Drive (03:53)
Incubus • Monuments and Melodies
Sometimes, I feel the fear of uncertainty stinging clear.
And I, I can't help but ask myself how much I'll let the fear
take the wheel and steer.

It's driven me before,
and it seems to have a vague,
haunting mass appeal.
And lately I'm beginning to find that I
should be the one behind the wheel.

Whatever tomorrow brings I'll be there
with open arms and open eyes, yeah.
Whatever tomorrow brings I'll be there,
I'll be there.

So if I decide to waiver my chance to be one of the hive
will I choose water over wine
and hold my own and drive? oh oh oooh.

It's driven me before
and it seems to be the way
that everyone else gets around.
But lately I'm beginning to find that
when I drive myself my light is found.

Whatever tomorrow brings I'll be there
with open arms and open eyes, yeah.
Whatever tomorrow brings I'll be there,
I'll be there...

Would you choose water over wine....
hold the wheel and drive?

Whatever tomorrow brings I'll be there
with open arms and open eyes.
Whatever tomorrow brings I'll be there
I'll be there

Dududuu Dududu Dududududu
Tomorrow Dududududuu
Dududuuu Dududu Dududududu

Megalomaniac (04:55)
Incubus • Monuments and Melodies
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
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 the 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
Step down

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

STEP DOWN 3x

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

Anna Molly (03:47)
Incubus • Monuments and Melodies
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 well from loneliness.
Please do persist, girl it's time we met and made a mess.

I picture your face at the back of my eyes.
A fire in the attic, proof of the prize!

Anna-Molly, Anna-Molly, Anna-Molly.

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 at the back of my eyes.
A fire in the attic, proof of the prize!

Anna-Molly, Anna-Molly, Anna-Molly.

I call 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 at the back of my eyes.
A fire in the attic, 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!

Wish You Were Here (03:34)
Incubus • Monuments and Melodies
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
Happy

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 back-lit 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

I wish you were here
I wish you were here
I wish you were, here
Wish you were here

The world's a rollercoaster
And I am not strapped in
Maybe I should hold with care
But my hands are busy in the air, saying

I wish you were here
I wish you were
I wish you were here
I wish you were here
I wish you were, here
Wish you were here

Warning (04:39)
Incubus • Monuments and Melodies
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 yeah...

Over and over and over and over and (oooooo)

She woke in the morning
She knew that her life had passed her by
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 come down...
Those left standing will make millions
Writing books on the way it should have been

She woke in the morning
She knew that her life had passed her by
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

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...
Pass you by...

Stellar (03:21)
Incubus • Monuments and Melodies
Meet me in outer space.
WE could spend the night; watch the earth come up.
I've grown tired of that place; won't you come with me?
WE could start again.

How do you do it?
Make me feel like I do.
How do you do it?
It's better than I ever knew.

Meet me in outer space.
I will hold you close, if you're afraid of heights.
I need you to see this place, it might be the only way that I can show you how it feels to be inside of you.

How do you do it?
Make me feel like I do.
How do you do it?
It's better than I ever knew.
How do you do it?
Make me feel like I do (do).

Ohhhhh
You are stellar.
You are stellar.

How do you do it?
Make me feel like I do.
How do you do it?
It's better than I ever knew.

How do you do it?
Make me feel like I do.
How do you do it?
Make me feel like I do.

Talk Shows on Mute (03:49)
Incubus • Monuments and Melodies
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-eighty four
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 nineteen-eighty four
Yeah, three, two, one...
Lights! camera! Yeah!

Come one, come all
Into nineteen-eighty four
Yeah, three, two, one...
Lights! camera! Transaction!
Lights! camera! Transaction!
Yeah yeah yeah!

Come one, come all
Into nineteen-eighty four
Yeah, three, two, one...
Lights! camera! Transaction!
Ohhh....

Your foundation is canyoning
Fault lines should be worn with pride
I hate to say
So much more
You're so much more
Endearing with the sound turned off

Pardon Me (03:45)
Incubus • Monuments and Melodies
Pardon me while I burst
Pardon me while I burst

A decade ago, I never thought I would be
At twenty-three on the verge of spontaneous combustion
Woe is me
But I guess that it comes with the territory
An ominous landscape of never-ending calamity
I need you to hear, I need you to see
That I have had all I can take
And exploding seems like a definite possibility to me

So pardon me while I burst into flames
I've had enough of the world and its people's mindless games
So pardon me while I burn and rise above the flame
Pardon me, pardon me
They'll never be the same

Not two days ago, I was having a look in a book
And I saw a picture of a guy fried up above his knees
I said, "I can relate,"
'Cause lately I've been thinking of combustication
As a welcomed vacation from
The burdens of the planet Earth
Like gravity, hypocrisy, and the perils of being in 3-D
But thinking so much differently

Pardon me while I burst into flames
I've had enough of the world and its people's mindless games
So pardon me while I burn and rise above the flame
Pardon me, pardon me
They'll never be the same

Never be the same, yeah

Pardon me while I burst into flames
Pardon me, pardon me, pardon me

So pardon me while I burst into flames
I've had enough of the world and its people's mindless games
So pardon me while I burn and rise above the flame
Pardon me, pardon me
They'll never be the same

Pardon me
Never be the same, yeah

Dig (04:18)
Incubus • Monuments and Melodies
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.

Oh! 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.
Oh, Each other...,When everything else is gone.

Oil and Water (03:50)
Incubus • Monuments and Melodies
You and I are like oil and water
and we’ve been trying, trying, trying
ohhhhh, to mix it up.

We’ve been dancing on a volcano
and we’ve been crying, crying, crying
over blackened soles.

Babe, this wouldn’t be the first time.
It will not be the last time.
There is no parasol that could shelter this weather.

I been smiling with anchors on my shoulders
But I’ve been dying, dying, dying
ohhh, ohhh, 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 could shelter this weather.

Babe, this wouldn’t be the first time.
It will not be the last time.
We were trying to believe everything would get better.

We been lying to each other
Hey! Babe! Let’s just call it, call it, call it
Ohhhhhhhhhhh, what it is!
Oil and water! (wouldn't be the first time)
Oil and water! (will not be the last time)
Oil and water! (wouldn't be the first time)
Ohhhhhhhhhhh...

Nice to Know You (04:44)
Incubus • Monuments and Melodies
Better than watching Geller bending silver spoons
Better than witnessing newborn nebulas 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
Nice to know you, goodbye
Nice to know you, goodbye
Nice to know you goodbye
Nice to know
To know you

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 to 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
Nice to know you, goodbye
Nice to know you, goodbye
Nice to know you goodbye
Nice to know
To know you...

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

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
Nice to know you, goodbye
Nice to know you, goodbye
Nice to know you goodbye
Nice to know
To know you...
