Aqueous Transmission
Incubus · Incubus Hq Live [2012]
Oars freed from their holes long ago
Lying face up on the floor of my vessel
I marvel at the stars and feel my heart overflow
Further down the river
Further down the river
Further down the river
Further down the river
Two weeks without my lover,
I'm in this boat alone
Floating down a river named Emotion
Will I make it back to shore or drift into the unknown.
Further down the river
Further down the river
Further down the river
Further down the river
I'm building an antenna
Transmissions will be sent when I am through
Maybe we can meet again further down the river
And share what we both discovered, and revel in the view
Further down the river
Further down the river
Further down the river
Further down the river
I'm floating down a river (8x)
