Lyrics: Incubus - A crow left of the murder


1. "Megalomaniac"


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 just 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 only one

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

Step down
Step down
Oh step down

Yeah
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 megalomaniac
You're no Jesus
Yeah, you're no fucking Elvis
Wash your hands clean of yourself baby
And just step down, step down, step down


2."A Crow Left Of The Murder"

Un-learn 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 art
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!
On the line, indivisible
A crow left of the murder
Every piece contains a map of it all

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

Un-learn me
Do you get it yet?
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?

3."Agoraphobia"

Two people touching lips
Hands on each other's hips
Nothing 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 sir,
May have forgotten how good your world could be

So, put down your hollow tips
And kiss your lovers lips
And know 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 know 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


4."Talk Show On Mute"

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 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 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 1984
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

5."Beware! Criminal"

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 should really be more wary of the water

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

Beware criminal

A prism with an intellect
You show your light selectivly
You stole my glow, a seasoned thief
The blacks of my eyes are turning into opals

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

Beware
Beware criminal
Criminal
Criminal

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

6."Sick Sad Little World"

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 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

Leave me here in my stark raving sick sad little world

I've never had unpaid confidantes
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
You're 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


7."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
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 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

8."Southern Girl"

Is everything a baited hook?
And are there locks on all 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 bonafide 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 bonafide rarity
You're all I ever wanted
Southern girl
Could you want me?

9."Priceless"

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 lived within

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 upstairs,
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 good-bye
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 an amalgamation
Of the things you aren't
The ways you wish you were
A split second
Perceiving 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

10."Zee Deveel"

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 the devil inside
You should be careful what you wish for
Cause all I want 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 have the devil inside
You should be careful what you wish for
Cause all I want 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 gauge our gravity?

You should be careful what you wish for
Cause everyone of us have the devil inside
You should be careful what you wish for
Cause all I want amounts, becomes you

11."Made For TV Movie"

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

The voice seemed so crystaline clear
Something's unclean in your ear
When only blood fills 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 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 decieve 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 young, we build you too, we see you all

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


12."Smile Lines"

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


13."Here In My Room"

This party is old and uninviting
Participants all in black and white
You enter in fullblown 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
Here in my room, here in my room

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

Pink tractor beam into your incision
Head spinning as free as dervishs' whirl
I came here expecting next to nothing
So thank you for being that kind of girl
That kind of girl

14."Leech"

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 over my head I need a pick-me-up
Its easy to get high when you're standing on our backs, man
Will 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?!

The ride's over
