Return Of The Dream Canteen Album Lyrics by Red Hot Chili Peppers

Tippa My Tongue

Ya, ya-ya-ya, ya-ya-ya, ya-ya-ya, ya
Well, I'm an animal
Somethin' like a cannibal
I'm very flammable
And partially programmable
Centuries of overuse
Now I wear it nice and loose

Ya, ya-ya-ya, ya-ya-ya, ya-ya-ya, ya
Well, it's ubiquitous
Tell me, can you stick to this?
I'm on the brink of this
And tell me what you think of this
I'm in the Beauregard's
Slow me down if I get hard

We've only just begun
Funky monks are on the run
Gonna, gonna, gonna get you with the tip of my tongue
And when you walk away
I know what the kiss would say
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah, ah
Gonna get you now

Her perfume smells like gasoline
My girlfriend's trash is nice and clean
Acid landing on my tongue
I think you know we've just begun
She don't want the ladies room
Transatlantic super groom

Your hairplane is a monument
The sexy art of continence
And now I know you by your scent
Let it be, we both get bent
Need a minute to repair
Sunny-siders always share

We've only just begun
Funky monks are on the run
Gonna, gonna, gonna get you with the tip of my tongue
And when you walk away
I know what your kiss would say
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah, ah
I'm gonna get you with the tip of my gun

Ya, ya-ya-ya, ya-ya-ya, ya-ya-ya, ya
Well, I believe in love
Perfectly receivin' love
It's vociferous
Then come and get a whiff of this
I'm at the pyramids
Never had a fear of kids

Ya, ya-ya-ya, ya-ya-ya, ya-ya-ya, ya
I'm on the precipice
I come and make a mess of this
It's the apocalypse
I try to get a sock of this
I'm at the county fair
Haystack ride, I'll pull your hair

We've only just begun
Funky monks are on the run
Gonna, gonna, gonna get you with the tip of my tongue
And when you walk away
I know what the kiss would say
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah, ah
Gonna, gonna, gonna get you with the tip of my gun
We've only just begun
Funky monks are on the run
Gonna, gonna, gonna get you with the tip of my tongue
And when you walk away
I know what your kiss would say
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah, ah
Gonna get you now

Peace & Love

Stick with me darling, I will be your man
Your company calls the best up out of me
Click with me, baby, I will lay this hand
Soft as any moss upon your feet
Stayley are you out there? I am in your lane
Catch that cup of water when it falls
Wait for me, darlin', I'll be on that train
Catman had a message for us all

Shoutout to my lonely friends
Message that I meant to send
I got peace and love for you right now
And when I see my little sis
A middle western genius
She's got peace and love for you somehow

Gitchi Gummi sisters playing with the wind
Semi-naked flowers by my side
Gitchi Gummi sisters with your golden skin
What is in your nature we can't hide
Well, I'm a lover to all my tribes
Oh, tell me, motherf*cker, can you feel my vibes?
She's a lover to dance on Earth
Now I know the meaning of what it's worth

Shoutout to my lonely friends
Message that I meant to send
I got peace and love for you right now
And when I see my little sis
A middle western genius
She's got peace and love for you somehow

Drift with me Woodson to another side
A streak of violence be lion's pride
Sober senorita and two-hundred tears
A trail of happiness and tears have dried

Shoutout to my lonely friends
Message that I meant to send
I got peace and love for you right now
And when I see my little sis
A middle western genius
She's got peace and love for you somehow

Tell me something I don't know
I've got no better place to go
I've got peace and love for you right now
Surely as I jump this bus
Nothing but the two of us
We've got peace and love for you somehow

Reach Out

Drop another snake bomb, it might shake
I confused it with an earthquake
Mass confusion in a mason jar
Texas blood flow in a biker bar
Stick to bluegrass guns
We are riding with the flying nuns
Tell me all the dirty things you have seen
Are you laced up? Well, are you really clean?

I'ma lose it if I do not find, oh
Someone better reach out
Find a steady shine
Someone better reach out
Get it on the line
I'm a bruiser and I do not mind, oh
Someone better reach out
Climb a mountain time
Someone better reach out
Get it on the line

Cruising down the hill in a blue streetcar
Can't refuse it, no matter who you are
Filling up your head with a bathtub rose
We composed it, but does it really show?
Slow your donkeys down
This good lord is from a border town
I'm about to lose what little I've got
Please don't treat me like an afterthought

I'ma lose it if I do not find, oh
Someone better reach out
Find a steady shine
Someone better reach out
Get him on the line
I'm a bruiser and I do not mind, oh
Someone better reach out
Climb a mountain time
Someone better reach out
Get it on the line

Feel my call the lexicon makes its
Own way, own way
Break this fall, the excellence has it's
Own say, own say

Hazard pay for a canceled bear
Bygone Sally with the greasy hair
Hard as nails but soft to wear
Rooftop crops up, well, and a folding chair
Pay your thug store Hench
Mugshot daddy with the golden wrench
Locomotive smoke to cover up what's broke
Please don't seize me until you get my joke

I'ma lose it if I do not find, oh
Someone better reach out
Find a steady shine
Someone better reach out
Get him on the line
I'm a bruiser and I do not mind, oh
Someone better reach out
Climb a mountain time
Someone better reach out
Get it on the line
I'ma lose it if I do not find, oh
Someone better reach out
Find a steady shine
Someone better reach out
Get him on the line

Eddie

Sailing the Sunset Strip, I'm a bit of a king
Granny would take a trip, I've been bending the strings
Got hammers in both my hands, such a delicate touch
They say I'm from Amsterdam, does that make me Dutch?

Please don't remember me for what I did last night, oh
Please don't remember me
Lord and children
Please don't remember me, it's only 1980
It's only 1983

Smoking the reefer, feeling my own light
My brother's a keeper, I married a TV wife
The devil's Camaro, parked in the high school lot
A little sombrero 'cause teacher was way too hot

Please don't remember me for what I did last night, oh
Please don't remember me
Listen Lord now
Please don't remember me, it's only 1980
It's only 1983

Tell my love "But leave me never"
Can't complain about the weather
Snowing at the rainbow, have a ball
Cut my teeth down at the Whiskey
GTO's tried to kiss me
One more song, they have seen it all

Please don't remember me for what I did last night, oh
Please don't remember me
What'd I say Lord?
Please don't remember me, it's only 1980
It's only 1983

Please don't remember me for what I did with David
You know I'm talkin' David Lee
Am I ready?
Please don't remember me, for what I did last night, oh
I guess I played a flying V

Fake as Fu@k

Listening to the great beyond
Where misdirection waves its magic wand
Everybody sing that song
Tuesday morning comes along
I read the news, it's all gone wrong
The facts of life have left too soon
Serving up doom and gloom
Never gonna leave my room
Black Capricorn will blow the horn
For all the love that can't be born today
Everybody walk away

Set 'em on up to knock 'em all down
And take me to your leader where the make up
Is fake as f*ck
Strap it on in to map it on out
Spin doctors wanna make you think you're straight up
Just out of luck
Set 'em on up to knock 'em all down
And take me to your leader where the make up
Is fake as f*ck
Strap it on in to map it on out
Spin doctors wanna make you think you're straight up
Just out of luck

Friday afternoon is cool
I lost my faith in Sunday school
Deliver me from Liverpool
I feel just like an April fool
Someone's gotta break the rule
Sticking to the script
We built another sinking ship
She's so alone
Never gonna leave my home
Mother nature can't go wrong
The science God's forever strong
A-floating in the great beyond
And everybody sing along
Everybody rock that song

Set 'em on up to knock 'em all down
And take me to your leader where the make up
Is fake as f*ck
Strap it on in to map it on out
Spin doctors wanna make you think you're straight up
Just out of luck
Because you're here
Set 'em on up to knock 'em all down
And take me to your leader where the make up
Is fake as f*ck
Strap it on in to map it on out
Spin doctors wanna make you think you're straight up
Just out of luck

I'm a lonely, lonely lord
Searchin' all night for the wrong reward
An appetite that's running on all fours
Misdirection waves its wand
Turning my head from black to blonde
Like a queen will now become the pawn
Busted on a ship gone, take me home
Mother named faith, made lightning comes
Busted on a ship that's sailing through the foam
I'm a lonely, lonely lord
Pick another day to be restored
Just another fate that's going overboard

Bella

She wants to live in LA
Come put your ash in my tray

Once upon a funky crime
We were standing in the line
And now, we're walking Melrose down to Vine

Well, I was asking her to live on my farm
And she was telling me, "No, not today"
I was telling her to do no harm
And she was telling me she could not stay

She'd rather live in LA
Down in Marina Del Rey

I love her, I need her
Can't stop until I feed her
I want her so badly
Hell no, my name ain't Bradley
I'd wash her and clean her
Please tell me, have you seen her?
Outlast her, drive past her
Margarita gonna be my master

Bella cries and that's alright
She's weeping on my shoulder again
Well, Bella lies and that's my type
I wish that I could hold her
Bella cries and that's alright
She's leaking on my shoulder again
Well, Bella lies and that's my type
I wish that I could hold

She wants to live in LA
Where every dog has her day

Flip flops in the toaster now
Scotch tape on this broken vow
And wow, it's time to live without my puppy's chow

I was asking her to live in the sticks
And she was telling me, "There is no way"
The cheeky monkey was an anarchist
And she was telling me she could not stay

She'd rather live in LA
Down in Marina Del Rey

I love her, I need her
Can't stop until I feed her
I want her so badly
Hell no, my name ain't Bradley

Bella cries and that's alright
She's weeping on my shoulder again
Well, Bella lies and that's my type
I wish that I could hold her
Bella cries and that's alright
She's leaking on my shoulder again
Well, Bella lies and that's my type
I wish that I could hold her

Out on the country road, I sold my 40
This comeback episode, hold on shorty
Yes, Frank Sinatra knows the summer wind will blow
And skinny mornings drop below
Sold my 40
To Northern Jordie
I'll tell you when I move
To hell and then I'll prove
The bottle innocent
Oh, whoa, whoa
And now the fun is
No one will notice

Bella cries and that's alright
She's weeping on my shoulder again
Well, Bella lies and that's my type
I wish that I could hold her
Bella cries and that's alright
She's leaking on my shoulder again
Well, Bella lies and that's my type
I wish that I could hold Bella
Leakin' on my shoulder again
That's Bella
Bella, girl, alone I sing
My Bella
Weepin' on my shoulder again
Well, Bella

Roulette

The college years were lean, well
Coming out but maybe not so clean, my love
And if I stay much longer
My feelings for you, they might get much stronger now
A Motorola coma
Sleep your way into a deep diploma, girl
At the dormitory
You come to pour me one of your best stories, girl

And I feel your face getting wet
Like the color red of roulette
And I place my losing bet
On your side
And I see your eyes of regret
But you gave as good as you get
Like the Massachusetts threat
Running wild

A pair of dirty jeans, well
You would wash inside my brass machine, that's good
Laying on your mattress
A thing of beauty, we would need more practice now
Hall and Oates were singing
The funny notes that you were always bringing, girl
An elevator's closing
Hard to hide when love is so exposing

And I feel your face getting wet
Like the color red of roulette
And I place my losing bet
On your side
And I see your eyes of regret
But you gave as good as you get
Like the Massachusetts threat
Running wild

When I drove her
To Villanova
Light me up when you decide
The stark aroma
Of your Tacoma
A tiny box where we reside
Battle tested
A life invested
Duly noted and denied
Fully loaded
Space encoded
A quiet night out in the sky

Your stack of lies was daunting
A tribute to your mind, but way more haunting now
A talking psycho killer
Betrayed the heads of even Henry Miller now
Conspiracy's a theory
I wonder, Tim, if this could be your Leary, love
She acts like Marlon Brando
Born online inside the San Fernando

My Cigarette

My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my cigarette
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my cigarette
One minute please while I sit back and reflect
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my cigarette

Sip from this glass of hours
We pass like faulty towers
My sweetness, it's not weakness
Blackholes wink, but she devours

My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my cigarette
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my cigarette

Greek to me, I don't speak Latin
Island calling, must be Staten
Nat King Cole and Dick Van Patten
New York Dolls all dressed in satin

My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my cigarette
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my cigarette
Just one possession in the life that we get
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my cigarette

Jumping Jiminy the cat is in the chimney
Curtain call and I need some anonymity
Trip my balls beat, lost on Wall Street
We all fall, that's my cross street

My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my cigarette
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my cigarette

This business of forgiveness
Free your mind and we bare witness
Bring me windshield wiper fluid
Clean my slate so I'm not clueless

My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my cigarette
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my cigarette

Charming mister deadpan laughter
Walking towards the things we're after
Dancing David Lee toastmaster
Take some chances, that's my rapper

My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my cigarette
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my cigarette
So many daydreams that I tend to forget
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my cigarette

Jumping Jiminy the cat is in the chimney
A curtain call and I need some anonymity
Smokey defect, time to reflect
My game and now we eject

My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my cigarette
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my cigarette
One minute please while I sit back and reflect
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my cigarette
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my cigarette
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my cigarette
Don't know how happy that a person can get
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my cigarette

Afterlife

Long live the king
The young grows old
With his buffalo spring

I got a Tupelo and we're ready to go
We gonna hit it all night with the rock and a roll
And if I'm feelin' uptight, gonna leave it alone
We're gonna board up on the flight to the great unknown, well

That's all I'm saying now
Hear what I'm playing, yes
High on a light from above
You're somebody special, well
Someone to wrestle now
Take from the lake of your love

Long after we have been gone from this song
Well, the afterlife sings one for me
Lost in the length of those warm ass horizons
The afterlife knows where I'll be

We gonna get it up for the brotherly cup
And when I bring it on down with the Jamison Brown
Well, on a cold, cold night round a Baton Rouge
We gonna make it alright with Iggy the Stooge

Well, pull on my lever
It's my guilty pleasure, yes
Born to live life on the run
Take from this river
And give to the ocean, yeah
They gave us more than enough

Long after we have been gone from this song
Well, the afterlife sings one for me
Lost in the length of those warm ass horizons
The afterlife knows where I'll be

Long after we have been gone from this song
Well, the afterlife sings one for me
Lost in the length of those warm ass horizons
The afterlife knows where I'll be
Long after we have been gone from this song
There will be something to see
My mother said there will be some surprises
The afterlife shows them to me

Shoot Me a Smile

Swimming around
There's something new to be found
It's such a beautiful sound
Bare naked feet on the ground
Swimming around
And I will sing you a song always

A nautical mile
You'll be the sun to my dial
I'll be the rank in your file
Just come with me for a while
A nautical mile
And I will shoot you the breeze always

Flowers in bloom
I get 'em off of the moon
To make my baby go boom
I put my grease in your spoon
Flowers in bloom
And you're the colors of June some days

Here we come, we're not far away
And I'll tell you more when I come to stay
Shoot me a smile
And I will show you the love always
Here we come, and we're very close
And I'll give you more with this micro dose
Shoot me a smile
And I will show you the love always

Out on the road
I've got some cases to load
Some other places to go
Some other faces to know
Out on the road
Where I will show you the love parade

A lateral move
With nothing better to prove
Just hanging out with the crew
I'll put the wop in your doo
A lateral move
With nothing better to prove some days

Give me a home
I cannot make it alone
I need to share what I own
I'll be the cream in your cone
Give me a home
And I will show you the love always

Here we come, we're not far away
And I'll tell you more when I come to stay
Shoot me a smile
And I will show you the love always
Here we come, and we're very close
And I'll give you more with this micro dose
Shoot me a smile
And I will show you the love always

I don't ever wanna lose my head
Last name's Hot and my first name's Red
I don't ever wanna get so tight
Wearing it loose like a summer's night

Strappin' for cash
I'm eating bangers and mash
And I remember The Clash
And I remember The Clash
Strappin' for cash
But I will make you feel safe always

Bring it around
Just like the fox and the hound
Because it's openly crowned
I'm on a merry-go-round
Bring it around
And I will sleep with a smile always

I never began
Because I'm never to end
I'm gonna buck every trend
I'm gonna make you my friend
I never began
But I will give you a start always

Here we come, we're not far away
And I'll tell you more when I come to stay
Shoot me a smile
And I will show you the love always
Here we come, and we're very close
And I'll give you more with this micro dose
Shoot me a smile
And I will show you the love always

Handful

I wanna splash some water all over my face
I'll stick and move, you know I don't feel no disgrace
I'll take it all off so everyone can see
The damage that I am, all the troubles that I be

Someone to roll me right over
Handful of love when it's time to get older, yeah

There's a chapter in my book that I don't want you read
There's a chapter in my life where I failed to succeed
I wanna take your smell inside my dirty mind
You put a spell on me, no, I'm not the dying kind

Someone to roll me right over
Handful of love when it's time to get older

Someone to love for the rest of your days
Out on the road
Sky turns to water and night into days
Someone to hold

I need to see you comin' 'round my front door
It don't matter why, nah-nah-nah-nah-nah-nah, it don't matter what for
Let's turn your body into a drive-in movie screen
You can shoot 'em all down so they won't steal my dream

Someone to roll me right over
Handful of love when it's time to get older

Someone to love for the rest of your days
Out on the road
Sky turns to water and night into days
Someone to hold

I wanna splash a little love on your face
You fill me right up while you put me in my place
God only knows what she's got up her sleeve
And God only goes to the places that we need

Someone to roll me right over
Handful of love when it's time to get older
Someone to roll me right over
Handful of love when it's time

The Drummer

Stay awake
Fall asleep
Take a look at what you think and what you really need to keep
My atoms are indivisible
Shut it up
Run it down
Live a life that's underground, a heated love that's not allowed
A Dum Dum Club is inadmissible

Let's make a wish as we enter the lift
'Cause the system's a relative bore
The drummer is leaning without any meaning
Outside of the Club Troubadour
I don't know you
And I don't know what's true anymore

Walk it back
Get the knack
Information to unpack a guitar in a gunny sack
My best move is in the criminal

Let's make a wish as we enter the lift
'Cause the system's a relative bore
The drummer is leaning without any meaning
Outside of the Club Troubadour
I don't know you
And I don't know what's true anymore

Let's move like the Chapatula do
I'd be down to wallow in New Orleans
See-through sunrise on the Waterloo
Slits are rather fancy when they're forming
I do

Better days
On the way
Flowing like a manta ray the Dodgers made a double play
My dance moves are sub subliminal

Let's make a wish as we enter the lift
'Cause the system's a relative bore
The drummer is leaning without any meaning
Outside of the Club Troubadour
I don't know you
And I don't know what's true anymore
Listen to my one request
I don't know you
And I don't know what's true anymore

Bag of Grins

In my day I could hear them say
Mr. K was awfully close
Now we take that bow you know
'Cause it's time to meet your ghost
And I don't understand

Minotaurs and jaguars
Are at my finger's tip
Falling up through the mustard gates
And I think I broke my hip
And I don't understand
I do not understand

Nine o'clock I turn my heels and sigh
For one last time
Ten-thirty I tied my chi
And died up on the vine

Send me out to the pasture, love
With a closet full of whips
The coroner spins with his bag of grins
As he's sewing up my lips
And I don't understand

Nine o'clock I turn my heels and sigh
For one last time
Ten-thirty I tied my chi
And died up on the vine
I died up on the vine

Suddenly when the moment comes
And it's harmony or rage
Flowers cry on the corpse of love
And it's time to turn your page

Mr. and Mrs. Au Contraire
I think they'll soon arrive
All the treasures you have saved
Your children now divide
And I don't understand
I do not understand

Nine o'clock I turn my heels and

Suddenly when the moment comes
And it's harmony or rage
Flowers cry on the corpse of love
And it's time to turn your page

I am somewhere else, my love
And I think you'll know just where to find me
Out in an interstellar place
And there's nothing left here to define me
You are somewhere else, good love
And this life of crime that's all behind me
We are all just space and love
And I think you'll know that's who designed me, yeah
I am somewhere else, my love
And I think you'll know just where to find me
Out in an interstellar place
And there's nothing left here to define me
You are somewhere else, good love
And this life of crime is all behind me
We are all just space and love
And I think you'll know that's who designed
Me

La La La La La La La La

I wanna spend my life with you
Mess around with things to do
We could start a family feud
Laugh so hard they'll think we're rude
I'll f*ck up and get so mad
Act just like my broken dad
Chris Columbus solitaire
Whistle when you want me there

Give me your honey
Well, I won't spend it in one place
Bended knee to get a taste

I wanna spin my wheels with you
Win and lose some deals with you
Tell me how it feels for you
To order happy meals for two
And when it all seems out of reach
We'll clean up plastic off the beach
Your figure is a perfect speech
You'll be Chong and I'll be Cheech

Give me your honey
Well, I won't spend it in one place
Bended knee to get a taste

La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la
Pull back the curtain
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la
You are that person

Indonesia, that's my groove
It doesn't matter where we move
I lost you at the Vegas Louvre
But we don't need no rings to prove
Crippled by some looping fears
The ripples of a lost career
Phone call from a financier
And no one lives like Norman Lear

Give me your honey
Well, I won't spend it in one place
Bended knee to get a taste

La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la
Pull back the curtain
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la
You are that person

I wanna spend my life with you
Stare at space before it's through
Every day's the same but new
Even when it's old that's cool

Copperbelly

Anyone can see it clearly, you're made for this kingdom
Dancing on the cold roof while your lemon tree cries
Anyone can see dearly that you've got to bring them up
Never make another bed where your enemy lies

Tread not away from your heart
Sweat not right from the start

Copperbelly hiding out there in every mirror
Copperbelly try to fill you with meaningless fear

Someone's in love with emotional pain
Keys to this kingdom that come with your name
I don't wanna go, she don't wanna know
They don't wanna so, so, so, so
Easy to need when it all reads the same

Copperbelly wanna tell you there's nobody out there
Take it on the chin as you look for the win
Copperbelly wanna tell you that you better not dare
Copperbelly wanna sell you a tub full of gin

We all
Suffer our losses
We all
Know the bad breaks

Sleeping on the sled of this old western decline
Living in your head, taking way too much time

Someone's in love with emotional pain
Keys to this kingdom that come with your name
I don't wanna go, she don't wanna know
They don't wanna go, so, so, so
Easy to need when it all reads the same

Clockwork is orange and built for compression
Stumbling upstairs, am I somebody who?
Start work is free and so full of impressions
Abstraction face and I look just like you

Take me by my warm hand and I'll be there
I'll be in your evening chair

---

Carry Me Home

Celluloid soldiers, come in from the rain
Murder my smile, but please leave me my pain
All those good people, they don't even try
Stealing the truth while they pay for your lie

I'm about to lose the things I never saw
Before you wanted me to know the ups and downs
Away we go to get another hit, the it
The blood that she's about to spit

You go your way and I guess I'll go mine
We'll both arrive at the very same time

Please give me your tired
Give me your poor
Please lift up your lamp
Walk through this door

Kick down the doors that you don't understand
Please don't lose sight of this generous plan
Blinded by prisms, we wind up in court
I'm folding chairs while you sold yourself short

She's about to redefine the way
Reminded me to say the other way was right
She's in a place to pray for me
And now she gotta, gotta flash the funky lighter

You've got your way and it seems I've got mine
Both gonna die at the very same time

Marry me, mama
That's someone to carry me home
Stick with me, girlfriend
I don't wanna be here alone
Marry me, mama
That's someone to carry me home
Stick with me, girlfriend
I don't wanna be here alone

In the Snow

My mates have all gone married now
Off living in a kindred cloud
Not that kind
They're cuddled up with kitten's bone
Puddle in their beds at home
I still can't find

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 wanna come with me?
Do you wanna come?
And I'll take my time
And I'll move it closer now

I check my stupid phone again
No matter that it's 4 AM
It burns my eyes
Spotlights born to shine at night
Come what may, it always might
Burn so bright

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 wanna come with me?
Do you wanna come?
And I'll take my time
And I'll move it closer now

Slow rodeo
Roll over, roll over
Slow rodeo
In the snow
Slow rodeo
Hold over, roll over
Slow rodeo
In the snow

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'

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

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 wanna come with me?
Do you wanna come?
And I'll take my time
And I'll move it closer now

Slow rodeo
Roll over, roll over
Slow rodeo
In the snow
Slow rodeo
Hold over, roll over

Of a humbling Colombian
Two socks and a tumble in her slumber skin
The summer wind, we crumble some
The rock and rumble of a tumbling bubblegum
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

The Shape I'm Takin

You wanna beat it, but you're never gonna leave this town
In the jungle with a fever comes immediate crown
I'm alone with all my friends, fireworks in a pussy den
Shakin' up that new West End, don't get too close, my style bends
I'ma do my thing this time, Hudson River serpentine
Everything we overheard, pizza's free on thirty-third and third, third, third

Don't you love me, baby? The shape I'm takin'
At the Latin quarter, trouble funk is on the floor, oh, my children
Don't you love me, baby? The shape I'm takin'
Jungle at the disco, jungle's what they came here for

The beat is tricky, but you're never gonna move it around
You're dressin' up when you really should be dressin' down
Gettin' on my one last nerve, ring my bell on Dead Man's Curve
Pick it up, Jamaica, Queens, that super walk is so obscene
Gonna do your thing this time, East Side River, box of wine
Throw it up, it's time to serve, pizza's free on thirty-third and third, third, third

Don't you love me, baby? The shape I'm takin'
At the Latin quarter, trouble funk is on the floor, oh, my children
Don't you love me, baby? The shape I'm takin'
Jungle at the disco, jungle's what they came here for

You wanna beat it, but you're never gonna leave this town
You're dressin' up, you really should be dressin' down
In the jungle, fever comes immediate crown

Don't you love me, baby? The shape I'm takin'
At the Latin quarter, trouble funk is on the floor, oh, my children
Don't you love me, baby? The shape I'm takin'
Jungle at the disco, jungle's what they came here for

Whatchu Thinkin' (Live in Paris)

I got no reason to believe
Just a theory that we do appease
I don't know what you want from me
Where you go to get your ecstasy
Start tapping rhythm from the source
Maybe I could be your Crazy Horse
We only wanted to be
We only wanted to be sure
What is it for?
Come get me
We only wanted to be
We only wanted to be

What you thinkin'?
Got more than enough for you, yeah
Over and over and over again, well
Over and over until it sends
What you thinkin'?
White buffalo be drinkin' dirty
Over and over and over again, well
Over and over with all my friends

I think the two of us should go
For a drive, like maybe Idaho
Road trip circuits just around the bend
I could be your beneficial friend
Call me every name in the book
Punk-ass fascist and a dirty crook
We only wanted to be
We only wanted to be sure
What is it for?
Come get me
We only wanted to be
We only wanted to be

What you thinkin'?
Got more than enough for you, yeah
Over and over and over again, yeah
Over and over until it sends
What you thinkin'?
White buffalo be drinkin' dirty
Over and over and over again now
Over and over with all my friends

I got these things in mind, you know
South Dakota, show the buffalo
In the Black Hills you could find it all
Blood runs thick like from a waterfall
This broken native entity
Dreaming clean-up on the century
This horse is crazy not to be
This horse is crazy

What you thinkin'?
Got more than enough for you, well
Over and over and over again, yeah
Over and over until it sends
What you thinkin'?
White buffalo be drinkin' dirty
Over and over and over again now
Over and over with all my friends
