Monarchy of Roses Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The crimson tide is flowing through your fingers as you sleep
The promise of a clean regime are promises we keep
Do you like it rough I ask, and are you up to task?
The calicos of Pettibon where cultures come to clash
[Chorus 1]
Several of my best friends wear
The colors of the crown
And Mary wants to build it up
And Sherry wants to tear it all back down, girl
The savior of your light
The monarchy of roses
The monarchy of roses tonight
[Verse 2]
The cross between my former queen, her legendary stare
The holy tears of Ireland, a lovely cross to bear
[Chorus 2]
Several of my best friends know
The secrets of this town
Mary wants to raise it up
And Sherry wants to spin it all around, girl
The sailors of the night
The monarchy of roses
The monarchy of roses tonight
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus 1]
Several of my best friends wear
The colors of the crown
And Mary wants to fill it up
And Sherry wants to tear it all back down, girl
The saviour of your light
The monarchy of roses
The monarchy of roses
[Outro]
Hey, yeah
We all want the rose you know
I said hey, yeah
Show us love before you go
Say I will, then I say I want to
The story knows that I will never taunt you
Hey, yeah
We all want the rose you know
I said hey, yeah
Show us love before you go
Say I will, then I say I want to
The story knows that I will always haunt you
Factory of Faith Lyrics
[Verse 1]
All my life I was
Swinging for the fence
I was looking for the triple
Never playing good defense
Gunnin' for the glitter
Every hot and heavy hitter
She was never really there
So I couldn't really get her
I said factually I, I'm just a piece of it
Factually I, the very least of it
[Verse 2]
Piece of work
I was really quite a jerk
Keeping score is such a bore,
A busy mind could go berserk
Oh, feast on this
I was fishing for a hook
So I took a little trip
And I opened up the book
[Pre-Chorus]
I said factually I, I'm just a piece of it
Factually I, the very least of it
Factually I, it's just a medicine
Make you wanna cry, why don't they let us in?
[Chorus]
Be my wife
I think you're right that we should mate
Tell your friends I've got a factory of faith
Late last night I had a dream that it was great
Tell your friends I've got a factory of faith
I've got a factory of
[Verse 3]
Crack your whip
She's confessing from the hip
She was good at getting there
But not as much for round-trip
Oh all this time
I was searching for a dream
I was slippin' in and out
Of every other sex machine
[Pre-Chorus]
I said factually I, I'm just a piece of it
Factually I, the very least of it
Factually I, it's just a medicine
Makes you wanna cry, why don't they let us in?
[Chorus]
Be my wife
I think you're right that we should mate
Tell your friends I've got a factory of faith
Late last night I had a dream that it was great
Tell your friends I've got a factory of faith
I've got a factory of
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
Be my wife
I think you're right that we should mate
Tell your friends I've got a factory of faith
Late last night I had a dream that it was great
Tell your friends I've got a factory of faith
I've got a factory of
[Outro]
Faith
And love
Lo-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Brendan’s Death Song Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Live and die before I get it done, will you decide?
Take my words and turn them into signs that will survive
Because a long time ago, I knew not to deprive
It's safe out there and now you're everywhere, just like the sky
And you are love, you are the love supreme, you are the rise
And when you hear this, you’ll know it’s your jam, it’s your goodbye
[Chorus]
Like I said you know I'm almost dead
You know I'm almost gone
And when the drummer drums
He's going to play my song
To carry me along
Like I said you know I'm almost dead
You know I'm almost gone
And when the boatman comes to ferry me away
To where we all belong
[Verse 2]
We all crossed when we were feeling lost it's just the time
Kateri cried the day her lover died she recognized
Because he gave her a life of real love it's no surprise
The nights are long but the years are short when you're alive
Way back when will never be again, it was a time
It's going to catch you so glad I met you to walk the line
[Chorus]
Like I said you know I'm almost dead
You know I'm almost gone
And when the drummer drums
He's going to play my song
To carry me along
Like I said you know I'm almost dead
You know I'm almost gone
And when the boatman comes to ferry me away
To where we all belong
[Chorus]
Like I said you know I'm almost dead
You know I'm almost gone
And when the drummer drums
He's going to play my song
To carry me along
Like I said you know I'm almost dead
You know I'm almost gone
And when the boatman comes to ferry me away
To where we all belong
[Bridge]
Let me live so when it's time to die even the reaper cries
Let me die so when it's time to leave another sun will rise
I said yeah!
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
I said yeah!
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
[Chorus]
Like I said you know I'm almost dead
You know I'm almost gone
And when the drummer drums
He's going to play my song
To carry me along
Like I said you know I'm almost dead
You know I'm almost gone
And when the boatman comes to ferry me away
To where we all belong
[Outro]
Like I said you know I'm almost dead
You know I'm almost gone
Like I said you know I'm almost dead
You know I'm almost gone
Like I said you know I'm almost dead
You know I'm almost gone
Ethiopia Lyrics
[Verse 1]
E I O I E I A
When you give your love away
You get a feeling for
E I O I E I A
Live to love another day
Even when you feel unsure
[Verse 2]
More and more I want to raise
Raise my bar and raise your stay
E I O I E I A
When I lie there wide awake
For my son I'll make
[Chorus]
Tell my boy I love him so
Tell him so he knows
Lost in Ethiopia
Walk out in that road
[Verse 3]
E I O I E I A
Something good going to come your way
Just look out your door
E I O I E I A
Tell 'em what you wanna say
No matter what you might incur
[Chorus]
Tell my boy I love him so
Tell him so he knows
Lost in Ethiopia
Walk out in that road
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 4]
E I O I E I A
Steal my heart to give away
Make me want to say
E I O I E I A
You and I are sewn the same
More and more and more each day
[Chorus]
Tell my boy I love him so
Tell him so he knows
Lost in Ethiopia
Walk out in that road
Annie Wants a Baby Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Lucy Rebar
She's a friend of mine
Later she'll go
Back and redefine the line
It's getting longer all the time
Oh yeah
[Verse 2]
Drinking sunshine
She likes the taste of it
She had a goldmine
But then she wasted it away
You should have seen her yesterday
Oh yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
Sinned along the way
Nothing stops the ache
[Chorus 1]
Sugar daddy
Loves her madly
Cosma Sheiva
Got off, made you a believer
I don't need to
Tender, why do I believe you?
Annie wants a baby now
Annie wants a baby any way she can
[Verse 3]
Missing pieces
She's got a lot of them
Time decreases
I wish I thought of them before
Before it's time to close the store
Oh yeah
[Verse 4]
Distillation
A lonely sycophant
Some liberation
The only seed we ever plant
I want to help you but I can't
No, no
[Pre-Chorus]
Sinned along the way
Nothing stops the ache
[Chorus 2]
Sugar daddy
Loves her madly
Love her, leave her
Got off, made you a believer
Neon soldier
Left her now you've gotten older
Annie wants a baby now
Annie wants a baby any way she can
[Outro]
It's getting longer all the time
It's time to re-design the sign
Oh yeah
Sinned along the way
Look Around Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Stiff club, its my nature
Custom love is the nomenclature
Turn down mass confusion
Hit the road 'cause we just keep cruisin'
Double my fun, double my vision
Long hard look at my last decision
Hustle here, hustle there
Hustle me bitch and you best beware
[Refrain]
It's emotional and I told you so
But you had to know, so I told you
[Verse 2]
Soft walk to horizon
One big crash that no one dies in
This is for the folks in Fayetteville
It'll come true if you say it will
[Chorus]
Look around, look around, look around
All around, all around, all around
Look around, look around, look around
All around, all around, all around
[Refrain]
It's emotional and I told you so
But you had to know so I told you
[Verse 3]
Please don't look right through me
Hurts my heart when you do that to me
Street life out my window
City made breeze gonna stroke my skindow
Just a lot of words on an old brick wall
Rob a lot of banks, got a pedigree scrawl
Put my peg into your square
Run around like we just don't care
[Chorus]
Look around, look around, look around
All around, all around, all around
Look around, look around, look around
All around, oh yeah!
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge]
Move it ah got to get ya, want to get you
Move it ah got to get ya, going to get you
Move it ah got to get ya, want to get you
Move it ah got to get ya, going to get you
Move it ah got to get ya, want to get you
Move it ah got to get ya, going to get you
Move it ah got to get ya, want to get you
Move it ah got to get ya, going to get you
[Chorus]
Look around, look around, look around
All around, all around, all around
Look around, look around, look around
All around, oh yeah!
[Outro: Josh Klinghoffer]
When I'm feeling small and I'm hitting a wall
Wanna feel it all around
When I'm feeling small and I'm hitting a wall
Wanna feel it all around
The Adventures of Rain Dance Maggie Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Lipstick junkie, debunk the all in one she
Came back wearing a smile
Looking like someone drugged me that wanted to unplug me
No one in here is on trial, it's just a turn-around
[Interlude]
And we go, oh
Well and we go, oh, oh, oh, oh
[Verse 2]
Tic-toc, I want to rock you like the '80s
Cock-blocking isn’t allowed
Tugboat Shiela is into memorabilia
Who said three is a crowd? We better get it on the go
[Chorus 1]
Hey, now
We’ve got to make it rain somehow
She told me to and showed me what to do
Our Maggie makes it in a cloud
[Chorus 2]
I said hey, now
We’ve got to make it rain somehow
She told me to and showed me what to do
She knows how to make it loud
[Verse 3]
Rain dance Maggie advances to the final
Who knew that she had the goods?
Little did I know her body was warm delicious vinyl
To your neck of the woods, I want to lick a little bit
[Chorus 1]
Hey, now
We’ve got to make it rain somehow
She told me to and showed me what to do
Our Maggie makes it in a cloud
[Bridge]
You got the wrong girl
But not for long, girl
It's in the song, girl
'Cause I’ll be gone, girl
[Chorus 1]
Hey, now
We’ve got to make it rain somehow
She told me to and showed me what to do
Our Maggie makes it in a cloud
[Chorus 3]
I said hey, now
I want to rock this rowdy crowd
She told me to and showed me what to do
She knows how to make it loud
[Outro]
But not for long, girl
It's in the song, girl
'Cause I’ll be gone, bye, bye, bye, yeah
Bye bye, bye, girl
Bye bye, girl
Bye bye, girl
Bye bye
Did I Let You Know Lyrics
[Intro]
(Come on, come on)
[Verse 1]
I'm coming for you 'cause
'Cause I adore you and
I'd like to get inside your mass production
This indecision has
Has got me cringing, well
I can't resist the smell of your seduction
[Pre-Chorus]
Did I let you know?
Would you like to go?
Unwrap the package without much persuasion
Did I let you know?
Would you like to go?
I want to dance to every days occasion
[Chorus]
This I know, yeah this I know
(Take me home, well take me home)
This I know we're not alone
(Take me home, take me home)

When we envision
Lack of division and
The planet does another revolution
The day I blew on you
You said I grew on you
Turns out that we are all the one solution, go!
[Trumpet Solo]
[Verse 3]
I'm coming at you, well
Year of the cat too and
I like the sound of your articulations
Want to arouse her and
Maybe espouse her, well
She showed me love without the stipulations
[Chorus]
This I know, yeah this I know
(Take me home, well take me home)
This I know we're not alone
(Take me home, take me home)
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 4]
I want to lean on you
Get Jan and Dean on you
It's time to sway a little mass perception
I like your cheeky, well
So Mozambiquey and
I think the world could use a clear connection
[Chorus]
This I know, yeah this I know
(Take me home, well take me home)
This I know we're not alone
(Take me home, take me home)
[Chorus]
This I know, yeah this I know
(Take me home, well take me home)
This I know we're not alone
(Take me home, take me home)
[Outro]
Did I let you know?
Would you like to go?
Did I let you know?
Would you like to go?
Did I let you know?
Would you like to go?
Goodbye Hooray Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Junior pimp's at old café
He's got to chase those girls around
Westbound, drunk with lots to say
But he never makes a sound
Hustlers get what they deserve
But it's always half the gate
Good things come to those who wait
Like an expiration date
[Chorus]
See you around, I'll see you around
I'll play all night, hey don't get uptight
I'll lead all your mind games astray
Well I'll see you around, I'll see you around
I'll play all night, hey don't get uptight
See you, so long, goodbye, hooray
[Verse 2]
Curb your tongue, oh scallywag
Because you've got no flag to wave
Save your breath for the black and white
Every dog will have his day
[Chorus]
See you around, I'll see you around
I'll play all night, hey don't get uptight
I'll lead all your mind games astray
Well I'll see you around, I'll see you around
I'll play all night, hey don't get uptight
See you, so long, goodbye, hooray
[Post-Chorus]
Well I'll see you around, I'll see you around
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
See you around, I'll see you around
I'll play all night, hey don't get uptight
I'll lead all your mind games astray
Well I'll see you around, I'll see you around
I'll play all night, hey don't get uptight
See you, so long, goodbye, hooray
[Outro]
Well I'll see you around, I'll see you around
I'll see you around, I'll see you around
I'll see you around
Goodbye and hooray
Well I'll see you around, I'll see you around
Oh nah, nah, nah, no
Happiness Loves Company Lyrics
[Verse 1: Anthony Kiedis]
Start marchin'
'Cause you think you shot to number one
Counting' days and
Skippin' your stones into the sun
Over age and under thumb, oh
Does it weigh a ton?
I'll be yours tonight
Livin' the dream of a meteorite
[Chorus 1: Anthony Kiedis, Josh Klinghoffer]
Start jumpin' 'cause
We've got somethin' to say, yeah
Young lovers keep it pumpin'
In the streets of L.A., yeah
[Verse 2: Anthony Kiedis, Flea]
Short strokin' doesn't fly (Bop-oh-bop-ee-bop-oh)
Better to go for broke (Bop, bop-oh-bop-ee-bop-baa-boh)
Whatchu smokin'? Mary Jane? (Bop-oh-bop-ee-bop-oh)
And does it make you choke? (Bop, bop-oh-bop-aah)
Jumpin' the fence, ridin' the rails, oh (Bop-oh-bop-ee-bop-oh)
Can you take a joke? (Bop, bop-oh-bop-ee-bop-baa-boh)
I'll be yours today (Bop-oh-bop-ee-bop-oh)
Livin' the dream with a capital K (Bop, bop-oh-bop-aah)

Start jumpin' 'cause
We've got somethin' to say, yeah
Young lovers keep it pumpin'
In the streets of L.A., yeah
[Bridge: Anthony Kiedis, Josh Klinghoffer]
Tell me now, I'll tell you how
Just show me where to send
[Post-Chorus: Anthony Kiedis, Josh Klinghoffer]
Make time for love and your happiness
The mothers of invention are the best
We all know and struggle with some loneliness
A tender mess for everyone, I guess
I guess
[Verse 3: Anthony Kiedis]
Half-blinded
I'm reminded how to find the stairs
Nickel and dimin'
Think it's time to play some musical chairs
Dirty laundry, what a quandary
Ask her if she cares
I'll be yours and more
Better than ever, like never before
[Chorus 3: Anthony Kiedis, Josh Klinghoffer]
Start jumpin' 'cause
We've got somethin' to say, yeah
Young lovers keep it pumpin'
In the streets of L…
Make time for love and your happiness
The mothers of invention are the best
We all know and struggle with some loneliness
A tender mess for everyone, I guess
I guess
[Verse 4: Anthony Kiedis, Flea]
Sweet talkin' (Bop-oh-bop-ee-bop-oh)
As I'm walkin' through your part of town (Bop, bop-oh-bop-ee-bop-baa-boh)
Never again (Bop-oh-bop-ee-bop-oh)
Will Johnny C. a Love Supreme be found (Bop, bop-oh-bop-aah)
Is it ever meant to be? (Bop-oh-bop-ee-bop-oh)
And is it so profound? (Bop, bop-oh-bop-ee-bop-baa-boh)
Is it you and me? (Bop-oh-bop-ee-bop-oh)
A billion to one make history (Bop, bop-oh-bop-aah)
[Outro: Anthony Kiedis, Flea]
A history (Bop-oh-bop-ee-bop-oh)
(Bop, bop-oh-bop-ee-bop-baa-boh)
Said, "Yeah." (Bop-oh-bop-ee-bop-oh)
Oh yeah (Bop, bop-oh-bop-aah)
Said, "Yeah." (Bop-oh-bop-ee-bop-oh)
Oh yeah. (Bop, bop-oh-bop-ee-bop-baa-boh)
I said, "A-yeah." (Bop-oh-bop-ee-bop-oh)
Oh yeah (Bop, bop-oh-bop-aah)
Police Station Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I saw you at the police station
And it breaks my heart to say
Your eyes had wandered off
To something distant, cold and grey
I guess you didn't see it coming
Someone's gotten used to slumming
Dreaming of the golden years
I see you had to change careers
Far away
But we both know its somewhere
[Verse 2]
I saw you on the back page
Of some free press yesterday
The driftwood in your eyes
Said nothing short of love for pay
I know you from another picture
Of someone with the most conviction
We used to read the funny papers
Fool around and pull some capers
Not today
Send a message to her
A message that I'm coming
Coming to pursue her
[Chorus 1]
Down home country
I rest my face on your bed
I've got you ten times over
I'll chase you down 'til you're dead
[Verse 3]
I saw you on a TV station
And it made me want to pray
An empty shell of loveliness
Is now dusted with decay
What happened to the funny paper?
Smiling was your money maker
Someone ought to situate her
Find a way to educate her
All the way
Time to come and find you
You can't hide from me girl
So never mind what I do
[Chorus 2]
Down home country
I rest my face on your bed
I met my soulmate country
And I left it all for your head
[Verse 4]
I saw you in the church yard
And there was no time to exchange
You were getting married
And it felt so very strange
I guess I didn't see it coming
Now I guess it's me who's bumming
Dreaming of the golden years
You and I were mixing tears
Not today
Not for me but someone
I never could get used to
So now I will refuse to
[Outro]
Down home country
I rest my face on your bed
I met my soulmate country
And I left it all for your head
I've got my best foot forward
And I'll chase you down 'til you're dead
Even You Brutus? Lyrics
[Verse 1]
God is good and fate is great
When it feels so strong it's hard to wait
You never know how it might unfold
Hearts to break and bodies to hold
Time will tell, but it never gets old
Like I told you I'm in for the long, long
[Verse 2]
Had to have been one of those things
That took place in outer space
A match made in heaven
Not a scratch on her face
Angels must have smoked some dust
Singing songs, about "In God We Trust"
Some things slide, but this is a must
Like I told you there's a time for finding out
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Ah, people try to tell me what not to do
"You shouldn't make it with a younger girl"
And too many chances for the foot to drop
I tried to tell them that I found a pearl
Well, like I told you be careful what you're asking for
[Chorus]
Hey, sister Brutus
Got a mess of a better half, ow!
Hey, sister Judas
Even you never had my back
[Verse 3]
She was the cutest thing that I ever did see
A drink in her hand and I don't mean tea
She was with a dude, but I just didn't care
I had to find out, these moments are rare
And Stevie says, "All is fair."
Like I told you there is something for everyone
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Well I guess I never told you some things
That I really, really wanted to say
Did I do everything I could do
Or did the mice just need to play?
Like I told you there's more than meets the eye
[Chorus]
Hey, sister Brutus
Got a mess of a better half, ow!
Hey, sister Judas
Even you never had my back
[Pre-Chorus 3]
I'm not trying to point fingers at you
And I'm not trying to lay any blame
But when it comes to the punishment
Girl, you know how to bring the pain
Like I told you, I'd do it all again
[Chorus]
Hey, sister Brutus
Got a mess of a better half, ow!
Hey, sister Judas
Even you never had my back
[Outro]
Come on
Hey, sister Brutus
There's a fury to the woman's wrath
Hey, sister Judas
Even you never had my back
Meet Me at the Corner Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Please don't ask me who
Who you think I am
I could live without that
I'm just a modest man
[Chorus]
Meet me at the corner and, oh
Tell me what to do
'Cause I'm messed up on you
And had I known all that I do now
I'm guessing we're through now
Receding into the forest
I will lay around and wait
And I'll wait for you
[Verse 2]
Please don't ask me where
Where you think I've been
I've been a lot of places
But this could be my win
[Chorus]
Meet me at the corner where I'll
Tell me what to do
'Cause I'm messed up on you
And had I known all that I do now
I'm guessing we're through now
Receding into the forest
I will lay around and wait
And I'll wait for you
[Bridge: Josh Klinghoffer]
I feel so bad, I thought you'd want to know
I feel so bad, I thought you'd want to know
Something I wanna show
I thought you ought to know
[Verse 3]
Please don't say you want
To keep in touch out there
To see you on the corner
That I just can't bear
[Chorus]
Meet me at the corner and, oh
Tell me what to do
'Cause I messed up on you
And had I known all that I do now
I'm guessing we're through now
Receding into the forest
I will lay around and wait
[Outro]
Hey, and I turn
I turn my head when I thought
I saw a sign from the gods
A sign from the gods
That you weren't meant to be mine
And it's fine
Taking it all for a ride
'Til the day when it's gone
Mystified by where it all went wrong
When it's gone
I live and I learn
And I lose and I win
But it's better than ever whenever I'm in
I thank you girl for everywhere that we’ve been

Tell your mom and dad, it's all okay
The holiness of play is here to stay
[Bridge]
I've got another one
I've got another one
I've got another one
I've got another one
Woah
I've got a better one
[Verse 3]
You got yours and I've got mine
He got his and she got shine
We got all but she got high
Some got hot and they got by
[Chorus 1]
Dance, dance, dance, dance
All night long, yes all night long
Dance, dance, dance, dance
We got strong, yes we got strong
Let's say hello, its safe to go
[Chorus 2]
Dance, dance, dance, dance
All night long, yes all night long
Dance, dance, dance, dance
We got strong, yes we got strong
The light is right, let's play tonight
[Outro]
Let's make the rise
The sun, the prize
Let's play
Let's play
