Around the World Lyrics
[Intro]
Ooooooooooh!!!
[Verse 1]
All around the world, we could make time
Rompin' and a-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 from California
Alabama baby said "Hallelujah"
Good God, girl, I wish I knew ya
[Chorus]
I know, I know for sure
That life is beautiful around the world
I know, I know it's you
You say "Hello" and then I say "I do"
[Verse 2]
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, Mark 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
[Chorus]
I know, I know for sure
That life is beautiful around the world
I know, I know it's you
You say "Hello" and then I say "I do"
[Verse 3]
Where you want to go? Who you want to be?
What you want to do? Just come with me
Oh, I saw God and I saw the fountains
You and me, girl, sittin' in the Swiss mountains
Me, oh my, oh, me and Guy O
Freer than a bird 'cause we're rocking Ohio
Around the world, I feel dutiful
Take a wife 'cause life is beautiful
[Outro]
I know, I know for sure
Ding, dang, dong, dong, deng, deng, dong, dong, ding, dang
I know, I know it's you
Ding, dang, dong, dong, deng, deng, dong, dong, ding, dang
Mother Russia, do not suffer, I know you're bold enough
I've been around the world and I have seen your love
I know, I know it's you
You say "Hello" and then I say "I do"
Parallel Universe Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Deep inside of a parallel universe
It's getting harder and harder to tell what came first, um
Underwater where thoughts can breathe easily
Far away you were made in a sea, just like me
[Chorus]
Christ, I'm a sidewinder, I'm a California King
I swear it's everywhere, oh, it's everything
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Instrumental Outro]
Scar Tissue Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
With the birds, I'll share this lonely viewing
With the birds, I'll share this lonely viewing
[Verse 2]
Ah, push me up against the wall
Young Kentucky girl in a push-up bra
Ah, fallin' all over myself
To lick your heart and taste your health, 'cause
[Chorus]
With the birds (Share this lone—), I'll share this lonely viewing
With the birds (Share this lone—), I'll share this lonely viewing
With the birds (Share this lone—), I'll share this lonely viewing
[Verse 3]
Blood loss in a bathroom stall
A southern girl with a scarlet drawl
I wave good-bye to Ma and Pa
'Cause with the birds I'll share
[Chorus]
With the birds (Share this lonely), I'll share this lonely viewing
With the birds (Share this lonely), I'll share this lonely viewing
[Verse 4]
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
[Chorus]
(I will share this lonely)
With the birds, I'll share this lonely viewing
(I will share this lonely)
With the birds, I'll share this lonely viewing
(I will share this lonely)
With the birds, I'll share this lonely viewing
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
(I will share this lonely)
With the birds, I'll share this lonely viewing
(I will share this lonely)
With the birds, I'll share this lonely viewing
(I will share this lonely)
With the birds, I'll share this lonely viewing
[Guitar Solo]
Otherside Lyrics
[Chorus]
How long, how long will I slide?
Well, separate my side
I don't, I don't believe it's bad
Slittin' my throat, it's all I ever
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
Well, 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
[Pre-Chorus]
Take it on the otherside
Take it on, take it on
[Chorus]
How long, how long will I slide?
A-separate my side
I don't, I don't believe it's bad
A-slittin' my throat, it's all I ever
[Verse 3]
Pour my life into a paper cup
The ashtray's full and I'm spillin' my guts
She want to know am I still a slut?
I gotta take it on the otherside
[Verse 4]
A scarlet starlet and she's in my bed
A candidate for the soul mate bled
Mmm, pull the trigger and I pull the thread
I gotta take it on the otherside
[Pre-Chorus]
Take it on the otherside
Take it on, take it on
[Chorus]
How long, how long will I slide?
Separate my side
I don't, I don't believe it's bad
A-slittin' my throat, it's all I ever
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge]
Turn me on, take me for a hard ride
Burn me out, leave me on the otherside
I yell and tell it that it's not my friend
I tear it down, I tear it down, and then it's born again
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
How long, how long will I slide?
Separate my side
I don't, I don't believe it's bad
A-slittin' my throat, it's all I ever had
[Outro]
(How long?)
I don't, I don't believe it’s sad
A-slittin' my throat, is all I ever

Californication Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Psychic spies from China try to steal your mind's elation
And little girls from Sweden dream of silver-screen quotation
And if you want these kind of dreams, it's Californication
[Verse 2]
It's the edge of the world and all of Western civilization
The sun may rise in the East, at least it settled in a final location
It's understood that Hollywood sells Californication
[Pre-Chorus]
Pay your surgeon very well to break the spell of aging
Celebrity skin: is this your chin, or is that war you're waging?
Firstborn unicorn
Hardcore soft porn
[Chorus]
Dream of Californication
Dream of Californication
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
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 Alderaan's not far away, it's Californication
[Pre-Chorus]
Born and raised by those who praise control of population
Well, everybody's been there, and I don't mean on vacation
Firstborn unicorn
Hardcore soft porn
[Chorus]
Dream of Californication
Dream of Californication
Dream of Californication
Dream of Californication
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 5]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
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
Firstborn unicorn
Hardcore soft porn
[Chorus]
Dream of Californication
Dream of Californication
Dream of Californication
Dream of Californication
Easily Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Easily, let's get carried away
Easily, let's get married today
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Shao Lin shouted a rose from his throat
Everything must go
A licking stick is thicker when you break it to show
Everything must go
[Chorus 1]
The story of a woman on the morning of a war
Remind me, if you will, exactly what we're fighting for
Calling and calling for something in the air
Calling and calling, I know you must be there
[Verse 2]
Easily, let's get caught in a wave
Easily, we won't get caught in a cage
[Pre-Chorus 2]
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
[Chorus 2]
I can't tell you who to idolize
You think it's almost over but it's only on the rise
Calling and calling for something in the air
Calling and 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
[Pre-Chorus 2]
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
[Chorus 3]
The story of a woman on the morning of a war
Remind me, if you will, exactly what we're fighting for
Calling and calling for something in the air
Calling and calling, I know you must be there
I don't want to 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 you're coming back
[Instrumental Outro]
