slow motion when you sing

More subtle than something someone contrives

Your movements echo that I've seen the real thing.

Your biggest fear will be the rescue of you

Strange how it turns out that way, yeah

Could you show me dear?

Something I've not seen.

Something infinitely interesting

Could you show me dear?

Something I've not seen.

Something infinitely interesting

Have You Ever lyrics - Incubus

To get up and walk away would be too easy.

So stay and stand your ground, just watch your mouth with me.

On the back of every right, there's a wrong looming.

So here you and I should tread as soft as these razor blades for boots will let be.

Have you ever tried to step in my shoes?!

Have you ever tried to balance that beam?!

And if you ever tried to fit in my shoes,

They'll never be quite as soft as they seemed.

(Thought!)

Unabashed honesty would be ideal,

But a prophet did once say that honesty is a lonely word.

So where do we go from here... Abandon ship now?

My problem is you made me melt and I don't want to be frozen anymore.

Have you ever tried to step in my shoes?!

Have you ever tried to balance that beam?!

And if you ever tried to fit in my shoes,

They'll never be quite as soft as they seemed.

Have you ever... Have you ever tried to?

I have never... I have never tried to.

Have you ever tried to step in my shoes?!

Will you ever try to balance that beam?!

And if you ever try to fit in my shoes,

They'll never be quite as soft as they seemed.

Are You In lyrics - Incubus

It’s so much better

When everyone is in

Are you in?

It’s so much better

When everyone is in

Are you in?

Oooooh oooooh

Are you in?

Youuuuuu ooooh

Are you in?

It’s so much better

When everyone is in

Are you in?

It’s so much easier

When sea foam green is in fashion

Yooouuuhhhh yooouuuooh

Are you in?

Yooouuuuh oooh oooh ooh

Are you in?

Are you

are you

are you

are you

are you

are you

Are you in?

Yooouuuuuuuh ooh
