Strange Man lyrics - Red hot chili peppers

All of my love and most of my fears
Been coming on strong for most of my years
Add up and end up in a song

Cellophane tweeds and revenue streams
Are blocking my shots and killin' my dreams
That showed me how to be the cause

Ooh ahh, yella, ooh ahh, hey ah what now?

It's a lifetime of a strange man, that's right
It's a long time, for me, I see
She wants to belong and, I want to be free
Ex-communicated 'cause there ain't no guarantee

Ooh ahh, yella, ooh ahh, yeah

All of my friends and enemies
They were part of this dance
That put me right here we go
So glad I got this chance

Better known plans and lesser known schemes
Were all about love and less about me
I'd have to say she wore the pants

That's oh!

It's the lifetime of a strange man, that's right
It's a long time for me, uh-huh
She wants to belong and, I want to be free
Ex-communicated 'cause there ain't no guarantee

Woo! Yeah
Ahh
Go
Oh
I've been left
[?]

It's a lifetime of a strange man, that's right
It's a long time, for me, lets see
She wants to belong and, I want to be free
Ex-communicated 'cause there ain't no guarantee

It's a lifetime of a strange man, that's me
It's a long time, for me, uh-uh
She wants to be rich and, I want to be free
Keep your plans elastic 'cause there ain't no, guarantee

Long Progression lyrics - Red hot chili peppers

Smile when I'm shy in ways, but I love
everything of first impressions--
sweet successions.

Been around for quite a while. I see you kept it versatile.
Motivated to combine. Even when it's bad, it's fine.
Did she say something that made you cry?
Have you lost it all--the big fall?
Oh, so slowly, comes back holy.

Bishop takes a knight, but I will put up quite a fight.
Oh, here's your ham on rye.
Elementary, the chemistry means everything to me.
Long progression's why.

Set it off to collect knowledge. Quit a job, and go to college.
All about the aftershock. Swedish, Latin, super Funk.
Moses of Manhattan made it great--
pain we celebrate.
And I love--
the long progression, indiscretion.

Bishop takes a knight, but I will put up quite a fight.
Oh, here's your ham on rye.
Elementary, the chemistry means everything to me.
The long progression's why.
In between the reasons are the psychedelic seasons.
Oh, simple as your stride.
Information intimated, elegant and integrated.
Sweep your floors with pride.

Smile, 'cause it's all a ride--all supplied.
And I love everything about this session and this long progession.

Bishop takes a knight, but I will put up quite a fight.
Oh, here's your ham on rye.
Elementary, the chemistry means everything to me.
The long progression's why.
In between the reasons are the psychedelic seasons.
Oh, simple as your stride.
Elementary, the chemistry means everything to me.
The long progression's why.

Magpies On Fire lyrics - Red hot chili peppers

Magpgies on fire
Making love like little
Worms out on the porch can
Leave the medicine
Oh well I'm game
For anything at all

Scarecrows a liar
Spends the year alone
No one checked it out
To see if it was real
Sold you the moon
And now it's time to fall

All in all it's like the
Bird who's trapped alone inside the cage
Love

What more do you want?
How much more can you take?
I love my mistakes
I've been here before

All in all it's just
A call of something wise beyond your room
There's a changing of a major chord
Your minor threat will do, love

My gun misfired
Shot myself instead I guess
I always knew I'd be the one to lose
Last scream don't slane
Time to make a move

What more do you want?
How much more can you take?
I love my mistakes
I've been here before

All in all it's like the
Bird who's trapped alone inside the cage
Love
A bird who's going to live at half your age, girl
A bird who's never really here to say

What more do you want?
How much more can you take?
I love my mistakes
I've been here before

Least of all she's like
A bird who's now been
Freed from someone's cage

Victorian Machinery lyrics - Red hot chili peppers

Jaded
You're my victorian machinery
Leave yourself to lie
Later
Your tender shape is pinning like the scenery
Ride you like a bike

You be the sailing baby, I'll be the rudder
We could make it all in
'Till it turns into butter
I saw your face
A seminal pleasure, I will love you forever
When I heeded your call in every heavy endeavour
I'll keep your place

Jaded
Coming down the mouth, you're like a buffalo
In your eyes
Crazy
But then again, I'll cook you like your you know
Makes up for her size

You be the sailing baby, I'll be the rudder
We could make it all in
'Till it turns into butter
I saw your face
A seminal pleasure, I will feel you forever
When I heeded your call in every heavy endeavour
I'll keep your place
Be yourself
When I
You be the shark (shack)
And baby I'll be the desert
There is nothing to like
When there is nothing to measure
It's all our space
Whoooh

You are my victorian machinery
Nah nah nah nah nah
Jaded
Make a fist and knock me on the mood again
Leave yourself to lie
Later
Make me feel like I want more than you again
Rock me like the vibe
Crazy
Sing along just like they do in Budapest
On the rise

You be the shark (shack)
And baby I'll be the desert
There is nothing to like
When there is nothing to measure
It's all our space

Never Is A Long Time lyrics - Red hot chili peppers

If I stole it all, or hesitate
The world would always never seems to wait
A comedy that could be so divine
Never is a long time
A shadow born to steal the light of day
You woke me up and said come on let’s play
But now I know this never had between 

You are, you are the star within
The far, the far, the far away
The law that caused it all to stay
By you, by you, by you, by you, for you, I do

I thought I done it all, I thought I knew
But nothing ever looked as clear as you
Now every never that I knew was fine
But Never is a long time
Now I share this feeling in my yang
Stolen good time, always give away
A never that will always wonder what the star will say
From far, from far, from far away
The law that caused it all to stay by you, by you
By you, by you
A baby clapping on your dress, will always have a place I guess, by you, by you
I’m in love, and we could bless the pleasure of my child’s best
Lonely books and tenderness, to rescue me from emptiness

You are, you are the star within
The far, the far, the far away
The law that caused it all to stay
You are, you are, the star within
The far, the far, the far away, it all, it all, it all to stay

Love Of Your Life lyrics - Red hot chili peppers

Sat on a cliff wondering what did I miss
I watched the waves come in,
Roll in, roll out, without a single doubt
Lone on the bluff, is there ever enough
I stare into the air, somewhere out there,
The family affair, bring home the night

There I know that you turn off the light
The-e-e-re so slow but you gave me the love of my life
She gave me the love, she gave the love

Coming up short and I’m sad to report, with us invite tonight
Your kiss, my kiss, another day to waste
Lovers don’t miss, when they can’t even face a plot that has a twist
To share, my prayer, I need my baby bed,
Come home tonight
Whoa

There I know that you turned off the light
The-e-e-re so slow but you gave me the love of my life
There I know that you turned off the light
The-e-e-re so slow but you gave me the love of my life
Love of my life

There I know that you turned off the light
The-e-e-re so slow but you gave me the love of my life
There I know that you turned off the light
The-e-e-re so slow but you gave me the love of my life

There I know that I waited so long
The-e-e-re so slow but you gave me the love of my life
Oh she gave me the love of my life
Tell ‘em Frank, go ahead

The Sunset Sleeps lyrics - Red hot chili peppers

Floozies at the rainbow
Superstars that won’t get far
Who is who that we know
Coochie coo is at the bar

Do you really love
Do you love do you love
Do you want to make the call
We all long, we all fall

Shoelace for the sirens
Groupies and the tyrants ply

Do you really want
Do you want do you want
Do you want to have it all
We all long, we all fall

I’m so tired
Well I get by
But I could use a few
I’m so tired
That I slept
Along the way

Suitcase of perception
Rhinestones and redemption cries

Do you really love
Do you love do you love
Do you want to make the call
We all long, we all fall

I’m so tired
The sun beats down
Upon my lonely face
I’m so tired
That I slept
Along the way

Do you really love
Do you love do you chase
Do you take this town today
We all long, we all face

I’m so tired
Well I get by
But I could use a few
And I’m so tired
That I slept
Along the way

The sun beats down
Upon my lonely face
A perfect world
with all its perfect places
I could use a few
For just in cases

And I’m so tired
That I slept
Along the way

Hometown Gypsy lyrics - Red hot chili peppers

Drivin’ up the coast
To find a version of the truth
Left the backdoor swinging
Like a dirty little sleuth

The truth is I have never
Felt half this alive
Now it’s time to dance
Upon the grave called 45

Jacked up on some Kerouac
And surely bullet proof
The girl who taught me what to do
Was missing her front tooth

Gentle as a storm
Inside your mental health
I wanna find the answer
But I just can’t find myself

I say so long
To the way I played
The way I played
Inside of yesterday
Hey let’s run around
The great escape
From out of my hometown

Later I would look for love
Inside a woman’s dorm
A couch to keep me humble
And her breath to keep me warm

Ophelia was the girl
That I was feeling for
Come to realize
It was me who was the whore

A captain lost himself
Inside a 40 year old skull
The drink of choice was knowledge
And we always wanted more

Drunken sailors
Seeking their Geronimo
Instead they found the things
That they really didn’t wanna know

I say so long
To the way I played
The way I played
Inside of yesterday
Hey let’s run around
The great escape
From out of my hometown

Country roads
Would never let me stay
The way I played
Inside of yesterday

A devil’s growl and cat’s meow
Were blended into one
Termites called suburbanites
Were eating all the fun

A juggernaut of comedy
And blasphemy
I wanna stop the madness
But I think it has to be

I say so long
To the way I played
The way I played
Inside of yesterday
Hey let’s run around
The great escape
From out of my hometown

Country roads
Would never let me stay
The way I played
Inside of yesterday

Hey let’s run around
The great escape
From out of my hometown

Pink As Floyd lyrics - Red hot chili peppers

Say what you need to say
Make it clear
Make it great
Cause it's not too late
And there's no mistake
When you shine
Shake it for me anyway
Now we crash the gate
To investigate
Your fate

Pleasure to meet you
Got so much more
To offer the world
See what's in store
Stay all day
Someone to love
That's my boy chip chop
Open the doors
And we never close shop
Stay all day

And you shine as you redefine
Your time, just another time of day
Do you feel the spark
When you play the part?
Superstar
Fake it for me anyway
Time to tell them all
Without hem or haw
No applause
Tell them how to generate
How to raise the bar
How to keep it hard
To be alive, make it for me anyway
If you care at all
You will bare it all
You will grind, shake it for me anyway
Born to play the part
Dying for your art
Cause it's time
Take it for me anyway
You will clear the air
With a single stare
Your fate

Take what you need to take
To forsake
Make it for me anyway
When we fill the void
That is Pink As Floyd
To destroy
Records that we file away
And I clean the slate
As we calculate
Your fate

Your Eyes Girl lyrics - Red hot chili peppers

I’m afraid that I’m never afraid
I’ve got combat boots
And I’m American made
For your eyes girl

Mormon lover on a delicate day
Gonna marry the boss
Get carried away
War cries girl

I’m not immune to Canadian snow
Now teach me everything
That I should know
With your eyes girl

Freeze on the radio
I’ve got to leave and more
Freeze on the radio
I’ve got to bleed into snow
Hold on
Let go
We know

Do you shine like a temple inside
Can I open your core
So gentle and wide
Like your eyes girl

Rack ‘em up stretch ‘em out
When they’re tight
This acetylene torch is giving me sight
War cries girl

Black and blue from the hullabaloo
Do the caribou bite
When they look into you
And your eyes girl

In Love, Dying lyrics - Red hot chili peppers

In love dying
There’s a flawless rain
In love dying
One foot in the astral plane
Someone’s sighing
There’s a virgin road
Waiting to be strode
Rope’s untying
This power I could not withhold

Satisfying
What do we contain
Can’t stop crying
These tears of change
Remain the same

My girl she shoots down
The baddest of guys
She knows that they
Want me dead
She fires up the starry night
And fills them so full
So full of lead

In love dying
Does it go two ways
In love dying
This body I can not detain

Wake up flying
She the solar shores
Passers buying
The memories we readorn

In love dying
Nothing to obtain
In love dying
No crawling thru
The halls of fame

In love dying
Loss becomes the gain
In love dying
Recreate me
So I may sustain

Catch My Death lyrics - Red hot chili peppers

Death
Let me catch what's left
Let me see what's left
Let me see what's true
Do I really want to
Run from my depths
Will I have regrets
Will I ever find you
Will I ever find words
That give me motive to express

Bread
Will I go unfed
Will I be the one who rushed on in
To where angel fear to tread
Was it me who bled
On the new death bed
And there is no fear
When you're leaning on love
Those grateful dead

[Chorus]
Someone like you
To research the meaning of love
Someone, I do
To be there when push comes to shove
The ending, the must

Chess
Let me play my rest
When I do regress
Let it all unwind
To the board unless
Less I second guess
Look into the sky
Where we all comply
With something higher than the
Rest my love, sail through

[Chorus]

Sky all around
Fell to the ground
Now I'm a child
Stayed for a while

Flesh
Is it meaningless
But we all protest
To the last request
Is there anything you
could now suggest
Did I do my best
Did I leave it better
Even though we look to be
Just mildly obsessed with you
Sail through

[Chorus]

Someone like you
To be there

How It Ends lyrics - Red hot chili peppers

Love is all the world
You say the world is gone
Love is all the world
You say it's gone
I don't

The party in your eyes
Says someone to caress
A party in the sky
I think I'll wear a dress

God saves us all and tell us how it ends
Laugh till we fall so why can't we be friends

Mother taught me what to do in cocktail times
Work and play all day until the sun is high
Haley and the comets sang an old rock jam
The ukulele play another song I'll brag

God saves us all and tell us how it ends
Laugh till we fall so why can't we be friends

Stole a lot from Peter
Cause had to pay your Paul
And when you find that's not enough
He'll break your fall

Some get on and some
Get off the carousel
I think it's time to go
So I will fare thee well

God saves us all and tell us how it ends
Laugh till we fall so why can't we be friends

Stole a lot from Peter
Cause had to pay your Paul
And when you find that's not enough
He'll break your fall

This Is The Kitt lyrics - Red hot chli peppers

This is the kitt, I can't compare
A delicate new arrival
Check the commute I do declare
Lets sing a new revival

Chemical circus at the pub
Mentally she's departed
Cut me a check I'll cut your rug
Later we'll get bombarded

'Cause everybody knows

The game is full of highs and lows
Like your mother said
Girl your father is dead
Everybody knows
That life is full of highs and lows
Is there always red
In your wedding bed
Everybody knows

Officer please I just got there
Traveled from door to door
Haven't you seen my girlfriend's hair
What are we looking for

'Cause everybody knows...

This is the kitt I can't compare
A delicate new arrival
Check the commute I do declare
I think we have our bible

'Cause everybody knows...

Take me to the shore
Show me what it's for
Is there always red
In your wedding bed
Everybody knows
The game is full of cons and pros
Like your mother said
Girl your father's dead
Everybody knows
