Dani California Lyrics
[Produced by Rick Rubin]
[Verse 1: Anthony Kiedis]
Gettin' born in the state of Mississippi
Poppa was a copper and her momma was a hippie
In Alabama, she would swing a hammer
Price you gotta pay when you break the panorama
[Pre-Chorus: Anthony Kiedis]
She never knew that there was anything more than poor
What in the world does your company take me for?
[Verse 2: Anthony Kiedis]
Black bandana, sweet Louisiana
Robbin' a bank in the state of Indiana
She's a runner, rebel and a stunner
On her merry way sayin', "Baby, what you gonna—?"
[Pre-Chorus: Anthony Kiedis]
Lookin' down the barrel of a hot metal .45
Just another way to survive
[Chorus: Anthony Kiedis]
California, rest in peace
Simultaneous release
California, show your teeth
She's my priestess, I'm your priest, yeah, yeah
[Verse 3: Anthony Kiedis]
She's a lover, baby and a fighter
Shoulda seen her comin' when it got a little brighter
With a name like Dani California
Day was gonna come when I was gonna mourn ya
[Pre-Chorus: Anthony Kiedis]
A little loaded, she was stealin' another breath
I love my baby to death
[Chorus: Anthony Kiedis]
California, rest in peace
Simultaneous release
California, show your teeth
She's my priestess, I'm your priest, yeah, yeah
[Bridge: John Frusciante]
Who knew the other side of you?
Who knew what others died to prove?
Too true to say goodbye to you
Too true to say, say, say
[Verse 4: Anthony Kiedis]
Push the fader, gifted animator
One for the now and eleven for the later
Never made it up to Minnesota
North Dakota man was a-gunnin' for the quota
[Pre-Chorus: Anthony Kiedis]
Down in the Badlands, she was savin' the best for last
It only hurts when I laugh
Gone too fast
[Chorus: Anthony Kiedis]
California, rest in peace
Simultaneous release
California, show your teeth
She's my priestess, I'm your priest, yeah, yeah
California, rest in peace (Do svidaniya)
Simultaneous release (California)
California, show your teeth (Do svidaniya)
She's my priestess, I'm your priest, yeah, yeah
[Guitar Solo Outro: John Frusciante]
Snow ((Hey Oh)) Lyrics
[Verse 1]
My mates have all gone married now
Off living in a kindred cloud
Not that kind
They cuddle up with kitten's bone
Puddle in their beds at home
I still can't find
[Chorus]
Tell me what you wanna see
Tell me what you want
And I'll take my time
And I'll move it forward, now
Do you want to come with me?
Do you want to come?
And I'll take my time
And I'll move it closer, now
[Verse 2]
I check my stupid phone again
No matter that it's 4:00 am
It burns my eyes
A spotlight's born to shine at night
Come what may, it always might
Burn so bright
[Chorus]
Tell me what you wanna see
Tell me what you want
And I'll take my time
And I'll move it forward, now
Do you want to come with mе?
Do you want to come?
And I'll take my time
And I'll movе it closer, now
[Post-Chorus]
Slow rodeo
Roll over, roll over
Slow rodeo
In the snow
Slow rodeo
Hold over, roll over
Slow rodeo
In the snow
[Interlude]
High waisted, she tasted like a salacious confrontation salvation
From the salivating demarcation of Columbian incarnation of the patron saint of palliation
Her milk framed and rose satin, untamed by the silk that framed
Her Manhattan trap door which became duly unbattened
She's Latin, out cattin'
[Verse 3]
Does everything that feels so nice
Come with an inverted price?
I still don't know
The ball is clearly in my court
And I am happy to report
It's moving slow
[Chorus]
Tell me what you want to see
Tell me what you want
And I'll take my time
And I'll move it forward, now
Do you want to come with me
Do you want to come
And I'll take my time
And I'll move it closer, now
[Post-Chorus]
Slow rodeo
Roll over, roll over
Slow rodeo
In the snow
Slow rodeo
Hold over, roll over
[Outro]
Of the humbling Colombian
Two socks and a tumble in her slumber skin
The summer wind, we crumble some
The rock and rumble of a tumbling bubble gum
Some other umbrella trellis forgot to tell us that the mellow tangelo is jealous
For the various and not necessarily contrary shell show, she said "hell no"
The cock bottom temple varies like autumn, lights soft the cost
The Fibonacci lost her sauce
Into the last remaining hostage boss, sweet toss
Now I lay me down to reap the sleep of your selective sedative, repetitive
An uncredited she comes, well-vetted, gracefully and studied
Blue steadiness, the wrath, the math
The not yet fractured tabernacle of the Basil Rathbone and the last disaster casting
Impassible laughter blocks my path
Blue chaff, blue chaff, blue chaff
Blue chaff, blue chaff, blue chaff
Charlie Lyrics
[Intro: Anthony Kiedis]
Huh!
[Verse 1: Anthony Kiedis]
All aboard, stitch in time
Get yours, got mine
In a minute, I'll be there
Sit tight, get square
(Tic-tic-tic-tic-tic-tic-tic, then)
You could do it at the hippodrome
(One, one, one, one, one, one more)
Slide back, trombone
(Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, then)
Anybody got a TV at home?
(One, one, one, one, one, one more)
That's right, unknown
[Pre-Chorus: Anthony Kiedis]
When I pick up on that smell
Pick it up and run like hell
Little woman, save me some
Better get up on your run
(Huh?)
[Chorus: Anthony Kiedis with John Frusciante]
So much more than
Charlie's wakin' me
To my core and
And Charlie's shakin' me
And tell my story
And Charlie's makin' me
And Charlie's makin' me smile
Oh-oh-oh, now
[Interlude: Anthony Kiedis]
Tic-tic-tic-tic-tic-tic-tic-tic, then
One, one, one, one, one, one more
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, then
One, one, one, one, one, one more
[Verse 2: Anthony Kiedis]
Everybody do the twist
Get the message on Flea's fists
Move around like a scientist
Lay down, get kissed
(Tic-tic-tic-tic-tic-tic-tic-tic)
Big picture and it never lies
(One, one, one, one, one, one more)
Big daddy will advise
(Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait)
Ever-ready in disguise
(One, one, one, one, one, one more)
Sunset, sunrise
[Pre-Chorus: Anthony Kiedis & John Frusciante]
When I pick up on that smell
Pick it up and run like hell
Little woman, save me some
Better get up on your run
(Huh!)
[Chorus: Anthony Kiedis with John Frusciante]
So much more than
Charlie's wakin' me
Into my core and
And Charlie's shakin' me
And tell my story
And Charlie's makin' me
And Charlie's makin' me smile
Wo-oh-oh, now
[Post-Chorus: Anthony Kiedis with John Frusciante]
My heart, your skin, this love I'm in
We don't arrive without a surprise
You're right, I'm wrong, be free, belong
Intimate sight has come into light
[Pre-Chorus: Anthony Kiedis & John Frusciante]
When I pick up on that smell
Pick it up and run like hell
Little woman, save me some
Better get up on your run
All I ever wanted to
Was pick it up and run with you
Slip it into a summer spell
Double up and run like hell
(Huh!)
[Chorus: Anthony Kiedis with John Frusciante]
So much more than
Charlie's wakin' me
Into my core and
And Charlie's shakin' me
And tell my story
And Charlie's makin' me
And Charlie's makin' me smile
No, oh-oh, now
[Post-Chorus: Anthony Kiedis with John Frusciante]
My heart, your skin, this love, I'm in
We don't arrive without a surprise
You're right, I'm wrong, be free, belong
Intimate sight has come into light
My heart, your skin, this love, I'm in
We don't arrive without a surprise
You're right, I'm wrong, be free, belong
Intimate sight has come into light
[Instrumental Outro]
Stadium Arcadium Lyrics
[Verse 1: Anthony Kiedis]
Bells around St. Petersburg when I saw you
I hope I get what you deserve
And this is where I find—
Smoke surrounds your perfect face and I'm falling
Pushing a broom out into space
And this where I found a way
[Chorus: Anthony Kiedis, John Frusciante]
The Stadium Arcadium
A mirror to the moon (Mirror to the moon)
Well, I'm forming and I'm warming (Warming to you)
State of the art until the clouds come crashing
Stranger things have happened both
Before and after noon (Before and after noon)
Well, I'm forming and I'm warming (Warming to you)
Pushin' myself and, no, I don't mind askin' now
[Verse 2: Anthony Kiedis with John Frusciante]
Alone inside my forest room and it's storming
I never thought I'd be in bloom
But this is where I start
Derelict days, and the stereo plays
For the all-night crowd that it cannot phase
And I'm calling
Tedious weeds that the media breeds
But the animal gets what the animal needs
And I'm sorry
[Chorus: Anthony Kiedis, John Frusciante]
The Stadium Arcadium
A mirror to the moon (Mirror to the moon)
And I'm forming and I'm warming (Warming to you)
The state of the art until the clouds come crashing
Stranger things have happened both
Before and after noon (Before and after noon)
Well, I'm forming and I'm warming (Warming to you)
I'm pushin' myself and, no, I don't mind asking now
[Guitar Solo: John Frusciante]
[Interlude: Anthony Kiedis with John Frusciante]
And this is where I find
[Verse 3: Anthony Kiedis & John Frusciante]
Rays of dust that wrap around your citizen
Kind enough to disavow
And this is where I stand
[Chorus: Anthony Kiedis, John Frusciante]
Stadium Arcadium
A mirror to the moon (Mirror to the moon)
Well, I'm forming and I'm warming (Warming to you)
The state of the art until the clouds come crashing
Stranger things have happened both
Before and after noon (Before and after noon)
And I'm forming and I'm warming (Warming to you)
I'm pushin' myself and, no, I don't mind askin'
[Outro: Anthony Kiedis, John Frusciante]
The Stadium Arcadium
A mirror to the moon (Mirror to the moon)
Well, I'm forming and I'm warming (Warming to you)
State of the art until the clouds come crashing
Stranger things have happened both
Before and after noon (Before and after noon)
Well I'm forming and I'm warming (Warming to you)
To you
Hump de Bump Lyrics
[Intro]
Gon' getchya, gon' shake ya (Woo!)
Gon' getchya, gon' shake ya
Gon' getchya, gon' shake ya
Gon' getchya, gon' shake ya
[Verse 1]
Forty detectives this week
Forty detectives strong
Takin' a stroll down Love Street
Strollin', is that so wrong?
Can I get my co-defendant?
[Refrain]
Hump de bump, doop bode
Bump de hump, doop bop
Hump de bump, doop bodu (Oh, no!)
Bump de hump, doop bode
Hump de bump, doop bop
Bump de hump, doop bodu
Bump, bump (Woo!)
[Chorus]
It must have been a hundred miles
Or any of a hundred styles
It's not about the smile you wear, but
The way we make out
When I was another loner
Nothin' but a two beach comber
Anybody seen the sky? I'm
I'm wide awake now
[Verse 2]
Workin' the beat, as we speak
Workin' the belle du monde
Believe in the havoc we wreak
Believin', is that so wrong?
Can I get my co-dependent?
[Refrain]
Hump de bump, doop bodu
Bump de hump, doop bop
Hump de bump, doop bodu
Bump de hump, doop bodu
Hump de bump, doop bop
Bump de hump, doop bodu
Bump, bump (Come on!)
[Chorus]
Must have been a hundred miles
Any of a hundred styles
It's not about the smile you wear, but
The way we make out
When I was another loner
Nothin' but a two beach comber
Anybody seen the sky? I'm
I'm wide awake now
[Instrumental Break]
[Interlude]
Gon' getchya, gon' shake ya
Gon' getchya, gon' shake ya
Gon' getchya, gon' shake ya
Gon' getchya, gon' shake ya
Gon' getchya, gon' shake ya
Gon' getchya, gon' shake ya
Gon' getchya, gon' shake ya
[Refrain]
Hump de bump, doop bode
Bump de hump, doop bop
Hump de bump, doop bodu (Oh, no!)
Bump de hump, doop bode
Hump de bump, doop bop
Bump de hump, doop bodu
Bump, bump
[Chorus]
Listen to me, what I said
Try to get it through your head
A little bit of circumstance and
A chance to make out
Livin' in a citadel
It's hard enough to be yourself
Waiting for the bell to toll and
I'm wide awake now
It must have been a hundred miles
Or any of a hundred styles
It's not about the smile you wear, but
The way we make out
When I was another loner
Nothin' but a two beach comber
Anybody seen the sky? I'm
I'm wide awake now
She’s Only 18 Lyrics
[Verse 1: Anthony Kiedis]
She's only eighteen, don't like the Rolling Stones
She took the short cut to being fully grown
She's got that mood ring, a little sister rose
The smell of Springsteen, a pair of pantyhose
[Pre-Chorus: Anthony Kiedis with John Frusciante]
This talking picture show is leaking from a silhouette
She said, “My man, you know, it's time to get your fingers wet”
Your hustle's busted when you can't afford a cigarette
The last I heard from you, you were screaming “Handle it!”
[Chorus: Anthony Kiedis with John Frusciante]
Knock the world, right off its feet and straight onto its head
The book of love will long be laughing after you are dead
Fascinated by the look of you and what was said
Make a play for all the brightest minds, and light will shed
[Verse 2: Anthony Kiedis]
I heard some P-Funk out on the road again
To get your head shrunk, is what I recommend
It's in your bloodline, a perfect Frankenstein
Out on that lone pine, I'm going to make you mine
[Pre-Chorus: Anthony Kiedis with John Frusciante]
It's understood, you wrapped your voodoo right around my neck
You've got some glitter on your kitty at the discotheque
I put my loving in your oven not a head to check
The last I heard from you, you were screaming “Resurrect!”
[Chorus: Anthony Kiedis with John Frusciante]
Knock the world, right off its feet and straight onto its head
The book of love will long be laughing after you are dead
Fascinated by the look of you and what was said
Make a play for all the brightest minds, and light will shed
(Uuh)
[Guitar Solo: John Frusciante, Anthony Kiedis]
Haha!
[Chorus: Anthony Kiedis with John Frusciante]
Knock the world, right off its feet and straight onto its head
The book of love will long be laughing after you are dead
Fascinated by the look of you and what was said
Make a play for all the brightest minds, and light will shed
Slow Cheetah Lyrics
[Intro: John Frusciante]
One, two, three, four
[Verse 1: Anthony Kiedis]
Waking up dead, inside of my head
Would never, never do, there is no med
No medicine to take
I've had a chance to be insane
Asylum from the falling rain
I've had a chance to break
[Verse 2: Anthony Kiedis with John Frusciante]
It’s so bad, it’s got to be good
Mysterious girl misunderstood
Dressed like a wedding cake
Any other day and I might play
A funeral march for Bonnie Brae
Why try and run away?
[Chorus: Anthony Kiedis & John Frusciante]
Slow cheetah, come before my forest
Looks like it's on today
Slow cheetah, come, it's so euphoric
No matter what they say
[Verse 3: Anthony Kiedis with John Frusciante]
I knew a girl, she worked in a store
She knew not what her life was for
She barely knew her name
They tried to tell her she would never be
As happy as a girl in a magazine
She bought it with her pay
[Chorus: Anthony Kiedis & John Frusciante]
Slow cheetah, come before my forest
Looks like it's on today
Slow cheetah, come, it's so euphoric
No matter what they say
[Verse 4: Anthony Kiedis with John Frusciante]
Everyone has so much to say
They talk, talk, talk their lives away
Don’t even hesitate
Walkin' on down to the burial ground
It’s a very old dance with a merry old sound
Looks like it's on today
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Chorus: Anthony Kiedis & John Frusciante]
Slow cheetah, come before my forest
Looks like it's on today
Slow cheetah, come, it's so euphoric
No matter what they say
Slow cheetah, come before my forest
Looks like it's on today
Slow cheetah, come, it's so euphoric
No matter what they say
[Instrumental Outro]
