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 f*ck 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!

Incubus

An incubus (nominal form constructed from the Latin verb, incubo, incubare, or "to lie upon") is a demon in male form who, according to a number of mythological and legendary traditions, lies upon sleepers, especially women, in order to have sexual intercourse with them. Its female counterpart is the succubus. An incubus may pursue sexual relations with a woman in order to father a child, as in the legend of Merlin. Religious tradition holds that repeated intercourse with an incubus or succubus may result in the deterioration of health, or even death. more »
