Incubus - Nimble Bastard Lyrics






Has it come to this?
We're stuck in the weeds
I get it, I'm not perfect, I was never trying to be
But I'm not long for this earth
If we really only ever get one chance to burn
I gotta trip before I can see the finish
How else would I learn?
I wanna know, how is it you do it?

When you land on your feet
You're a nimble bastard
And you don't skip a beat
Such a nimble bastard
Salt of the earth
Such a nimble bastard
Yeah, won't you show, lowly us
How do you see the stars from that far down?

I swing and I miss
And then come the creeps
It makes me want to faint
I wanna know, how is it you do it?
How do you spill the paint?
And then fit it into a frame?

When you land on your feet
You're a nimble bastard
And you don't skip a beat
Such a nimble bastard
Salt of the earth
Such a nimble bastard
Yeah, won't you show, lowly us
How do you see the stars from that far down?

Has it come to this?
Has it come to this?

When you land on your feet
You're a nimble bastard
And you don't skip a beat
Such a nimble bastard
Salt of the earth
Look out
Won't you show, lowly us
How do you see the stars from that far down?
You're a nimble bastard
Salt of the earth
Such a nimble bastard
Salt of the earth
You're such a nimble bastard
Yeah, won't you show, lowly us
How do you see the stars?

    Has it come to this?
    We're stuck in the weeds
    I get it, I'm not perfect, I was never trying to be
    But I'm not long for this earth
    If we really only ever get one chance to burn
    I gotta trip before I can see the finish
    How else would I learn?
    I wanna know, how is it you do it?

    When you land on your feet
    You're a nimble bastard
    And you don't skip a beat
    Such a nimble bastard
    Salt of the earth
    Such a nimble bastard
    Won't you show, lowly us
    How do you see the stars from that far down?

    Ah ha, I swing and I miss
    And then come the creeps
    It makes me want to faint
    I wanna know, how is it you do it?
    Ah ha, how do you spill the paint?
    And then fit it into a frame?

    When you land on your feet
    You're a nimble bastard
    And you don't skip a beat
    Such a nimble bastard
    Salt of the earth
    Such a nimble bastard
    Yeah, won't you show, lowly us
    How do you see the stars from that far down?

    Has it come to this?

  8. V.... �....

    I don’t know what it is, this song is still the best when I go hiking!! It pushes me to the core every time!!!!!!

  9. N.... N....

    You know bands are dead when they start releasing pop songs with lyric videos (you're just like Blink 182). What the fuck is this? First time listening into to it and I just won't keep listening.

  10. J.... N....

    In all my 30 years on this planet there has never been a band that has made music that hits my soul quite like incubus.

  11. N.... L....

    FYI I think I might not be he only one that’s been edited

  12. F.... L....

    lol incredible how Incubus have declined. At least they've been consistent since ACLM.

  13. T.... ....

    Who hurt them? Two of the songs in this album sound like break up songs

  14. P.... K....

    This is the original mix before Skrillex raped kittens all over it. How do you sell a kick that hollow? It’s like St. Anger style mixing.

  15. N.... ....

    By far my favorite Incubus song

  16. g.... ....

    Sans is a nimble bastard.

  17. N.... R....

    Brandon the best ever 😎😎

  18. G.... ....

    But, why would they play this in 120 Minutes music videos?? I'm very confused I thought... It's only music videos of artists from the show now but I stayed up to watch this week like I always try to and no joke they played this song in there. I was hella and still am hella confused bc like, that show ended in like 2000, so they usually only play music videos of artists from that show, but all the videos are from the 80's or 90's.

  19. s.... c....

    ONE WORD. YEEEES!

  20. V.... P....

    Ohrwurm :P

  21. M.... M....

    you copyrighted my content even though this song isnt in my video...

  22. A.... L....

    Science was THE BEST album! They'll unfortunately never go back to that sound.

  23. j.... b....

    Def not the same album version of the song. Both great but I like this mix better.

  24. D.... ....

    Reminds me of Crow, which is one of my favorite albums.

  25. N.... R....

    My ears are orgasming 😁🤘🤘

  26. A.... A....

    Is this real????? Wow!!!!!

  27. G.... W....

    I rarely watch this version because I love the video so much.
    At least we get a few puppers to ease my withdrawl.

  28. k.... J....

    Look I like the album but Incubus's next album would be like the most amazing album of the century they mixed 8's electronic work with A Crow left of the murder' s instrumentation and If not now when's lyricism ( with the exception of the original).

    k.... J....

    Tbh that trust fall ep that came out seemed like what was going to happen but then it took a random turn into 8

  29. T.... ....

    Why does this sound like nothing More?

  30. E.... J....

    You're just a salt of the Earth

  31. D.... A....

    awesome

  32. C.... C....

    This song gives me the heebee jeebees like all of monuments and melodies did when i was just a lad.

  33. C.... A....

    has it come to this

  34. M.... R....

    This song sounds like Pistola from Crow Left of the Murder

  35. R.... T....

    I love incubus, but this song is generic. I'm not hating on them, its just its not very remarkable at all. It just sounds like a B side track.

  36. T.... M....

    Fucking bastards have made a single out of my phrase....the young shits ... I'll have to find another phrase 😑🇮🇳👍

  37. A.... C....

    This is not good. I want the 'old' Incubus back... but they are still my fav. Band ever!

  38. M.... O....

    I heard Skrillex produced this album. That's too bad. It sounds like Incubus had complete creative control, which is fucking fantastic, but God damn it's over produced... Love this song, though. Long time incubus fan as well.

  39. N.... L....

    you cover up what shawn said about the views on the fan video but you still show 2.7 on sorry im not stupid

  40. N.... H....

    Love this!! 😍

  41. S.... U....

    skater surfer music

  42. R.... M....

    😊I missed this

  43. A.... O....

    Reminds me of Live!

  44. A.... R....

    they sound incredible fresh.... like it...

  45. K.... S....

    I don't understand the laziness here? You guys could be 400x better than this if you applied yourself.

  46. l.... m....

    No just no I don't like this one at all just being honest I like there old music tho

  47. N.... R....

    saw this live lastnight at starplex/gexa in dallas. This song sounded especially amazing live!

  48. M.... K....

    Sucks a $$ !!!!!

  49. J.... L....

    getting ready for Saturday's concert

  50. C.... M....

    Cuidado esse cão passa mensagens telepaticas aos donos para cometerem suicídio.

  51. D.... V....

    ''Song better make his smirk cause it's awfully encouraging.
    Okay? Okay! 😏 👌 👌 👌

  52. H.... ....

    Best Song of 2017

  53. J.... S....

    909 people are nimble bastards

  54. r.... G....

    rolled my rzr to this song lol

  55. y.... ....

    the lirics appear after the song, trash lirics video.

  56. A.... ....

    I wasn't super into this song but I love 2:00 a lot

  57. M.... ....

    this is awesome

  58. J.... S....

    Brandon you're my HERO!

  59. F.... G....

    anyone else think this sounds a lot like j-pop?

  60. K.... R....

    love miles kennady

  61. t.... ....

    I like the punk rock sound. It isn't as intricate as some of their older songs, but come on it's something new. The rock front needs some good new tunes nowadays. Can't wait to hear the rest.

  62. A.... S....

    So Fkn glad it's come to this !!

  63. L.... B....

    Can't say I'm very impressed. I'm a little disappointed.,.

  64. E.... M....

    I can't stop listening this song

  65. G.... T....

    This is a good song for skateboarding . Skate and destroy

  66. R.... ....

    Anyone else think this sounds like Panic at the Disco? At least the singer?

  67. j.... b....

    cant wait to go see them. Got my tickets already.

  68. g.... ....

    Sounds like Chevelle in the verses, and some sort of melodic punk during the chorus.

  69. x.... ....

    Legitimately my favorite song of theirs
    Congrats Incubus!

  70. S.... H....

    Awesome lyrics, precious singer

  71. h.... ....

    why is Incubus trying to be hard metal? they're much better when they play more chill imo. I'll always prefer Nimble Bastard to anything by LP, but then anyone would, but it just seems kinda meh to me

  72. P.... ....

    This version is better than the album version.

  73. z.... n....

    Them and the new red hit chili peppers have gotten darker

  74. M.... N....

    The lyrics describe Trump to a T

  75. D.... D....

    They sound a lot like old Jimmy Eat World. I Approve

  76. P.... K....

    Why the fuck did you remix this song? God the new one sounds absolutely AWFUL!

  77. 5.... Y....

    Love you guys! Check out our band. 5 Year Warranty!

  78. j.... m....

    this is so lit wohoooooooooooooo

  79. C.... C....

    genial que vallan a volver a Colombia 👌👌

  80. C.... B....

    I agree!!,take notes linkin park ,that a band that been out longer than u ,will never change for the so called mainstream crap they called music.they stay true to them self and still make fucking good music!!!!!

  81. M.... P....

    These guys must be in their 40's and their still killing it.

  82. G.... ....

    I dunno why the record producer decided to over work this song but this version sounds so much better. The album version is so over blown with compression its disgusting.

  83. e.... ....

    why incubus is so the good !

  84. M.... T....

    every song on this album is 🔥🔥🔥

  85. d.... ....

    Brandon's voice is fucking flawless 😍✨👌🏻

  86. P.... R....

    I use to love this band back in the Fungus Amongus, S.C.I.E.N.C.E. And Make Yourself era but I just can't get into anything they have released since those albums.

  87. N.... B....

    We do it by self knowledge. Sometime it seems accidental. More often by taking headfirst leaps into the maelstrom and coming out alive with a combined sense of personal attainment and divine blessing. Most often there is no choice but to land on your feet.

  88. A.... O....

    Review:

    Sound: on point
    Lyrics: pretty dope
    Chorus: Tight
    Whole album: not really that good

  89. A.... U....

    Reminds me of the Pretender from the Foo fighters. Why couldn't linkin park do a new single like this instead of doing some gay pop of today!?!? Linkin Park you should expierience some Post-Grunge like Incubus!! how dare you switch to pop like one direction!!

  90. m.... ....

    Reminds me of Jimmy Eat World.

  91. P.... J....

    People actually think these lyrics are shallow...?

  92. C.... S....

    prolly the worst song I've ever heard

  93. P.... P....

    good stuff

  94. R.... D....

    so what if this was their first album...and science eighth.. many "fans" would consider science as a piece of crap compared to this... so please stop with science comparison, its getting old...

    R.... D....

    Republika Dugave S.C.I.E.N.C.E. is my favorite Incubus album just cuz I love alt metal and nu metal. But calling the rest of Incubus's discography bad is dumb. Still wish Brandon had kept the dreads tho but that's just me lol.

  95. R.... I....

    Great song - from a great album "8" love it. 😛
