Anything lyrics - Incubus

I met the day 
Feeling cheaper than usual 
I guess you could say that I'm on sale 
So take what you can while you can 
Shop now, intensive
I could snap at any moment 
And I might feel more expensive 

I don't owe anything to you 
I don't owe anything to you 
You don't you know me half as well as you think you do 
I don't owe anything 
anything to you 

I met the mirror 
pressed it came from my ear
And in that moment I went unfazed 
So take what you can while you can 
Less conscious solely means more gold
I could snap at any moment and remember 
I was not born to be sold 

I don't owe anything to you 
I don't owe anything to you 
You don't you know me half as well as you think you do 
I don't owe anything 
anything to you

Admiration lyrics - Incubus

Could you move in slow motion?
Everything goes by so fast 
Just slow down a little 
Save the best part for last

You speak in riddles 
Your intentions turn me on 
I'm your's forever 
Will you love me when I'm gone?

When I'm gone!

When I'm gone,
You're an unfenced fire!
(When I'm gone,)
Over walls we've trampled!
(When I'm gone,)
It's you I admire!
(When I'm gone,)
My living example...

Your eyes are an undiscovered ocean far away 
Any minute now keeping 
Both poets and priests at bay 
Don't get ahead of me 
Could we just this once see eye to eye? 
Could you want perhaps me?
Ask me how it feels to vie

To vie!

You're an unfenced fire! (to vie)
Over walls we trampled! (to vie)
It's you I admire! (to vie)
My living example...

It's a photograph discovered a decade after 
It's a cannon blast disguised as a firecracker 
It's enough to bring a brick wall to its knees 
And sing, please

Could you move in slow motion?
Everything goes by so fast 
Just slow down a little 
Save the best part for last

For last!

You're an unfenced fire! (for last) 
Over walls we trampled! (for last)
It's you I admire! (for last)
My living example...
My living example...

It's you I admire!! 
My living example

Martini lyrics - Incubus

She was a new mini-beauty queen
Money drugs magazines
That didn't do nothing
Nah didn't do nothing

They gave her diamonds, shiny boys
City speak, every joy
That didn't do nothing
No nothing for her

You can lead a horse to water
But you can't expect it to drink
Now ain't that something, now ain't that something
Yeah when the world is at your gate
That won't satiate
Why are you crying
If you work for nothing at all?

Don't be a fly in my martini, baby come on down
That roof is high and I'm not climbing tonight
Come down and I'll give you something (hey!) to cry about

Fast cars, (putcha in) bars
Trial and it drown in the scars
It won't do nothing, it won't do nothing
Even the best frame won't change
Your wet paint and you choose the mona lisa, the mona lisa
You've got to dry your eyes baby
I know it's your party and you
Cry if you want, cry if you want to
Yeah when the world is at your gate
And that don't fill your plate
Why are you crying?
If you work for nothing at all

[X3]
Don't be a fly in my martini, baby come on down
That roof is high and I'm not climbing tonight
Come down and I'll give you something (hey!) to cry about

Monuments And Melodies lyrics - Incubus

My hands are trembling
And my eyes are on fire
This house is crumbling
Left brain, left out, on the wire

You make me happy
You magnify my better half
You make me certain
Though all I have today is your photograph

My past is perilous
But each scar I bear sings
Monuments to where I have been
And melodies to where I am going

You make me happy
You magnify my better half
You make me certain
Though all I have today is your photograph

When will I see you again?
Still-life can only go so far
I need you in front of me
Saying my name
Saying to me...
"I want you the way you are
You, the way you are"

You make me happy
You magnify my better half
You make me certain
Though all I have today is your photograph
You make me happy

Let's Go Crazy lyrics - Incubus

Dearly beloved
We are gathered here today
to get through this thing called life

Electric word life
It means forever and that's a mighty long time
But I'm here to tell you
There's something else
The afterworld

A world of never ending happiness
you can always see the sun, day or night

So when you call up that shrink in Beverly Hills
you know the one - Dr Everything'll Be Alright
Instead of asking him how much of your time is left
Ask him how much of your mind, baby

'Cuz in this life
Things are much harder than in the afterworld
In this life
You're on your own

And if the elevator tries to bring you down
Go crazy - punch a higher floor

If you don't like the world you're living in
Take a look around you
At least you got friends

you see I called my old lady
for a friendly word
She picked up the phone
Dropped it on the floor
(Sex, sex) is all I heard

Are we gonna let the elevator
Bring us down
Oh, no Let's Go!

Let's go crazy
Let's get nuts
Let's look for the purple banana
'Til they put us in the truck, let's go!

We're all excited
But we don't know why
Maybe it's cuz
We're all gonna die

And when we do (When we do)
What's it all for (What's it all for)
you better live now
Before the grim reaper come knocking on your door

Tell me, are we gonna let the elevator bring us down
Oh, no let's go!

Let's go crazy
Let's get nuts
Look for the purple banana
'Til they put us in the truck, let's go!

C'mon baby
Let's get nuts
Yeah
Crazy

Let's go crazy

Are we gonna let the elevator bring us down
Oh, no let's go!
Go crazy

I said let's go crazy (Go crazy)
Let's go, let's go
Go
Let's go

Dr. Everything'll be alright
Will make everything go wrong
Pills and thrills and daffodils will kill
Hang tough children

He's coming
He's coming
Coming

Take me away!

"Light Grenades" (2006)




Quicksand lyrics - Incubus

Ok...now the monster is awake
It won't rest until there's nothing left
Maybe ever and anon
I forget about the pain
Someone bending light comes along
and flowers lean towards the sun
Some people fall in love and touch the sky
Some people fall in love and find Quicksand
I hover somewhere in between...I swear...
I can't make up my mind

A Kiss To Send Us Off lyrics - Incubus

Meet me here
On November 11th, come alone
Bring your mouth 
and selective irreverence
We'll both see stars. Just...
One more tongue kiss before
the sky it falls
out from this cloud we're
hovering on!
(A kiss to send us off! A kiss to send us off! A kiss to send us off!)
Kill your doubt
With the coldest of weapons; confidence
No more words
Just the sound of resplendent
tongues colliding
One more tongue kiss before
the sky it falls out from this cloud we're
hovering on!
(A kiss to send us off! A kiss to send us off! A kiss to send us off!)
Here I am
There you are
On the wire connecting our hearts
There's a string, that is tied, to a kite.
There's a storm, in the sky
Now the clouds become electric
There you are
Here I am
Could I...
Have a...
kiss to send us off? A kiss to send us off! A kiss to send us off! A kiss to send us off!

Dig lyrics - Incubus

We all have a weakness
But some of ours are easy to identify.
Look me in the eye
And ask for forgiveness;
We'll make a pact to never speak that word again
Yes you are my friend.
We all have something that digs at us,
At least we dig each other
So when weakness turns my ego up
I know you'll count on the me from yesterday
If I turn into another
Dig me up from under what is covering
The better part of me
Sing this song
Remind me that we'll always have each other
When everything else is gone.
We all have a sickness
That cleverly attaches and multiplies
No matter how we try.
We all have someone that digs at us,
At least we dig each other
So when sickness turns my ego up
I know you'll act as a clever medicine.
If I turn into another
Dig me up from under what is covering
The better part of me.
Sing this song!
Remind me that we'll always have each other
When everything else is gone.
Oh each other....
When everything
Else is gone.

Anna-Molly lyrics - Incubus

A cloud hangs over this city by the sea,
I watch the ships pass and wonder if she might be,
Out there and sober as a well for loneliness,
Please do persist girl its time we met and made, a mess

I picture your face in the back of my eyes,
A fire in the attic a proof of the prize,
Anna-Molly, Anna-Molly, Anna-Molly...
Doo doo doo doo do doo doo doo doo doo

A cloud hangs over,
And mutes my happiness,
A thousand ships couldn't sail me back from distress,
Wish you were here,
I'm a wounded satellite,
I need you now put me back together make me right

I picture your face in the back of my eyes a fire in the attic a proof of the prize,
Anna-Molly, Anna-Molly, Anna-Molly
I'm calling your name up into the air
Not one of the others could ever compare!
Anna-Molly, Anna-Molly!

Wait there is a light,
There is a fire illuminated attic,
Fate or something better I could care less,
Just stay with me a while,
Wait there is a light, there is a fire defragmenting the attic,
Fate or something better I could care less,
Just stay with me a while

I picture your face in the back of my eyes a fire in the attic a proof of the prize,
Anna-Molly, Anna-Molly, Anna-Molly,
I'm calling your name up into the air.
Not one of the others could ever compare!
Anna-Molly, Anna-Molly!

Love Hurts lyrics - Incubus

Tonight we drink to youth
And holding fast to truth
(I don't want to lose what I had as a boy.)
My heart still has a beat
But love is now a feat.
(As common as a cold day in LA.)
Sometimes when I'm alone, I wonder
Is there a spell that I am under
Keeping me from seeing the real thing?

Love hurts...
But sometimes it's a good hurt
And it feels like I'm alive.
Love sings,
When it transcends the bad things.
Have a heart and try me,
'cause without love I won't survive.

I'm fettered and abused,
I stand naked and accused
(Should I surface this one man submarine?)
I only want the truth
So tonight we drink to youth!
(I'll never lose what I had as a boy.)
Sometimes when I'm alone I wonder
Is there a spell that I am under
Keeping me from seeing the real thing?

Love hurts...
But sometimes it's a good hurt
And it feels like I'm alive.
Love sings,
When it transcends the bad things.
Have a heart and try me,
'cause without love I won't survive.

Light Grenades lyrics - Incubus

We're given a garden,
And gave back a parking lot
(We got about fifteen minutes to go...)
Before this audience starts
Throwing tomatoes, yeah!
(It's not the end, there is more show!
We got about fifteen minutes to go!)
Survived the plague
Floated the flood
Just peeked our heads above the mud
No one's immune
Deafening bells,
My God, will we survive ourselves!?
I'm not an alarmist
But someone should break the glass
(and pull that red T-lever down!)
To get their attention
start lobbing the Light Grenades
(that burst and blinf them with the truth,
An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth!)
Survived hte plague
Floated the flood
Just peeked our heads above the mud
No one's immune
Deafening bells,
My God, will we survive ourselves!?
Survived hte plague
Floated the flood
Just peeked our heads above the mud
Wip off your face, we've come this far
Come on! Remember who you are!
(Remember! Remember!)
Come on! Remember who you are!
(Remember! Remember!)
Come on! Remember who you are!!!

Earth To Bella, Pt. 1 lyrics - Incubus

Earth to Bella,
You think you've got it all figured in,
Earth to Bella,
Everything you know is wrong. Well, almost
Earth to Bella,
I've seen when you are not listening
I bear the burden
Of being the voice that lets you know
We all grow old,
And before you swim you gotta be ok to sink.
Earth to Bella,
The world can be an unfriendly place.
SO hold your head up
And do your best to save some face.
It's not so hard...
Just undo yourself and see a
Second sun ascend.
I'm ok to sink
ok to sink
Im ok to sink
ok to sink.

Oil And Water lyrics - Incubus

You and I are like oil and water
And we've been trying, trying trying
Ohhhh, to mix it up.
We've been dancing on a volcano
And we've been crying, crying, crying
Over blackened souls.
Babe, this wouldn't be the first time,
it will not be the last time.
There is no parasol that would shelter this weather.
I been smiling with anchors on my shoulders
But I've been dying, dying, dying
Ohh, Ohh, Oh to let them go.
Babe, this wouldn't be the first time,
it will not be the last time.
There is no parasol that would shelter this weather.
Babe, this wouldn't be the first time,
it will not be the last time.
We were trying to believe that everything would get better.
We've been lying to each other
Hey! Babe! Let's just call it what it is!
Oil and Water!
Oil and Water!
Oil and Water!

Diamonds And Coal lyrics - Incubus

If it's good to complicate then both of us are doing fine.
Just keep your eyes on your part and leave me alone to mine.
If it's good to instigate, we're a fast horse, bet on us.
I'm not calling you an animal;I think we just fight too much.
Hey now, in spite of this we're doing just fine
Even diamonds start as coal.
Give us time to shine,
Even diamonds start as coal.
We're both aligned in frame of mind
But circumstance got us good.
And now you're seeing a side of me
I wish no one ever would.
Yeah, if it's right to pick a fight, we're
Fingers in a sugar bowl.
Love isn't perfect, even diamonds start as coal.
Come on, in spite of this we're doing just fine
Even diamonds start as coal.
Give us time to shine,
Even diamonds start as coal.
Even diamonds start as coal.
We're incomplete and infantine
Even diamonds start as coal.
Give it time girl, the fire feels divine
The sweetest things, they burn before they shine.
We think way too much,
Look at us losing touch!
A promise is a promise until...
Yeah in spite of this we're doing just fine
Even diamonds start as coal.
Give us time to shine,
Even diamonds start as coal.
Even diamonds start as coal.
We're incomplete and infantine
Even diamonds start as coal.

Rogues lyrics - Incubus

I'm keeping an eye on the future
An eye on the past
And the present in my pocket
Just in case I need a door...
Into a brave new world
Where all solutions end up with my head
Buried to my neck in sand.
Enough, enough bowing down to disillusion!
Hats off and applause to Rogues and Evolution!
The ripple effect is too good not to mention
If you're not affected then you're not paying attention!
It's too good, too good, not to have an effect.
I'm keeping an eye on the pulse
An ear to the track and
Penance in a locket
I'm dropping from the highest floor
When it hits the ground
I watch it smash to pieces
Songs of liberation
Echo from the dust
The dust 
Enough, enough bowing down to disillusion!
Hats off and applause to Rogues and Evolution!
The ripple effect is too good not to mention
If you're not affected then you're not paying attention!
It's too good, too good, not to have an effect!
Enough,Enough,Enough,Enough,Enough!
Enough, enough bowing down to disillusion!
Hats off and applause to Rogues and Revolution!
The ripple effect is too good not to mention
If you're not affected then you're not paying attention!
It's too good, too good, too good...yes.

Paper Shoes lyrics - Incubus

I fly
i soar
This I adore
And then like a locomotive
The sound of your sorrow comes.
I'm tired of the way it feels
I only apologized to you to make you feel better
But I think I've outgrown that horsehair sweater.
I'd rather be alone
You're bout as reliable as paper shoes in bad weathers,
But pain will roll off like water on feathers.
You'd fly,you'd soar
But then like a locomotive
The sound of your sorrow comes.
I'm tired of the way it feels
I only apologized to you to make you feel better
But I think I've outgrown that horsehair sweater.
I'd rather be on my own
You're bout as reliable as paper shoes in bad weathers,
But pain will roll off like water on feathers.
I'm tired of the way it feels
I only apologized to you to make you feel better
But I think I've outgrown that horsehair sweater.
I'd rather be alone
You're bout as reliable as paper shoes in bad weathers,
But pain will roll off like water on feathers.

Pendulous Threads lyrics - Incubus

Mend this careless thread, it's gone askew.
(Thread on my sweater is pendulous, step back and pull it.
Watch it unravel faster than a speeding bullet)
Or pull and see how much we can undo.
(Thread on my sweater is pendulous, step back and pull it.
Watch it unravel faster than a speeding buller)

On a burning bridge, your options are minimal at best. 
Depending on where you're standing
and how much breath is in your chest.
If it came down to it
would you high-tail home and hide?
Or dance on fire and enjoy the ride?

Mend this careless thread, it's gone askew.
(Thread on my sweater is pendulous, step back and pull it.
Watch it unravel faster than a speeding bullet!)
Or pull and see how much we can undo.
(Thread on my sweater is pendulous, step back and pull it.
Watch it unravel faster than a speeding bullet!)

At the heart of it all
that innermost, your fiery core
there;s an amassing armor
and it's building you into a bore.
Life's a match in a gas tank
don't ever mourn the ebbing tide
just dance on fire and enjoy the ride!

Hey!

Mend this careless thread, it's gone askew.
(Thread on my sweater is pendulous, step back and pull it.
Watch it unravel faster than a speeding bullet!)
Or pull and see how much we can undo.
(Thread on my sweater is pendulous, step back and pull it.
Watch it unravel faster than a speeding bullet!)

Earth To Bella, Pt. 2 lyrics - Incubus

Earth to Bella
This is a quiet emergency
Earth to Bella
There's so much more to get then wronged
Earth to Bella
You're treading water successfully
But are you really?
Don't you want to see the deep?
It's not so hard
Just forgive yourself and feel the water open in

Punch Drunk lyrics - Incubus

Did I park my car? 
If I found it I would drive so far from here 
The city streets are dim 
And my hands are tempted once again 
To give in... 

I'm having trouble seeing 
I'm punch drunk and 
I need to find a way back home 
It'd be a miracle if you'd oblige 

I will survive 
On this island i am stuck 
Could you correct my crooked luck tonight? 

On the road my thumb is out 
I'm hitchin home tonight I am without a name 
Where was it that I lived? 
Well nevermind just take me with you 
And forget... 

The lack of information 
I'm punch drunk and 
I need to find a way back home 
It'd be a miracle if you'd oblige 

I will survive 
On a silent I am stuck 
Could you correct my crooked luck tonight? 

I will survive 
Tonight I wander and I roam 
Just lookin for a way back home tonight 

The sun is coming up 
I think I've had my fill 
Wait, who the fuck are you? 
Where did I park my car? 
Please forgive my... 

Lack of information 
I'm punch drunk and 
I need to find a way back home 
It'd be a miracle, ohhh 

I'm having trouble seeing 
I'm punch drunk and 
I need to find a way back home 
It'd be a mircale if you'd oblige 

I will survive 
On this island I am stuck 
Could you correct my crooked luck tonight? 

I will survive 
Tonight I wander and I roam 
Just lookin for a way back home tonight 

Spare me... a ride, a ride tonight 
Spare me... a ride, a ride tonight 
(On this island I am stuck 
Could you correct my crooked luck tonight?)

Look Alive lyrics - Incubus

The hardest thing is rendering a
Moment moving too fast to endure
But you abide and smile wide cause
I want to remember this for sure
You can give me guns and politics and
I'll just make a mess of it, you know
Give me all the sustinance and
The wiser wider part of me will show
Yeah yeah yeah

A picture says with sight
What we can't say with words
But you've been walking eyes to feet
In dark sunglasses
A picture will survive
So smile and look alive
The camera lens is opening
The wider angle's yours

Yeah every empty one of us have methods
To quell the madness of this pace
But yours have bled and are running south
Like jealous Dior mascara down your face
You could take that wait and all that fuss so
Now just get the best of us, you know
Give me love not suicide and
The wise wider part of me will show
Yeah yeah

A picture says with sight
What we can't say with words
But you've been walking eyes to feet
In dark sunglasses
A picture will survive
So smile and look alive
The camera lens is opening
The wider angle's yours!

Look alive... smile
Smile and look alive
Smile, smile and look alive
Yeah woah oh

A picture says with sight
What we can't say with words
But you've been walking eyes to feet
In dark sunglasses
A picture will survive
So smile and look alive

A picture says with sight
What we can't say with words
But you've been walking eyes to feet
In dark sunglasses
A picture will survive
So smile and look alive
The camera lens is opening
The wider angle's yours

Look alive
Smile, smile and look alive
Yeah, smile and look alive
Yeah woah!

"A Crow Left Of The Murder" (2004)




Megalomaniac lyrics - Incubus

I hear you on the radio
You permeate my screen, its' unkind but
If I met you in a scissor fight
I'd cut off both your wings on principle alone
On principle alone

Hey megalomaniac
You're no Jesus
Yeah, you're no fucking Elvis
Wash your hands clean of yourself baby
Maniac, step down, step down

If I were your appendages
I'd hold open your eyes
So you would see
That all of us are heaven sent
There was never meant to be only one
To be only one

Hey megalomaniac
You're no Jesus
Yeah, you're no fucking Elvis
Wash your hands clean of yourself baby
Maniac, step down, step down

Yeah
You're no Jesus
You're no Elvis
You're no Jesus
You're no Jesus
You're no Elvis
You're no answer

Step down, step down, 
Step down, step down

Hey megalomaniac
You're no Jesus
Yeah, you're no fucking Elvis
Wash your hands clean of yourself baby
Maniac, step down, step, 
Step down, step down, 
Step down, step down, 
Step down

A Crow Left Of The Murder lyrics - Incubus

Un-learn me
Ditch what I read 
Behind what I heard

Look Find Free 
Yet? Do you get it yet?
Do you get it?
From here on it's instinctual
Even straight roads meander
Every piece contains a map of...
It all! 
It all!

Evidence
In the march of the ant
Pulse of the sea

Look Find Free 
Yet? Do you get it yet?
Do you get it?
From here on it's instinctual
Even straight roads meander
Every piece contains a map of it all! It all!
Out of line and indivisible
A crow left of the murder
Every piece contains a map of it all

Everything I wanted, wanted to know
Everything I wanted, wanted to see

Un-learn me
Do you get it yet?
Look, find, free
Do you get it yet?
Do you get it yet?
Do you get it yet?
Do you get it yet?
Do you get it yet?
Do you get it yet?
Do you get it yet?

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]
