Incubus 5집 - A Crow Left Of The Murder (2004) by Incubus (보컬) on maniadb.com

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

If I were your appendages
I'd hold open your eyes so you could see
That all of us are heaven sent
And there was never meant to be only one, to be only one.

chorus

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.

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 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 the line and indivisible
A crow left of the murder
Every piece contains a map of it all! It all!
Everything I wanted
wanted to know
Everything I wanted
wanted to see
to see
Unlearn me
Unlearn me
Do you get it?
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?!!

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've strayed so far from this

Remember when we were
Just flesh and bone
You sir may have forgotten how good your world can be

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

Please end this, please end this
Before this ends us, 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 wait

But the better part of me knows
That waiting in the throws
Is 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 know that fate is what we make of it

Please end this, please end this
Before this ends us, 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

★영국 소설가 조지 오웰(George Orwell)의 대표작 [1984]에서 영감을 받아 가사를 썼다는 'Talk Shows On Mute'에서는 오웰리즘(Orwellism), 즉 선전을 위한 사실의 왜곡과 조작에 관한 얘기를 담고 있는데, 조용하지만 냉소적인 톤으로 TV 매체에 대한 비판을 가하고 있다.

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 nineteen-eightyfour
Yeah, three, two, one...
Lights! camera! transaction!

Quick, Your time is almost up
Make 'em forget that they're the moth
Edging in towards the flame
Burn into obscurity

Still and transfixed
The electric sheep but dreaming up your fate
We judge you from the card castle
Comfort of America

Come one, come all
Into nineteen-eightyfour
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

You crawl in bed
Its three am
You smell of wine and cigarettes
A butterfly under the glass
You are beautiful
But youre not going anywhere
We do the same thing every night
I swear Ive 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
Im left here guessing
What went wrong
Yeah Im down but not out
And far from done…hey all
Beware! criminal

A prism
With an intellect
You throw your light selectively
You stole my glow
A seasoned thief
The blacks of my eyes are turning into opals
Today I walk
Theres nothing here left for me
But empty promises
And the thought of all the things Im never getting back

You came you saw you conquered
Everyone
Im left here bleeding
What went wrong
Yeah Im down but not out
And far from done…hey all
Beware! Criminal

Did you think I wouldn’t notice
Did you really think I wouldn’t care

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.
He said:
Leave me here in my stark raving, sick, sad little world.
Leave me here in my stark raving, sick, sad little world.
I've never had unpaid confidantes,
its 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.
He said:
Leave me here in my stark raving, sick, sad little world.
Leave me here in my stark raving, sick, sad little world.
Leave me here in my stark raving, sick, sad little world.
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
Let go of your fear, fear yeah
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
Let go of your fear, fear yeah
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
Let go of your fear, fear yeah
Yeah, my pen is a Pistola

Is everything a baited hook?
And are there locks on our 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 bona fide 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 bona fide 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

So right
Because of stairs
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 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... Priceless.. So priceless...

It's an amalgamation of the things, you aren't
The ways you wish you were
A split second, percieveing of the way
You really look to everyone of them

I wish, that you could see because
I wish that you could laugh

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...
So priceless..
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 gage 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 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
Price tags! Advertise your pride
Since when did what we pay
for colored cloth gage our gravity?

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

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

Voicing so crystaline clear
Some thing's unclean in your ear
When only blood will fill 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 machine 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. Focus.
Focus. 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 yang, we build you too, we see you!

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

Met my match today
Felt the blood rushing and mingling
A curious and enigmatic thing
Now 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"

(I'll) never act my age
(But) 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, no, 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"

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 spining as free as dervishs' whirl
I came here expecting next to nothing
So thank you for being that kind of girl

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 in 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. 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?
Not on my time

The ride's over
