What if your brain,
Unexpectedly and suddenly,
Picked out things to flip around
And view a lot differently?
What if blue sky,
All of a sudden turned a purple hue?
We would shit a brick the size of all of it

What if?
What if I was just daydreaming?
What if I lived in a pear?
What if my watch read 4:20 every hour, every day?
You can bet your dollar I'd be happy!
I forgot to remember,
I forgot to remember my pain.

Take me to your leader
Or die by the fly guy!
What if mothballs,
Hangin' around too close to microwaves
Suddenly woke up and said,
"Take me to your leader
Or die by fly guy!
He'll push ya' out,
No wings attached!"
Just do as I say, no mistake,
He'll blow away.

What if I was daydreaming?
What if I lived in a pear?
What if I had a mustard drenched cucumber
Tied to my leg and I
Did not want my pants to get dirty?
What if this, what if that?!
Go! I forgot to remember
I forgot to remember my pain. Take me to your leader
Or die by the fly guy!

I forgot to remember my, pain!
My pain!
Forgot to inject my, cocaine!
Forgot to apply my, rogaine!
Forgot to remember, my pain!

I never think, I never thought,
Oh maybe I'm insane!
I think I like being
Way the fuck out of my brain!

I forgot to remember,
I forgot to remember my pain.
Take me to your leader
Or die by the fly guy!

    General Comment:An early day Incubus song. I personally think this is a song about absolutely nothing. But it's catchy and god damn awesome!

    General Comment:omg, i never looked properly at these lyrics before. they're mad, but i guess the video makes more sense now.
    i just love the video, the way incubus are dressed as little jungle mad men and you find out they actually live on a traffic island. doesnt that say it all. god i love incubus!
    its fair enough to think about the meaning of this song and i'm sure u could attempt to make one up that fits ... but i think maybe incubus were just young and going a bit crazy and just wrote down a load of random shit, put it with some ace music and hey presto another fucking amazing song.

    you can find the video on youtube or on their dvd, called "Volume 2"- i reccomend it, its so funny. plus u get to see brandon in tiny tiny jungle pants ! lol common who wouldn't want that! xxxx
