An oriental stringed instrument that Mike of Incubus, borrowed from Steve Vai to record Aqueous Transmission.

I'm being chased by seven kids high on kool-aid!

Aqueous Transmission

Incubus track that sends fans floating freely into a land of rivers, kung fu and unicorns by the use of a pipa. The band borrowed the pipa from Steve Vai to create the atmospheric song.

Lyrics: I'm floating down a river
Oars freed from their holes long ago
Lying face up on the floor of my vessel
I marvel at the stars
And feel my heart overflow
Further down the river
Further down the river
Further down the river
Further down the river
Two weeks without my lover
I'm in this boat alone
Floating down a river named emotion
Will I make it back to shore
Or drift into the unknown
Further down the river
Further down the river
Further down the river
Further down the river
I'm building an antenna
Transmissions will be sent when I am through
Maybe we'll meet again further down the river
And share what we both discovered...
Then revel in the view
Further down the river
Further down the river
Further down the river
Further down the river
