Альбом 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
And 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
And step down, step down

Yeah
You're no Jesus
You're not Elvis

You're no answer

Hey megalomaniac
You're no Jesus
Yeah, you're no fucking Elvis
Wash Your hands clean of Yourself, baby
And step down, step down

Unlearn 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 face contains a map of it all!
It all!

Ever dance?
March through the air?
Pulse through 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 face contains a map of it all!
It all!

And on the line, indivisible
A crow left of the murder
Every face contains a map of it all!
It all!

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

Unlearn Me
Do You get it yet?
Look, Find, Free
Do you get it yet?

Two people touching lips
Hands on each other's hips
Nothing in 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 say, "We have forgotten how cordial war could be"

So, put down your hollow tips
And kiss your lovers lips
And learn that fate is what you make of it

Please end this
Before it ends us

I wanna stay inside
I wanna stay inside for good
I wanna stay inside
For good

I read the news today
And everything they say
Just makes me want to stay inside

And a better part of me knows
That waiting in the throes
Is all on 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 learn that fate is what we make of it

Please end this
Before it ends us

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

Take a bow
Gunpowder
Wash 'em out with buzzing lights
Pay an audience to care
"Impress me" personality

Still a transfixed
The electric sheep are dreaming of your face
Enjoy you from the chemical
Comfort all 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 a transfixed
The electric sheep but dreaming up your fate
And judge you from the card castle
Comfort all America

Come one, come all
Into 1984
Yeah, three, two, one
Lights, camera, transaction

The foundation is canyon-ing
Fault-lines should be worn with pride
I hate to say
There's so much more
There's so much more

Enduring with the sound turned off

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'd really be more wary of the water

You came, you saw, you conquered
Everyone
And I'm left here guessing
What went wrong
Yeah, I'm down
But not out, and far from done

Beware criminal

A prison with an intellect
You show your eyes selectively
You stole my glow, a seasoned thief
The blacks of my eyes are turning into open wounds

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
And I'm left here guessing
What went wrong
Yeah, I'm down
But not out, and far from done

Beware criminal

Did you think I wouldn't notice?
Did you really think I wouldn't care?
Did you think I wouldn't notice?
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

Beware criminal

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

This world is a drought when out of love
Please come back to us
For 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 opaque confidence
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
For 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

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 ink well
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 offence 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

Is everything a baited hook?
And are there locks on our doors?
If your 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 of an unthought 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 of an unthought rarity
You're all I ever wanted
Southern girl
Could you want me?

The fact that you
You think you can
Speak to me
The way you do
It pains me to believe that you
Have never stepped out of the skin you've lived with

And then, and if
This day occurs
Your tongue, the taste
Will immitate 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
Up stairs, the attic is a place of solitaire
Isn't big enough for both of us
So who will swim in eel infested oceans

Kiss and say goodbye
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 a proclamation
Of the things you aren't
The ways you wish you were
A split second
Percieving 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

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 a devil inside
You should be careful what you wish for
Cause all I want abounds becomes you

Nice watch
Man, you got the time?
There's 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 a devil inside
You should be careful what you wish for
Cause all I want abounds becomes you

Nice watch
Man, you got the time?
There's 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 a devil inside
You should be careful what you wish for
Cause all I want abounds, becomes you

I heard a word from on high
Clear like a light in the sky
It said, "quit blowing each other up"

The voice seemed so crystally clear
Some things are clean in your ear
When only blood fills your cup

Hello
I'm trying to focus, but my eyes deceive 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 deceive 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 hill, we build you too, we see you

Hello
I'm trying to focus, but my eyes deceive me
Focus
I'm witnessing history repeating

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

This party is old and uninviting
Participants all in black and white
You enter in full blown 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

You enter and close the door behind you
Now show me the world seen from the stars
If only the lights would dim a little
I'm weary of eyes upon my scars

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

Pink tractor beam into your incision
Head spinning is free
Its dervish ...
I came here expecting next to nothing
So thank you for being that kind of girl

Does it make you envy?
Does it make you proud?
To tuck the world into a paper bag
This body's state 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
Would 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, fair thee well
The ride's over, did you enjoy yourself?
The ride's over, fair thee 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, fair thee well
The ride's over, did you enjoy yourself?
The ride's over, fair thee 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, fair thee well
The ride's over, did you enjoy yourself?
The ride's over, fair thee well

The ride's over

Megalomaniac Single, Crow Left of the Murder Import

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 choose 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
