Incubus Lyrics - Look Alive

Incubus Lyrics
Album: Light Grenades (2006)

"Look Alive"

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!

Incubus Lyrics - Punchdrunk

Incubus Lyrics
Album: Light Grenades (2006)

"Punchdrunk"

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?)

"Earth To Bella, Pt. 2"

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

Incubus Lyrics - Pendulous Threads

Incubus Lyrics
Album: Light Grenades (2006)

"Pendulous Threads"

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!)

Incubus Lyrics - Paper Shoes

Incubus Lyrics
Album: Light Grenades (2006)

"Paper Shoes"

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 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

Incubus Lyrics - Rogues

Incubus Lyrics
Album: Light Grenades (2006)

"Rogues"

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

Incubus Lyrics - Diamonds And Coal

Incubus Lyrics
Album: Light Grenades (2006)

"Diamonds And Coal"

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

Incubus Lyrics - Oil And Water

Incubus Lyrics
Album: Light Grenades (2006)

"Oil And Water"

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!

Incubus Lyrics - Earth To Bella, Pt. 1

Incubus Lyrics
Album: Light Grenades (2006)

"Earth To Bella, Pt. 1"

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

Incubus Lyrics - Light Grenades

Incubus Lyrics
Album: Light Grenades (2006)

"Light Grenades"

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 the 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!!!
