Police Station lyrics - Red hot chili peppers

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.

I saw you on the back page of some free press yesterday.
The drift wood in your eyes said nothing short of love for pay.
I know you from another picture,
Of someone with the most convictions.
We used to read the funny papers,
Fooled around and pulled 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.

I saw you on a TV station and it made me wanna 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:]
Tell your country I, rest my face on your bed.
I bet my sovereign country and I, left it all for your head.

I saw you in the church 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.

[Chorus 2:]
Tell your country I, rest my face on your bed.
I bet my sovereign country and I, left it all for your head

I got my best foot forward and I'll chase you down 'til you're dead.

Even You Brutus? lyrics - Red hot chili peppers

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 a long long.

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.

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 'em 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.

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.

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
I've got a mess of a better half, ow
Hey, sister Judas
Even you never had my back.

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
I've got a mess of a better half, ow
Hey, sister Judas
Even you never had my back.

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 - Red hot chili peppers

Please don't ask me who, who you think I am,
I could live without that, I'm just a modest man.
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 thru now,
Receding into the forest, I will lay around and wait,
And I'll wait for you.

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.
Meet me at the corner where I'll, tell me what to do. do.
Cause I'm messed up on you, and had I known all that I do now,
I'm guessing we're thru now,
Receding into the forest, I will lay around and wait,
And I'll wait for you.

I feel so bad, I thought you'd wanna know,
I feel so bad, I thought you'd wanna know,
Something I wanna show, I thought you ought to know.

Please don't say you want to keep in touch out there,
To see you on the corner, that I just can't bare.
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 thru now,
Receding into the forest, I will lay around and wait,
And I'll wait for you.

Hey 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 whenever,
Whenever I'm in, thank you girl for everywhere that I've been.

Dani California lyrics - Red hot chili peppers

Gettin' born in the state of Mississippi 
Papa was a copper and mama was a hippie 
In Alabama she would swing a hammer 
Price you gotta pay when you pick the panorama 
She never knew that there was anything more than poor 
What in the world? What does your company take me for?

Black bandana, sweet Louisiana 
Robbin' on a bank in the state of Indiana 
She's a runner, rebel and a stunner 
Oh her merry way sayin' baby whatcha gonna
Lookin' down the barrel of a hot metal forty five 
Just another way to survive 

[Chorus:] 
California rest in peace 
Simultaneous release 
California show your teeth 
She's my priestess, I'm your priest, yeah, yeah 

She's a lover baby and a fighter 
Shoulda seen her coming when it got a little brighter 
With a name like Dani California 
Day was gonna come when I was gonna mourn ya 
A little loaded, she was stealin' another breath 
I love my baby to death 

[Chorus] 

Who knew the other side of you? 
Who knew what others died to prove?
Too true to say good bye to you 
Too true to say say say... 

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 

Down in the badlands she was savin' the best for last 
It only hurts when I laugh 
Gone too fast...

[Chorus 2x]

Snow (Hey Oh) lyrics - Red hot chili peppers

Come to decide that the things that I tried were in my life just to get high on.
When I sit alone, come get a little known
But I need more than myself this time.
Step from the road to the sea to the sky, and I do believe that we rely on
When I lay it on, come get to play it on
All my life to sacrifice.

Hey oh... listen what I say oh
I got your hey oh, now listen what I say oh

When will I know that I really can't go
To the well once more - time to decide on.
Well it's killing me, when will I really see, all that I need to look inside.
Come to believe that I better not leave before I get my chance to ride,
Well it's killing me, what do I really need - all that I need to look inside.

Hey oh... listen what I say oh
Come back and hey oh, look at what I say oh

The more I see the less I know
The more I'd like to let it go - hey oh, whoa...

Deep beneath the cover of another perfect wonder where it's so white as snow,
Finally divided by a world so undecided and there's nowhere to go;
In between the cover of another perfect wonder and it's so white as snow,
Running through the field where all my tracks will be concealed and there's nowhere to go.

Ho!

Went to descend to amend for a friend of the channels that had broken down.
Now you bring it up, I'm gonna ring it up - just to hear you sing it out.
Step from the road to the sea to the sky, and I do believe what we rely on,
When I lay it on, come get to play it on
All my life to sacrifice

Hey oh... listen what I say oh
I got your hey oh... listen what I say oh

The more I see, the less I know
The more I'd like to let it go - hey oh, whoa...

Deep beneath the cover of another perfect wonder where it's so white as snow.
Finally divided by a world so undecided and there's nowhere to go
In between the cover of another perfect wonder where it's so white as snow
Running through the field where all my tracks will be concealed and there's nowhere to go.

I said hey hey yeah oh yeah, tell my love now.
Hey hey yeah oh yeah, tell my love now.

Deep beneath the cover of another perfect wonder where it's so white as snow,
Finally divided by a world so undecided and there's nowhere to go.
Deep beneath the cover of another perfect wonder where it's so white as snow...
Running through the field where all my tracks will be concealed and there's nowhere to go.

I said hey oh yeah oh yeah... tell my love now
Hey yeah yeah... oh yeah.

Charlie lyrics - Red hot chili peppers

All aboard... stitching time
Get yours... got mine
In a minute... ill be there
Sit tight... get square
You can do it at the hippodrome
slide back... trombone
Anybody got a TV at home
Thats right... unknown.

When I pick up on that smell
Pick it up and run like hell
Little woman send me some
Better get up on your run

[Chorus:]
So much more than 
Charlie's waking me
To my core and 
Charlie's shakin' me
Tell my story
And Charlie's making me
And Charlie's making me smile.
Oh, Oh, now

Everybody... do the twist
Get the the message... on Flea's fists
Move around like a scientist
Lay down... get kissed
Big picture and it never lies
Big daddy... will advice
Eveready... in disguise
Sunset... sunrise

When I pick up on that smell
Pick it up and run like hell
Little woman send me some
Better get up on your run

[Chorus]

My heart... Your skin
This love... I'm in
We don't arrive, without a suprise
You're right... I'm wrong
Be free... Be long
Intimate sight has come into light

When I pick up on that smell
Pick it up and run like hell
Little woman send 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

[Chorus]

My heart... Your skin
This love... I'm in
We don't arrive without a suprise
You're right... I'm wrong
Be free... Be long
Intimate sight has come into light

My heart... Your skin
This love... I'm in
We don't arrive without a suprise
You're right... I'm wrong
Be free... Be long
Intimate sight has come into light

Stadium Arcadium lyrics - red hot chili peppers

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

Pushin a broom out into space
And this is where I find a way

The stadium arcadium
A mirror to the moon
I'm forming I'm warming
State of the art
Until the clouds come crashing

Stranger things have happened
Both before and after noon
I'm forming I'm warming
Pushing myself
And no I don't mind asking
Now

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

And this is where I find

Rays of dust that wrap around
Your citizen

Kind enough to disavow
And this is where I stand

Hump De Bump lyrics - red hot chili peppers

40 detectives this week
40 detectives strong
Takin' a stroll down Love Street
Strollin' is that so wrong
Can I get my co-defendant

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

Listen to me what I said
Try to get it through your head
A little bit of circumstance
A chance to make out

Livin' in a citadel
It's hard enough to be yourself
Waiting for the bell to toll
And I am wide awake now

Workin' the beat as we speak
Working the belle du monde
Believe in the havoc we wreak
Believin', is that so wrong
Can I get my co-dependent

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 an all aloner
Nothin' but a two-beach comber
Anybody seen the sky?
I'm wide awake now

She's Only 18 lyrics - Red hot chili peppers

She's only 18
Don't like the Rolling Stones
She took a short cut
To being fully grown

She's got that mood ring
A little sister rose
The smell of Springsteen
A pair of pantyhose

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"

Knock the world right off it's 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

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 gunna make you mine

It's understood you wrap
Your voodoo right around my neck
You've got some glitter on your
Kitty at the discotheque
I put my lovin' in your oven
Not a head to check
The last I heard from you
You were screaming "resurrect"

Knock the world right off it's 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

Knock the world right off it's 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 - Red hot chili peppers

Waking up dead inside of my head
Will 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

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:]
Slow cheetah come
Before my forest
Looks like it's on today

Slow cheetah come
It's so euphoric
No matter what they say

I know 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 the girl
In the magazine
She bought it with her pay

[Chorus]

Everyone has
So much to say
They talk talk talk
Their lives away
Don't even hesitate

Walking on down
To the burial ground
It's a very old dance
With a merry old sound
Looks like it's on today

[Chorus 2x]

Torture Me lyrics - Red hot chili peppers

Because I'm happy to be sad
I want it all I want it bad
Oh-oh-it's what I know

A vintage year for pop I hear
The middle of the end is near

Torture me and torture me
It's forcin' me so torture me
Torture me with sorcery
It's forcin' me so torture me

All the leaves are turning brown
The wind is pushing me around
Let's go-it's what I know

The will of God is standing still
Brazilian children get their fill
Let's go...

Let's turn it up and dumb it down
The vision of your ultra sound
Is so...

A vintage year for pop I hear
The middle of the end is near
It's so...
