Medium, medium.

Waking up I smell the scent of coffee on the brew,
and I think about the amount of the sweet,
I'd like to have in my cup today.
One for the two lump, three lump, four.
No half of one, no less no more.

Just give me a chance, let me make it mine.
I'd like a medium blend of that piece of pie.
Not too bitter, not too sweet
Medium.
Just enough to ?
Medium.
Not too bitter, not too sweet
Medium.
Just enough to ?
Medium.

Dinner time just rolls around,
and I think I crave a steak but,
I'm not too partial to the meat,
when it's cooked too long and I'm made to wait.

Not too much of the parsony,
and just enough of the spice.
I think I'd enjoy a medium-rare dish with a side of fries.
Not too tender, not too tough
Medium.
Not too little, just enough
Medium.
Not too tender, not too tough
Medium.
Not too little, just enough
Medium.
Medium. Medium. Medium. Medium. Just a medium. Medium.

? and I smell the pits but ?
I could've sworn a ? last week and scrubbed like ?
I like to stink just a little bit,
just to keep you on your toes yes.
The more I stink the more I think,
that you smell like a rose.

Not too pleasant, not too bad
Medium.
Just enough to hold my ?
Medium.
Not too pleasant, not too bad
Medium.
Just enough to hold my ?
Medium.
Medium. [Repeat: x6]

    General Comment:I love this song. At some point in my life, I came to the inevitable conclusion that balance is the key to happiness in life and not driving one's self to "analysis till paralysis." I became infatuated with the concept of balance about a couple of years ago when I was 21. I'd like to think that Brandon was going through a similar episode when he wrote these lyrics. It's so funny...my Dad is the one who led me to this conclusion by overly preaching "Balance is key." for years, it annoyed the hell out of me. My point being, there's a lyrics in the song "Not too pleasant, not too bad. Just enough to hurt my Dad." Always freaks me out to hear that part lol...Spooky, Brandon.

    General Comment:Blah.

    This song is OBVIOUSLY about living your life with balance, and everything in moderation...

    even the pursuit of justice :)

    General Comment:"i could have sworn i bathed last week and scrubbed like a good lad"

    This is what I hear. This song is just fun to me, but to get into meanings, I wonder if he is seeking the buddhist "middle path".

    General Comment:K well just to clear things up the sentence is:

    Come Thursday morning and I smell the pits but hey it aint that bad.

    I could have sworn I'd be less reek if I scrubbed like a good lad.

    I got it off of the website hunglikeyora.net (hence my screen name) its an unofficial incubus website with bios and lyrics and all that good stuff.

    ??? and I smell the pits but ?????.
    I could've sworn a ??? last week and scrubbed like ???.

    i think i have some of the blanks filled

    ??? and I smell the pits but hey it aint that bad
    i could have sworn i bathed last week and scrubbed like a good lad

    i have no idea if the first sentence is right, but im pretty certain about the 2nd one
