Red Hot Chili Peppers: One Hot Minute
 
Warped 

My tendency 
for dependency 
Is offending me 
It's upending me 
I'm pretending see 
To be strong and free 
From my dependency 
It's warping me 
So much love 
So rare to dare 
Afraid of 
Ever being there 
Take me home 
I need repair 
Take me please 
To anywhere 
Descend 
all the way 
all the way 
Everyday 
Warped 
and scared 
Of  being  there 
Descended from 
Demented men 
Struggle with 
The art of Zen 
Please don't look 
Too close at me 
You might not like 
What you see 
Night craving 
Sends me crawling oh 
Beg for mercy 
Does it show 
A vacancy 
That's full of holes 
Hold me please 
I'm feeling cold 
  
 

Aeroplane 

Looking in my own eyes 
I can't find the love I want 
Someone better slap me 
Before I start to rust 
Before I start to decompose 
Looking in my rear mirror 
Looking in my rear mirror 
I can make it disappear 
I like pleasure spiked w/pain 
Music is my aeroplane 
It's my aeroplane 
Songbird sweet and sour Jane 
It's my aeroplane 
Sitting in my kitchen 
I'm turning into dust again 
My melancholy baby 
The star of mazzy must 
Push her voice inside of me 
I'm overcoming gravity 
I'm overcoming gravity 
It's easy when you're sad to be 
Just one note 
Could make me float 
Could make me float away 
One note from 
The song she wrote 
Could fuck me where I lay 
Just one note 
Could make me choke 
One note that's 
Not a lie 
Just one note 
Could cut my throat 
One could make me die 

  

Deep Kick 

It started when we were 
little kids free spirits but 
already tormented by our own hands 
given to us by our parents we got together 
and wrote on desks and slept in laundry 
rooms near snowy mountains & slipped through 
whatever cracks we can find minds altered 
we didn't falter in portraying hysterical 
and tragic characters in a smog filled 
universe we loved the dirty city and the 
journeys away from it we had not yet been 
or seen our friends selves chase tails round 
and round in downward spiral leaving trail 
of irretrievable vital life juice behind still 
the brothersbloodcomradespartnerfamilycuzz 
was impenetrable 
and we lived inside it laughing with no clothes 
and everything experimental 'till death was 
upon us in our face mortality and 
lots of things seemed futile then but 
love and music can save us and did while 
the giant grey monster grew more poisoned 
and volatile around us jaws clamping down 
and spewing ugly shit around nothing 
is the same so we keep moving. 
Went off and got some hair cuts 
Lookin' wild & got all drugged up 
Hopped a train into the night 
Got a ride with a transvestite 
Two boys in San Francisco 
Two boys in San Francisco 
Blasted off in a BART bathroom 
Those coppers woke us up 
Motherfuckers woke us up 
Two young brothers on a hover craft 
Telepathics love and belly laughs 
Storm the stage of Universal 
Slim shine talk box go subversal 
Papa's proud and so he sent us 
Pounding hearts full and relentless 
Two boys in London, England 
Two boys in London, England 
Climbing out of hostel windows 
Wearing gear so out but in though 
Come on kid and do the no no 
Two young brothers on a hover craft 
Telepathics, love and belly laughs 
We went to Fairfax High School 
Jumped off buildings into their pools 
We'd sit down and grease at Canters 
Run like hell they can't catch us 
Two boys in L.A. proper 
Two boys in L.A. proper 
Stealin' anything that we could 
Gotta sneak into the Starwood 
Gotta peak into the deep good 
I remember 10 years ago 
in Hollywood we did some good 
and we did some real bad stuff 
but the Butthole Surfers 
always said it's better to regret 
Something you did 
than something you didn't do 
We were young and we 
were looking for the deep kick... 
seen 'em come seen 
'em  go 

  

My Friends 

My friends are so depressed 
I feel the question 
Of your loneliness 
Confide..., 'cause I'll be on your side 
You know I will, you know I will 
X Girlfriend called me up 
Alone and desperate 
On the prison phone 
They want... to give her 7 years 
For being sad 
I love all of you 
Hurt by the cold 
So hard and lonely too 
When you don't know yourself 
My friends are so distressed 
And standing on 
The brink of emptiness 
No words... I know of to express 
This emptiness 
Imagine me taught by tragedy 
Release is peace 
I heard a little girl 
And what she said 
Was something beautiful 
To give... your love 
No matter what 
  
 

Coffee Shop 

I am just a lousy bum 
Searching for the unknown crumb 
The crumb the crumb 
Something or someone to come 
Come along ILLUMINATE my lust 
Combust 
Confucius might have been confused 
And Buddha might have blown a fuse 
I ooze the muse 
Meet me at the coffee shop 
We can dance like Iggy Pop 
Another go in the parking lot 
Frewak the cheek on your hot spot 
Back and forth my body's jerking 
Will to thrill will not stop working 
Work and work 
I'll take you on a honeymoon 
Jumping on a bed in a hotel room 
The room the groom 
Meet me at the coffee shop 
We can dance 
like Iggy Pop 
Another go in the parking lot 
Frewak the cheek on your hot spot 

  

Pea 

I'm a little pea 
I love the sky and the trees 
I'm a teeny tiny little ant 
Checking out this and that 
I am nothing 
So you have nothing to hide 
And I'm a pacifist 
So I can fuck your shit up 
Oh yea I'm small 
Fuck you asshole 
You homophobic redneck dick 
You're big and tough and macho 
You can kick my ass 
So fucking what
 
 

One Big Mob 

I am you are me 
Good woman said you gotta believe 
Submerge into the urge of we 
Deliciously the mystery 
One big mob aw yea aw yea 
One big mob aw yea aw yea 
Ek bara mala aw yea aw yea 
Ek bara mala aw yea aw yea 
Ooze into into my noodle 
East or west shepherd or poodle 
Ladybug pinetree 
To mingle with the bumblebee 
A lover to the sun 
And a brother to the cool breeze 
Scrawled upon the wall 
Of a bathroom stall 
A stranger wrote a note 
That spoke to all 
One two buckle my shoe 
Take care of me 
'Cause I might be you 
We live in the city 
We live in the jungle 
It's time to be drinking 
A thimble humble 
Everything you ever see 
Is never more than you and me 
Give it on in to the beauty of the MYSTERY 
One big mob in one big home 
A broken home 
I'd like to share some air with you 
Some air with you 
A morning forest full of truths 
The green is blue 
The head that's getting pregnant lives 
To give and give 
What was I thinking in my head 
The color red 
Breaking hearts instead of bread 
Something I said 
Checkmated by frustration... 
...Need to be cut loose 
A different kind of being lost 
...A sullen cost 
Picaboo street 
in Timbuktu 
Do I need repeat 
That a boy 
named Sue 
Rockin' 
to the beat 
Of the kangaroo 
Let me kiss your feet 
And your 
forehead 
too

Walkabout 

I think I'll go on a walkabout 
And find out what it's all about 
Just me and my own two feet 
In the heat I've got myself to meet 
A detective of perspective I 
Need to try to get a bigger eye 
I could learn the art of life 
On a walk I could find a wife 
On a walkabout 
You could do it in the city 
You could do it in a zone 
You could do it in a dessert 
You could do the unknown 
On a walkabout 
High dessert skies are what I spy 
So flyÑyou've got to wonder why 
The stingrays must be fat this year 
Moving slow in my lowest gear 
The digirido original man with a dream 
I believe the Aborigine 
On a walkabout 
You could do it with a shuffle 
You could do it with a stroll 
You could do it with a stride 
You could do it all alone 
On a walkabout 
I've been sitting far too long 
At home I've got to get along 
A walk could cure most all my blues 
bare feet or in my two shoe 
Bloodwood flowers in my gaze 
Walkabout in a sunny daze 
On a walkabout 
I think I'll go on a walkabout 
Find out what it's all about 
Just me and my own two feet 
In the heat I've got myself to meet 
Use your legs to rock it wide 
Take a ride to the other side 
 

  
Tearjerker 

My mouth fell open 
Hoping that the truth 
Would not be true 
Refuse the news 
I'm feeling sick now 
What the fuck am I 
Supposed to do 
Just loose and loose 
First time I saw you 
you were sitting 
Backstage in a dress 
A perfect mess 
You never knew this 
But I wanted badly for you to 
Requite my love 
Left on the floor 
Leaving your body 
When highs are the lows 
And lows are the way 
So hard to stay 
Guess now you know 
I love you so. 
 I liked your whiskers 
And I liked the 
Dimple in your chin 
Your pale blue eyes 
You painted pictures 
'Cause the one 
Who hurts 
Can give so much 
You gave me such 
  
 

One Hot Minute 

I was riding 
Riding on my bike 
Me with my friend 
We're so alike 
Am I all alone 
She said all we 
Have is this 
We just had to stop 
And share a kiss 
Am I all alone 
One hot minute 
And I'm in it come and get it (3 times) 
If I chase it 
I might waste it 
Come and get it 
Am I all alone 
Sitting in the fire 
Get along and have some fun 
Floating to be higher 
Maybe I'm your special one 
Silent testifier 
Breathe the moon 
And eat the sun 
Sitting in the fire 
A tiny wink is all 
All we have 
No it's not much more 
But don't get mad 
Am I all alone 
Close your eyes 
And click your heels 
Can you believe 
How good it feels 
Am I all alone 
One hot minute 
And I'm in it come and get it (3 times) 
If I chase it I might waste it 
Come and get it 
Am I all alone 
Three lbs. of love 
Inside my skull 
A million more lives 
It's never dull 
Just a few times spun 
Spun around the sun 
A couple more or less 
And then we're done 

  

Falling Into Grace 

What ever never knew 
That I could feel so good 
Smile in your eyes 
What ever never knew 
That I could walk through wood 
I guess I never tried 
A million years old 
But just a little girl 
Vibin' off the gong 
Rubbin' on the bowls 
Make you float around 
Make your lovin' strong 
And when we get 
In the same place 
At the same time 
It is your grace 
That I want to 
Fall right into now 
To love avow 
I'm falling into grace with you 
I'm falling into guru muhk 
I'm falling into grace with you 
I'm falling into guru muhk 
She moves in a rapture 
That her capsule might 
Land on your star 
Meditating in the morning 
Head dressed in white 
Beauty bazaar 
You can smell the purple light 
Comin' from her heart 
Get lost and wet 
I treat you like a teacher 
'Cause that's what you are 
I wanna be your pet 
And when we get 
In the same place 
At the same time 
It is your grace 
That I want to 
Fall right into now 
To love avow 

  

Shallow Be Thy Game 

I was not created 
In the likeness of a fraud 
Your hell is something scary 
I prefer a loving god 
We are not the center 
Of this funny universe 
And what is something worse 
I do not serve 
In fear of such a curse 
Shallow be thy game 
2000 years look in the mirror 
You play the game of shame 
And tell your people live in fear 
A rival to the way you see 
The bible let him be 
I'm a threat to your survival 
And your control company 
You'll never burn me 
You'll never burn me 
I'll be your heretic 
You can't contain me 
I am the power free 
Truth belongs to everybody 
To anyone who's listenin' 
You're not born into sin 
The guilt they try and give you 
Puke it in the nearest bin 
Missionary maddness 
Sweep up culture w/ a broom 
Trashing ancient ways 
Is par for the course 
It's fucking rude 
To think that you're above 
The laws of nature is a joke 
Purple sashes feeding masses 
Smoke on which to choke 
I might be a monkey 
When it comes to being holy 
Fundamental hatred 
Get down on your knees and 
  
 

Transcending 

You are my god, you are my dog 
You kept me close, love never lost 
I called you hippie, you said fuck off 
Said your brother's a real punk rocker 
Something gonna happen 
Something very soon 
Transcending flesh could be a breeze 
Sending me oh over the Moon 
Friends near death, you gave respect 
Sympathetic Intellect 
Choices are, for one and all 
All we are is, leaves that fall 
Round and round inside your head 
Smartest fucker I ever met 
Vicious fish bit at your toes 
Made you lie and numb your soul 
Mule donkey ass you bore the load 
Of all creations tortured souls 
Choices are, for one and all 
All we are is, leaves that fall 
Hey, gone to stay 
Entire lifetime flash before me 
In a loving stream 
Hey mother may I have lost a child 
But she gave birth 
To a loving stream 
Ooh, never know. When the gods will come and 
Take you 
To a loving stream 
Ooh, heart of gold 
The most special things you gave me were 
From your loving stream 
In a loving stream 
Fuck the magazines 
Fuck the green machine 
See the human being 
In a loving stream 
Fuck the legal greed 
Fuck the nothing scene 
See the family 
In a loving stream
