The Crystal Method is an American electronic music duo that was created in Las Vegas, Nevada by Ken Jordan and Scott Kirkland in the early 1990s. The Crystal Method's music has appeared in numerous TV shows, films, video games, and advertisements. Their best-selling album, Vegas, was certified platinum in 2007.
The Crystal Method is made up of two members, Ken Jordan and Scott Kirkland. Before The Crystal Method was formed, Ken and Scott started working on music while working at the grocery store and while Ken was a local DJ in Las Vegas as well as the college radio program director at UNLV. Ken taught Scott how to DJ, and when Ken moved to L.A. to work for a producer, Scott took over his job DJ'ing at the local club. Scott would follow Ken out to L.A., and they formed The Crystal Method in 1993.
By the early '90s, both Ken and Scott had moved from Las Vegas to Los Angeles. Ken Jordan and Scott Kirkland bought a house together, in Glendale, California, which had a small underground shelter beneath the front lawn. Originally intending to turn the shelter into a studio, it proved to be an unrealistic idea and the duo set up a studio in their house (which was located under a Los Angeles Overpass. They subsequently named their studio The Bomb Shelter.The Crystal Method (interview) (1999). Better Living Through Circuitry (Motion picture).

i know that i don't understand
where my feelings roam
i've got to look outside again
and wonder where i have gone
i looked into someone's eyes again
and it's been oh so long
i never meant it to talk again
i tried to silence you
you keep coming back again
you keep coming back for moreand then you come back
and on my mind
you tried to make me look good
you know i just don't have the time
i never ever understood]
you keep coming back again
you keep coming back for more
you keep coming back again
you keep coming back for more]
you keep coming back again
you keep coming back for more
you keep coming back again
you keep coming back for more
(you keep coming back again
you keep coming back for more)
you keep coming back again
you keep coming back for more
you keep coming back again
you keep coming back for more
