[Intro]
Fuck all that bullshit!

[Verse 1]
You watch me play
I look away
Your light's too bright
You found the light

[Chorus]
Take off in space
You and I
Take off in space
You and I

[Verse 2]
You're gonna die
Wanna meet me, why?
I wish I had your strength
Inside your soul escapes

[Chorus]
Take off in space
You and I
Take off in space
You and I

[Verse 3]
Fly into me!
Tell me something for all!
The kids that die listening to me!
You are alive!

[Chorus]
Time off in space
You and I stay
Take off in space
You and I
Take off in space
You and I

Bakersfield friends James “Munky” Shaffer, Reginald “Fieldy” Arvizu and David Silveria formed the funk-rock band LAPD in 1989 and moved to Los Angeles with another friend Brian “Head” Welch as their roadie. Later, with Welch as second guitarist, the band named themselves Creep and recorded a demo with pal Ross Robinson.

However, when Shaffer and Welch visited family in Bakersfield, they met Jonathan Davis who added a darker, goth-tinged edge to the band’s heavy groove. Robinson

The band wasn’t dark yet; it had, like, killer grooves and good riffs, but there was some happy edge to it. And when (Davis) walked into the room, it went dark and goth. Basically, during the first song, to audition in the rehearsal room, he started freaking the hell out [laughs]. You couldn’t hear his voice, but you felt chills all over your body, and it was instantly like, “Oh my God, yeah – he’s the one.”
