Brave From Afar lyrics - Red hot chili peppers

Brave from afar
When I hold you for country
Saved by a star
Can I hold you to one thing
Do you feel safe when
They tell you they sell you
Pray for your children
The shelter they're building

Prime time, the perfect crime
Bow my head, the axe we grind
Ruse cruise, P's and Q's
I got beat up by the evening news
Deep hits, the media blitz
Lost my mind to keep my wits
Maintain the same old same
Goodbye shiz and so long game

Brave from afar
When I hold you for country
Saved by a star
Can I hold you to one thing
Do you feel safe when
They tell you they sell you
Pray for your children
The shelter they're building

Plain Jane, the big campaign
Last detail has been restrained
Fraud, fraud, the lightening rod
See that sign, time to applaud

Brave from afar
When I hold you for country
Saved by a star
Can I hold you to one thing
Do you feel safe when
They tell you they sell you
Pray for your children
The shelter they're building

Hanalei lyrics - Red hot chili peppers

Feeling good and I don’t know why
Another day and another high
I walk around like I am on the ray
Somewhere way in the rays of Hanalei

I met a girl and I liked her vibe
Another day and another ride
I met a girl who wants to save the world, save the world
Make it safe for someone else to find their faith

I’m away I’m away... Hanalei

A simple song and it made me cry
I really don’t want to pass me by
A simple song that spoke of Hemmingway
The revolution in your blood creates the wave

I picked her up on the road to surf
Looked a lot like a mother earth
She said hello my name is Charlotte Gray, hey
Make it safe for someone else to find their faith

I’m away I’m away... Hanalei

Open/Close lyrics - Red hot chili peppers

So we were down in Brazil and, man, that place is wild.
We were in Rio de Janeiro, and uh, we had this, this sort of, uh,
security-guard type guy, and he was supposed to take us around and say hey,
could, you know, could you take us to the,
the favelas and show us the prostitution and the drug deals and the night fights and the,
you know, the street life of your town, and he said sure, so we, we pull up to this hooker,
and she's wearing some kind of a, a bright green miniskirt, and it turns out it's a transsexual,
and he says "Get over here!" and she comes over and she thinks she's busted, but she's not busted.
Naw, she's not busted, he just wanted to smack her on the ass a few times and say "Hey, what's up, girl?"

Get out of bed and I clear up my head and I don't want to go but I do it instead
We all dream within a dream 

Get into bed and I turn off my head,
and I started to float but I sunk when she said, "we're all dreams within a dream"

So I remember we got our driver's license, and my friend Hillel had this little Dodson, painted green, and...
Hollywood would get so crazy in the winter--the rains would come and the hills would just kind of melt down into the city lights,
and, well, you know, we smoked weed and we'd go up in the hills and we'd listen to progressive rock music and just kind of trip out and...
well, we would dream, you know, we would dream, and we would talk about what we wanted to do, and we would talk about girls and music,
and, you know, Hillel wanted to be a rock star--I didn't even know what that was, I was like, whatever you wanna do, man, I'm coming with you.
I'm right with you, my friend. 

Get out of bed and I clear up my head and I don't want to go but I do it instead
We all dream within a dream 

Get into bed and I turn off my head,
and I started to float but I sunk when she said, "we're all dreams within a dream"

(La la la...)

Why in the world would you want it to be--why would you wanna take it so... so literally? 
All these things that come down from the sky, raining upon your head, make you stop and wonder why--ah! 
Can't they just spell it out, make it clear, make it easy to read for the simple man like me? 
I don't think so 
I reach out to my family and I say 
It's not about religion and the God sitting in a chair in the sky with a punishing hand, oh
It's about heaven in your heart 
Now when shall we start? 
I wanna choose love instead of fear
Won't you come right now over here and be a part of my... 
(Ah)
This time
I love you

"I'm With You" (2011)




Monarchy Of Roses lyrics - Red hot chili peppers

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 on to task?
The calicoes of Pettibon where cultures come to clash

[Chorus:]
Several of my best friends wear, the colours 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 tonight

The clothes between my former queen, her legendary stare
The holy tears that I am in, the lovely cross to bear

[Chorus:]
Several of my best friends know, the secrets of this town
And Mary wants to raise it up, and Sherry wants to spit it all around, girl
The sailors of the night
The monarchy of roses
The monarchy of roses tonight

[Chorus:]
Several of my best friends wear, the colours 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

Hey yeah
We all want the rose you know
I said
Hey yeah
Show us love before you go
Say I will, and then I say I want to
The story knows that I will never haunt you

Hey yeah
We all want the rose you know
I said
Hey yeah
Show us love before you go
Say I will, and then I say I want to
The story knows that I will always haunt you
Hey

Factory Of Faith lyrics - Red hot chili peppers

All my life I was swinging for the fence,
I was looking for the triple,
Never playing good defence

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

Piece of work, I was really quite a jerk
Keeping score is such a bore, a busy mind can go berserk
Oh feast on this, I was fishing for a hook
So I took a little trip, and I opened up the book

I said
Factually I, I'm just a piece of it
Factually I, the very least of it
Factually I, is just a medicine
Make you wanna cry, why don't they let us in?

[Chorus:]
Be my wife, I think you right that we should mate
Tell your friends, I got a factory of faith
Late last night, I had a dream that it was great
Tell your friends, I got a factory of faith
I got a factory of...

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 living in and out of every other sex machine

I said
Factually I, I'm just a piece of it
Factually I, the very least of it
Factually I, is just a medicine
Makes you wanna cry, why don'd they let us in?

[Chorus:]
Be my wife, I think you right that we should mate
Tell your friends, I got a factory of faith
Late last night, I had a dream that it was great
Tell your friends, I got a factory of faith
I got a factory of...

Be my wife, I think you right that we should mate
Tell your friends, I got a factory of faith
Late last night, I had a dream that it was great
Tell your friends, I got a factory of faith
I got a factory of...
Faith
And love
And luh-ooh-uh-ooh-uh-ooh-uh-ooh-ove

Brendan's Death Song lyrics - Red hot chili peppers

Live and die before I get it done,
Will you decide.
I'll take my words and turn them into sounds,
It 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 rye.
And when you hear this,
You 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 gonna 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.

We all crossed
When we were feeling lost,
It's just the time.
Kateri cried,
The day her lover died,
She recognized.
Because ya gave her,
A life of real love,
It's no surprise.

The night's are long,
But the years are short,
When you're alive.
Way back when,
Will never be again,
It was a time.
It's gonna catch you,
So glad I met you,
To walk a line.

[Chorus:]
Like I said you know I'm almost dead,
You know I'm almost gone.
And when the drummer drums,
He's gonna 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.

Come get me
Hey!

Hey!

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 gonna 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.

Then we live,
So every time you die,
He's in the revert sky.
Lay me down,
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.
(I said yeah!
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!)
And when the drummer drums,
He's gonna play my song,
To carry me along.
(I said yeah!
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!)
Like I said you know I'm almost dead,
You know I'm almost gone.
(I said yeah!
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!)
And when the boatman comes to ferry me away,
To where we all belong.
(I said yeah!
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!)

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.

Annie Wants A Baby lyrics - Red hot chili peppers

Lucy Reibart,
she's a friend of mine.
Later she'll go,
back and redefine the line.
It's getting longer all the time.
Oh yeah
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

Sing along the way
Nothing stops the ache

Sugar daddy
Loves her madly
Cosma shiva
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.

Missing pieces,
she's got a lot of em.
Time decreases,
I wish I thought of em before.
Before it's time to close the store.
Oh yeah

Installation,
a lonely sink of fame.
Some liberation,
the only seed we ever farm.
I wanna help you but I can't.
No No

Sing along the way
Nothing stops the ache

Sugar daddy
Loves her madly
Love 'er leave 'er
Got off
Made you a believer
Neon soldiers
Left her
Now you've gotten older
Annie wants a baby now.
Annie wants a baby any way she can.

It's getting longer all the time.
It's time to re-design the sign.
Oh yeah
Sing along the way

Look Around lyrics - Red hot chili peppers

Woo!
Stiff club, its my nature,
Custom love is the nomenclature.
Turn down mass confusion,
Hit the road because 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.

It's emotional and I told you so,
But you had to know so I told you.
Soft walk to horizon,
One big crash that no one dies in.
This 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

It's emotional and I told you so,
But you had to know so I told you.
Please don't look right through me,
Hurts my heart when you do that to me.
Street lights out my window,
City May breeze gonna stroke my skin though.
Dropped 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 ah
Woo!

[Bridge x4:]
Move it ah gotta get ya, wanna get you
Move it ah gotta get ya, gonna 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 ah

[Outro:]
God I'm feeling small
And I'm hitting a wall
Gonna leave it all around

The Adventures Of Rain Dance Maggie lyrics - Red hot chili peppers

[Verse]
Lip stick junkie
Debunked the only one
She came back wearing a smile
Lookin' like someone drugged me
They wanted to unplug me
No one here is on trial
It's just a turnaround
And we go, oh
Well then we go uh huh oh

Tick tock I want to rock you
Like the eighties
Cock blocking isn't allowed
Tugboat Sheila is into memorabilia
Who said three is a crowd?
We better get it on the go

[Chorus]
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

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]
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]
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]
We've got the wrong girl
But not for long girl
It's in the song girl
'Cause I'll be gone girl

[Chorus]
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

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

[scat]

Bye bye girl
Bye bye girl
Bye bye

Did I Let You Know lyrics - Red hot chili peppers

(C'mon c'mon)

[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
Did I let you know?
Would you like to go
Unwrap the package with a much persuasion
Did I let you know?
Would you like to go
I wanna dance to every day's occasion

[Chorus:]
This I know, yeah this I know! (Take me home, well take me home)
This I know we not alone! (Take me home, take me home)

When we invision, lack of division and
The planet does another revolution
The day I blew on ya you said I grew on ya
Turns out that we are all the one solution
GO!

[Trumpet Solo]

I'm coming at you well, you are the cap too and
I like the sound of your articulations
Want to arouse her and maybe espouse her well
She showed me love with out the stipulations

[Chorus]

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3:]
I wanna lean on you, get jan and dean on ya
It's time to sway a little mass perception
I like your cheeky well, so mose and peaky and
I think the world could use a clear connection

[Chorus x2]

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?
