The Bourne Identity Song by Moby - Extreme Ways Lyrics and Video
You gotta admit: the man does know some extreme ways to kill people.
Extreme Ways is one of the first songs I really noticed at the end of a film that I felt a need to go home and look up -- it was that good, and that arresting. It haunted me the whole drive home after viewing The Bourne Identity and I became a big fan of Moby after that.
On my research, I was pleased to note a Moby song was also a major component of one of my all-time favorite episodes of The X-Files: All Things. Again with the lyrical haunting sound. I was Moby-hooked. (The Wikipedia states: The episode makes heavy use of The Sky Is Broken, a song from Moby's 1999 album Play, as well as a gong. The episode has been analyzed for its themes of pragmatism and feminist philosophy.)
Here's the video of the end credit segment of *The Bourne *Identity, followed below by Moby's lyrics to Extreme Ways. It's got a really good beat, too. Enjoy!
Lyrics for Extreme Ways
(Song by Moby)
Extreme ways are back again Extreme places I didn't know I broke everything new again Everything that I'd owned I threw it out the windows, came along Extreme ways I know move apart
The colors of my sea Perfect color me
Extreme ways that help me That help me out late at night Extreme places I had gone But never seen any light Dirty basements, dirty noise Dirty places coming through Extreme worlds alone Did you ever like it then
I would stand in line for this There's always room in life for this
Oh baby, oh baby Then it fell apart, it fell apart Oh baby, oh baby Then it fell apart, it fell apart
Extreme songs that told me They helped me down every night I didn't have much to say I didn't get above the light I closed my eyes and closed myself And closed my world and never opened Up to anything That could get me along
I had to close down everything I had to close down my mind Too many things to cover me Too much can make me blind I've seen so much in so many places So many heartaches, so many faces So many dirty things You couldn't even believe
I would stand in line for this It's always good in life for this
Oh baby, oh baby Then it fell apart, it fell apart All day, all day Then it fell apart, it fell apart (Falling apart) It's a Monday morning, it's everywhere Oh no I can't
All day, all day Then it fell apart, it fell apart All day, all day Then it fell apart, it fell apart All day, all day Then it fell apart, it fell apart All day, all day Like it always does, always does...
