One of Incubus' most highly praised, longest and enduring songs, ‘Sick Sad Little World’ is considered to be guitarist Mike Einziger’s magnum opus, with his lengthy solos being the highlight.
[Verse 1]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
The world is a drought 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, he said, he said
[Chorus]
"Leave me here in my
Stark raving, sick, sad, little world
Leave me here in my
Stark raving, sick, sad, little world", ha
[Verse 2]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
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, he said, he said
[Chorus]
"Leave me here in my
Stark raving, sick, sad, little world
Leave me here in my
Stark raving, sick, sad, little world"
