Mexico Lyrics - Incubus

Artist: Incubus

Album: Monuments and Melodies (2009)

You could see me reaching

So why couldn't you have

Met me halfway

You could see me bleeding

But you could not put

Pressure on the wound

You only think about yourself

You only think about yourself

You'd better bend before I go

On the first train to Mexico

You could see me breathing

But 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'd better bend before I go

On the first train to Mexico

You only think about yourself

You only think about yourself

You'd better bend before I go

On the first train to Mexico

Let's Go Crazy Lyrics - Incubus

Artist: Incubus

Album: Monuments and Melodies (2009)

Dearly beloved

We are gathered here today

2 get through this thing called life

Electric word life

It means forever and that's a mighty long time

But I'm here 2 tell u

There's something else

The afterworld

A world of never ending happiness

U can always see the sun, day or night

So when u call up that shrink in Beverly Hills

U 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 de-elevator tries 2 bring u down

Go crazy - punch a higher floor

If u don't like the world you're living in

Take a look around u

At least u got friends

U see I called my old lady

4 a friendly word

She picked up the phone

Dropped it on the floor

(Sex, sex) is all I heard

Are we gonna let de-elevator

Bring us down

Oh, no Let's Go!

Let's go crazy

Let's get nuts

Let's look 4 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 4 (What's it all 4)

U better live now

Before the grim reaper come knocking on your door

Tell me, are we gonna let de-elevator bring us down

Oh, no let's go!

Let's go crazy

Let's get nuts

Look 4 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 de-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 dafodills will kill

Hang tough children

He's coming

He's coming

Coming

Take me away!

Monuments and Melodies Lyrics - Incubus

Artist: Incubus

Album: Monuments and Melodies (2009)

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

A Certain Shade of Green Lyrics - Incubus

Artist: Incubus

Album: Monuments and Melodies (2009)

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?

Martini Lyrics - Incubus

Artist: Incubus

Album: Monuments and Melodies (2009)

she was a new mean beauty queen

money, drugs, magazines

that didn’t do nothin’

that didn’t do nothin’

they gave her diamonds

shiny boys, city speak, every toy

that didn’t do nothin’

no nothin’ for her

you can

lead a horse to water

but you can’t expect it to drink

now ain’t that somethin’?

now ain’t that somethin’?

yea when the world is

at you’re 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

Admiration Lyrics - Incubus

Artist: Incubus

Album: Monuments and Melodies (2009)

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

Punchdrunk Lyrics - Incubus

Artist: Incubus

Album: Monuments and Melodies (2009)

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?)

Anything Lyrics - Incubus

Artist: Incubus

Album: Monuments and Melodies (2009)

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 (????)

I could snap at any moment

And I might feel more expensive

Oohhh

Chorus:

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

(????) and hanging from my ear

And in that moment I went unfazed

So take what you can while you can

(??????)

I could snap at any moment and remember

I was not born to be sold

Chorus

Pantomime Lyrics - Incubus

Artist: Incubus

Album: Monuments and Melodies (2009)

In my fantasy I'm a pantomime

I'll just move my hands and everyone sees what I mean

Words are too messy

And it's way past time

To end in my mouth

Paint my face white and tried

Reinvent the sea

One wave at a time

Speak without my voice and see the world by candlelight

I ain't afraid to let it out

I'm not afraid to take that fall

But I have found beyond all doubt

We say more by saying nothing at all

In my fantasy no such thing as time

Minutes bleed into days

Avant garde

Show me your heresies

And I'll show you mine

We only speak in pantomimes on this carpet ride

I ain't afraid to let it out

I'm not afraid to take that fall

But I have found beyond all doubt

We say more by saying nothing at all

In my fantasy you look good entwined

In my hair and skin and spit and sweat and spilled red wine

You're my deep secret

I'm your pantomime

I'll just move my hands

I promise you'll see what I mean

While All the Vultures Feed Lyrics - Incubus

Artist: Incubus

Album: Monuments and Melodies (2009)

(Verse 1)

The Future is on Fire

of a dying breed.

Don't understate our relevance,

We're the eyes and the Walls

and we witness the Vultures feed.

Yeah!

(Chorus)

(Ohhhh)

Stay wide awake.

Stay wide awake.Yeah!

(Ohhhh)

Make haste 'cause predators precede.

(Ohhhh)

Stay wide awake.

Stay wide awake.Yeah!

(Ohhhh)

While all the Vultures feed.

(Verse 2)

Like angles in a sphere,

of our own design.

No more perpetual innocence.

With words we make shapes,

and our angles can align.

Yeahhh

(Bridge)

And our appetite's careless and menacing.

It humbles me...

We breath softly ?as like the predator?

Such is a sight to see.

(Chorus 2x)

Stay wide awake,

While all the vultures feed (x4)

Look Alive Lyrics - Incubus

Artist: Incubus

Album: Monuments and Melodies (2009)

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

ill just make a mess of it, ya know

Give me all the sustinance and the

wiser, wider part of me will show, yeahhhh 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 led and running south like

jealous storm has carried down your face

You could take that wait and all that fuss so

now just get the best of us, ya know

Give me love not suicide and the

wise, wider part of me will show yeahhhh yeahhh

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 yoursssssss

Look alive, smile

Smile and look alive

Smile, smile and look alive, yeahhhhh woah ohhhh

(2x) 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 (2nd time)

Look alive

Smile, smile and look alive

Yeah, smile and look alive

Yeahhhhhhhh woah!
