Martini Lyrics by Incubus

Monuments and Melodies (Disc 2)

2009

[Verse 1]
She was a new mini-beauty queen
Money, drugs, magazines
That didn't do nothing
Nah, didn't do nothing

They gave her diamonds, shiny boys
City speak, every joy
That didn't do nothing
No, nothing for her

You can lead a horse to water
But you can't expect it to drink
Now ain't that something
Now ain't that something

Yeah, when the world is at your gate
That won't satiate
Why are you crying?
If you want for nothing at all?

[Chorus]
Don't be a fly in my martini, baby, come on down
That roof is high and I'm not climbing tonight
Come down and I'll give you something, hey, to cry about

[Verse 2]
Fast cars, put you in bars
Trial and it drown in the scars
It won't do nothing
It won't do nothing

Even the best frame won't change
Your wet paint and you choose
The Mona Lisa
The Mona Lisa

You've got to dry your eyes, baby
I know it's your party and you
Cry if you want to
Cry if you want to

Yeah, when the world is at your gate
And that don't fill your plate
Why are you crying?
If you want for nothing at all?

[Chorus]
Don't be a fly in my martini, baby, come on down
That roof is high and I'm not climbing tonight
Come down and I'll give you something, hey, to cry about
A fly in my martini, baby, come on down
That roof is high and I'm not climbing tonight
Come down and I'll give you something, hey, to cry about

[Chorus]
Don't be a fly in my martini, baby, come on down
That roof is high and I'm not climbing tonight
Come down and I'll give you something, hey, to cry about
A fly in my martini, baby, come on down
That roof is high and I'm not climbing tonight
Come down and I'll give you something, hey, to cry about
