Red Hot Chili Peppers

Around The World
HEY!
All around the world, we could make time
Rompin' and stompin', 'cause I'm in my prime
Born in the North and sworn to entertain ya
'Cause I'm down for the state of Pennsylvania
I try not to whine, but I must warn ya
'Bout the motherfuckin' girls of California
Alabama, baby, said alleluia
Good God, girl, I wish I knew ya
I know, I know for sure
That life is beautiful around the world
Well, I know, I know it's you
You say "hello" and then, I say "I do"
Come back, baby, 'cause I'd like to say
I've been around the world, back from Bombay
Fox hole love pie in your face
Living in and out of a big fat suitcase
Bonafide ride, step aside my Johnson
Yes I could, in the woods of Wisconsin
Wake up the cake, it's a lake, she's kissin' me
As they do when they do in Sicily
I know, I know for sure
That life is beautiful around the world
Well, I know, I know it's you
You say "hello" and then, I say "I do"
WHOA!
Where you wanna go, who you wanna be
What you wanna do, just come with me
I saw God and I saw the fountains
You and me, girl, sittin' in the Swiss mountains
Me, oh, my, oh, me and Guy, oh
Freer than a bird, 'cause we're rockin' Ohio
Around the world, I feel dutiful
Take a wife, 'cause life is beautiful
I know, I know for sure
Mingmangmongmomingmangmomongmimeng
Well, I know, I know it's you
Mingmangmongmomingmangmongmomimeng
Mother Russia, do not suffer, I know you're bold enough
I've been around the world, and I have seen your love
Well, I know, I know it's you
You say "hello" and then, I say "I do"
Parallel Universe
Deep inside of a parallel
Universe
It's getting harder and harder
To tell what came first and
Under water where thoughts
Can breathe easily
Far away, you were made
In a sea, just like me, yeah
Christ, I'm a sidewinder
I'm a California king
I swear, it's everywhere
Oh, it's everything
Staring straight up into the sky
Oh my my
A solar system that fits in your eye
Microcosm
You could die, but you're never dead
Spider web
Take a look at the stars in your head
Fields of space, kid
Christ, I'm a sidewinder
I'm a California king
I swear, it's everywhere
Oh, it's everything
Christ, I'm a sidewinder
I'm a California king
I swear, it's everywhere
Oh, it's everything
Psychic changes are born in your heart
Entertain
A nervous breakthrough that makes us the same
Bless your heart, girl
Kill the pressure, it's raining on
Salty cheeks
When you hear the beloved song
I am with you
Christ, I'm a sidewinder
I'm a California king
I swear, it's everywhere
Oh, it's everything
Christ, I'm a sidewinder
I'm a California king
I swear, it's everywhere
Oh, it's everything
HEYYYY!
Scar Tissue
Scar tissue that I wish you saw
Sarcastic mister know it all
Close your eyes and I'll kiss you 'cause
With the birds, I'll share
With the birds, I'll share
This lonely view
With the birds, I'll share
This lonely view
Push me up against the wall
Young Kentucky girl in a push-up bra
I'm fallin' all over myself
To lick your heart and taste your health 'cause
With the birds, I'll share (share this lonely)
This lonely view
With the birds, I'll share (share this lonely)
This lonely view
With the birds, I'll share (share this lonely)

Blood loss in a bathroom stall
A Southern girl with a scarlet drawl
Wave good-bye to ma and pa 'cause
With the birds, I'll share
With the birds, I'll share (share this lonely)
This lonely view
With the birds, I'll share (share this lonely)
This lonely view
Soft spoken with a broken jaw
Step outside, but not to brawl and
Autumn's sweet, we call it fall
I'll make it to the moon if I have to crawl and
With the birds, I'll share (I will share this lonely)
This lonely view
With the birds, I'll share (I will share this lonely)

Otherside
How long, how long will I slide
Separate my side, I don't
I don't believe it's bad
Slit my throat, it's all I ever
I heard your voice through a photograph
I thought it up, it brought up the past
Once you know you can never go back
I gotta take it on the otherside
Centuries are what it meant to me
A cemetery where I marry the sea
A stranger thing could never change my mind
I gotta take it on the otherside
Take it on the otherside
Take it on, take it on
How long, how long will I slide
Separate my side, I don't
I don't believe it's bad
Slit my throat, it's all I ever
Pour my life into a paper cup
The ashtray's full and I'm spillin' my guts
She wanna know, am I still a slut
I gotta take it on the otherside
A scarlet starlet and she's in my bed
A candidate for the soulmate bled
Push the trigger and I pull the thread
I gotta take it on the otherside
Take it on the otherside
Take it on, take it on
How long, how long will I slide
Separate my side, I don't
I don't believe it's bad
Slit my throat, it's all I ever
Turn me on, take me for a hard ride
Burn me out, leave me on the otherside
I yell and tell it that tt's not my friend
I tear it down, I tear it down and then, it's born again
How long, how long will I slide
Separate my side, I don't
I don't believe it's bad
Slit my throat, it's all I ever had, I don't
I don't believe it's bad
Slit my throat, it's all I ever

Californication
Psychic spies from China
Try to steal your mind's elation
Little girls from Sweden
Dream of silver screen quotations
And if you want these kind of dreams
It's Californication
It's the edge of the world
And all of western civilization
The sun may rise in the East
At least, it settles in the final location
It's understood that Hollywood
Sells Californication
Pay your surgeon very well
To break the spell of aging
Celebrity skin, is this your chin?
Or is that war your waging?
First born unicorn
Hard core soft porn
Dream of Californication
Dream of Californication
Marry me, girl, be my fairy to the world
Be my very own constellation
A teenage bride with a baby inside
Getting high on information
And buy me a star on the boulevard
It's Californication
Space may be the final frontier
But it's made in a Hollywood basement
And Cobain, can you hear the spheres
Singing songs off station to station
And Alderon's not far away
It's Californication
Born and raised by those who praise
Control of population
Well, everybody's been there and
I don't mean on vacation
First born unicorn
Hard core soft porn
Dream of Californication
Dream of Californication
Dream of Californication
Dream of Californication
Destruction leads to a very rough road
But it also breeds creation
And earthquakes are to a girl's guitar
They're just another good vibration
And tidal waves couldn't save the world
From Californication
Pay your surgeon very well
To break the spell of aging
Sicker than the rest, there is no test
But this is what you're craving
First born unicorn
Hard core soft porn
Dream of Californication
Dream of Californication
Dream of Californication
Dream of Californication
Easily
Easily, let's get carried away
Easily, let's get married today
Shao Lin shouted a rose from his throat
Everything must go
A lickin' stick is thicker when you break it to show
Everything must go
The story of a woman on the morning of a war
Remind me, if you will, exactly what we're fighting for
Calling, calling for something in the air
Calling, calling, I know you must be there
Easily, let's get caught in a wave
Easily, we won't get caught in a cage
Shao Lin shakin' for the sake of his soul
Everything must go
Lookin' mighty tired of all the things that you own
Everything must go
I can't tell you who to idolize
You think it's almost over, but it's only on the rise
Calling, calling for something in the air
Calling, calling, I know you must be there
The story of a woman on the morning of a war
Remind me, if you will, exactly what we're fighting for
Throw me to the wolves, because there's order in the pack
Throw me to the sky, because I know I'm coming back
Shao Lin, shakin' for the sake of his soul
Everything must go
Lookin' mighty tired of all the things that you own
Everything must go
The story of a woman on the morning of a war
Remind me, if you will, exactly what we're fighting for
Calling, calling for something in the air
Calling, calling, I know you must be there
I don't wanna be your little research monkey boy
The creature that I am is only going to destroy
Throw me to the wolves, because there's order in the pack
Throw me to the sky, because I know I'm coming back
Porcelain
Porcelain
Are you wasting away in your skin?
Are you missing the love of your kin?
Drifting and floating and fading away
Porcelain
Do you smell like a girl when you smile?
Can you bear not to share with your child?
Drifting and floating and fading away
Little lune
All day
Little lune
Porcelain
Do you carry the moon in your womb?
Someone said that you're fading too soon
Drifting and floating and fading away
Porcelain
Are you wasting away in your skin?
Are you missing the love of your kin?
Nodding and melting and fading away
Little lune
All day
Little lune
Little lune
All day

Emit Remmus
The California animal is a bear
Angeleno, but the devil may care
Summer time to talk and swear
Later, maybe we could share some air
I'll take you to the movies there
We could walk through Leicester Square
What could be wetter than
An English girl, American man
London in the summer time
Call me now, use the satellite
London in the summer time
Cuss me out and it'll feel alright
Hesitate, but don't refuse
The choice was yours, but you said "choose"
The look she used was green and sharp
Stabbed that boy all in his heart
Come what may the cosmos will
Take me up and down on Primrose Hill
What could be wetter than
An English girl, American man
London in the summer time
Call me now, use the satellite
London in the summer time
Cuss me out and it'll feel alright, yeah
Cuss me out and it'll feel alright
It's alright now
Call me now and use the satellite
It's alright, it's alright
Down and out and it'll sound alright
It's alright now
(????????), it's alright
The California flower is poppy child
Felony sends me all the gold in your smile
Drift away from anyone you can
Nothing ever goes according to plan
Though I know that every river bends
Time to say hello to snow on the Thames
What could be wetter than
An English girl, American man
London in the summer time
Call me now, use the satellite
London in the summer time
Cuss me out and it'll feel alright
Hey hey
Hey hey hey
Oh oh
I Like Dirt
Some come up and some come young
Live to love and give good tongue
Sit down, get down in the sun
Rocket to the woman is on the one
Well, I like dirt
Well, I like dirt
Well, I like dirt
The earth is made of dirt and wood
And I'd be water if I could
Live in a dream
In your stream
Live in a dream
Some come up and some come young
Live to love and give good tongue
Sit down, get down in the sun
Rocket to the woman is on the one
I like dirt
I like dirt
I like dirt
I like dirt
Some come slow and overload
Must roll over when you're told
Let's unzip and let's unfold
A letter to the pet, better get it to go
Well, I like dirt
Well, I like dirt
Well, I like dirt
Space is made of everything
And I'd be fire that I bring
Live in a dream
In your spring
Live in a dream
Some come slow and overload
Must roll over when you're told
Let's unzip and let's unfold
A letter to the pet, better get it to go
I like dirt
I like dirt
I like dirt
I like dirt
Some come up and some come young
Live to love and give good tongue
Sit down, get down in the sun
Rocket to the woman is on the one
I like dirt
I like dirt
I like dirt
I like dirt
Some come up and some come young
Live to love and give good tongue
Sit down, get down in the sun
Rocket to the woman is on the one
This Velvet Glove
Close to my skin
I'm falling in
Someone who's been
Sitting by the phone
I'm left alone
In another zone
John says to live
Above Hell
My will is well
No one is waiting
For me to fail
And my will could sail, yeah
It's such a waste to be wasted in the first place
I wanna taste the taste of being face to face with common grace
To meditate on the warmest dream
And when I walk alone, I listen to our secret theme
Your solar eyes are like nothing I have ever seen
Somebody close that can see right through
I'd take a fall and you know that I'd do anything
Well, I will for you
Sailin' for the sun
'Cause there is one
Knows where I'm from
I care for you
I really do
I really do
Come closer now
So you can lie
Right by my side
Sit alone in the sun
I wrote a letter to you
Getting over myself, yeah
Your solar eyes are like nothing I have ever seen
Somebody close that can see right through
I'd take a fall and you know that I'd do anything
Well, I will for you
Your solar eyes are like nothing I have ever seen
Somebody close that was made for you
I'd take a fall and you know that I'd do anything
Well, I will for you
Close to my skin
Someone who's been
I'm a falling in
Disasters are
Just another star
Falling in my yard
John says to live
Above Hell
My will is well
Long to be with
Someone to tell
I love your smell
Savior
Dusting off your savior
Well, you were always my favorite
Always my man
All in a hand
To celebrate you is greater
Now that I can
Always my man
Now, you see what I came for
No one here is to blame for
Misunderstand
All in a hand
Just like you, 'cause you made me
All that I am
All in a hand
A butterfly that flaps its wings, affecting almost everything
The more I hear the orchestra, the more I have something to
bring
And now, I see you in a beautiful and different light
He's just a man and any damage done will be all right
Call out my name (call out my name, call and I came)
Call and I came (call out my name, call and I came)
Dusting off your savior
Forgiving any behavior
He's just a man
All in a hand
Your hero's destined to waver
Anyone can
Always my man
I would never betray you
Look at me, who could raise you
Face in the sand
Safe in your hand
You were always my favorite
Always my man
All in a hand
We are the red hots and we're loving up the love me nots
The flowers in your flower pots are dancing on the table tops
And now, I see you in a beautiful and different light
He's just a man and everything he does will be alright
Call out my name (call out my name, call and I came)
Call and I came (call out my name, call and I came)
Dusting off your savior
The life that you have narrated
You were my man
Purple Stain
To finger paint is not a sin
I put my middle finger in
Your monthly blood is what I win
I'm in your house, now let me spin
Python power, straight from Monty
Celluloid love's got a John Frusciante
Spread your head and spread the blanket
She's too free and I'm the patient
Black and white, red and blue
Things that look good on you
And if I scream, don't let me go
A purple stain, I know
Knock on wood, we all stay good
'Cause we all live in Hollywood
With Dracula and Darla Hood
Unspoken words were understood
Up to my ass in alligators
Let's get it on with the alligator haters
Did what you did, did what you said
What's the point, yo, what's the spread
Black and white, red and blue
Things that look good on you
And if I scream, don't let me go
A purple stain, I know
And if I call for you to stay
Come hit the funk on your way
It's way out there, but I don't care
'Cause this is where I go
Knock on wood, we all stay good
'Cause we all live in Hollywood
With Dracula and Darla Hood
Unspoken words were understood
It's way out there, but I don't care
'Cause this is what I wanna wear
Knock on wood, we all stay good
'Cause we all live in Hollywood
To finger paint is not a sin
I put my middle finger in
Your monthly blood is what I win
I'm in your house, now let me spin
Feather light, but you can't move this
Farley is an angel and I can prove this
Purple is a stain upon my pillow
Let's sleep, weeping willow
Black and white, red and blue
Things that look good on you
And if I scream, don't let me go
A purple stain, I know
And if I call for you to stay
Come hit the funk on your way
It's way out there, but I don't care
'Cause this is where I go
Knock on wood, we all stay good
'Cause we all live in Hollywood
With Dracula and Darla Hood
Unspoken words were understood
It's way out there, but I don't care
'Cause this is what I wanna wear
Knock on wood, we all stay good
'Cause we all live in Hollywood
Right On Time
One shot, all I need
I've got rhythm when I bleed
'Til death do us part
Break my heart so I can start
Supercalifragilistic
Kiss me in the futuristic
Twisted, but I must insist
It's time to get on top of this
It's right on time
It's right on time
It's right on time (it's right on time, it's right on time,
it's right on time, it's right on time)
It's right on time (lookin' fine, you're lookin' fine, and get
on 1999)
Discard to bombard
Calling all you shooting stars
Holy cow, Bow Wow Wow
Now I'm here, I'm nowhere now
Joan of Arc reincarnated
Maybe we could be related
So much blood to circulate
And so much space to decorate
It's right on time
It's right on time
It's right on time (it's right on time, it's right on time,
it's right on time, it's right on time)
It's right on time (lookin' fine, you're lookin' fine, and get
on 1999)
It's right on time
It's right on time
It's right on time
It's right on time
Plain and simple pain
I want to, but I can't complain
Death row, let us go
It's time to blow up for the show
All the world reverberated
Coming through, we motorcaded
Vibrate when we operated
Turning up in solid stated
Oh Lord
- (????)
Road Trippin'
Road trippin' with my two favorite allies
Fully loaded, we got snacks and supplies
It's time to leave this town, it's time to steal away
Let's go get lost, anywhere in the U.S.A.
Let's go get lost, let's go get lost
Blue you sit so pretty, West of the one
Sparkles light with yellow icing
Just a mirror for the sun
Just a mirror for the sun
Just a mirror for the sun
These smiling eyes are just a mirror for
So much has come before those battles lost and won
This life is shining more, forever in the sun
Now, let us check our heads and let us check the surf
Staying high and dry's more trouble than it's worth in the sun
Just a mirror for the sun
Just a mirror for the sun
Just a mirror for the sun
These smiling eyes are just a mirror for
In Big Sur, we take some time to linger on
We three hunky dorys got our snakefinger on
Now, let us drink the stars, it's time to steal away
Let's go get lost, right here in the U.S.A.
Let's go get lost, let's go get lost
Blue you sit so pretty, West of the one
Sparkles light with yellow icing
Just a mirror for the sun
Just a mirror for the sun
Just a mirror for the sun
These smiling eyes are just a mirror for
These smiling eyes are just a mirror for
These smiling eyes are just a mirror for
Your smiling eyes are just a mirror for
