Sometimes I feel
Like I don't have a partner
Sometimes I feel
Like my only friend
Is the city I live in
The city of angels
Lonely as I am
Together we cry

I drive on her streets
cause she's my companion
I walk through her hills
cause she knows who I am
She sees my good deeds
And she kisses me windy
I never worry
Now that is a lie

I don't ever want to feel
Like I did that day
Take me to the place I love
Take me all the way

It's hard to believe
That there's nobody out there
It's hard to believe
That I'm all alone
At least I have her love
The city she loves me
Lonely as I am
Together we cry

I don't ever want to feel
Like I did that day
Take me to the place I love
Take me all the way

Under the bridge downtown
Is where I drew some blood
Under the bridge downtown
I could not get enough
Under the bridge downtown
Forgot about my love
Under the bridge downtown
I gave my life away

What I've got you've got to give it to your mamma
What I've got you've got to give it to your papa
What I've got you've got to give it to your daughter
You do a little dance and then you drink a little water

What I've got you've got to get it put it in you
What I've got you've got to get it put it in you
What I've got you've got to get it put it in you
Reeling with the feeling don't stop continue

I realize I don't want to be a miser
Confide wisely you'll be the wiser
Young blood is the lovin' upriser
How come everybody wanna keep it like the kaiser

Give it away, give it away, give it away now
Give it away, give it away, give it away now
Give it away, give it away, give it away now
I can't tell if I'm a kingpin or a pauper

Greedy little people in a sea of distress
Keep your more to receive your less
Unimpressed by material excess
Love is free love me say hell yes

Low brow but I rock a little know how
No time for the piggies or the hoosegow
Get smart get down with the pow wow
Never been a better time than right now

Bob Marley poet and a prophet
Bob Marley taught me how to off it
Bob Marley walkin' like he talk it
Goodness me can't you see I'm gonna cough it

Give it away, give it away, give it away now
Give it away, give it away, give it away now
Give it away, give it away, give it away now
Give it away, give it away, give it away now
Give it away, give it away, give it away now
Give it away, give it away, give it away now
I can't tell if I'm a king pin or a pauper

Lucky me swimmin' in my ability
Dancin' down on life with agility
Come and drink it up from my fertility
Blessed with a bucket of lucky mobility

My mom I love her 'cause she love me
Long gone are the times when she scrub me
Feelin' good my brother gonna hug me
Drink up my juice young love chug-a-lug me

There's a river born to be a giver
Keep you warm won't let you shiver
His heart is never gonna wither
Come on everybody time to deliver

Give it away, give it away, give it away now
Give it away, give it away, give it away now
Give it away, give it away, give it away now
I can't tell iff I'm a king pin or a pauper

What I've got you've got to give it to your mamma
What I've got you've got to give it to your papa
What I've got you've got to give it to your daughter
You do a little dance and then you drink a little water

What I've got you've got to get it put it in you
What I've got you've got to get it put it in you
What I've got you've got to get it put it in you
Reeling with the feeling don't stop continue

I realize I don't want to be a miser
Confide wisely you'll be the wiser
Young blood is the lovin' upriser
How come everybody wanna keep it like the kaiser

Give it away, give it away, give it away now

Psychic spies from China
Try to steal your mind's elation
Little girls from Sweden
Dream of silver screen quotations
And if you want these kind of dreams
It's Californication

It's the edge of the world
And all of western civilization
The sun may rise in the East
At least it settles in the final location
It's understood that Hollywood
Sells Californication

Pay your surgeon very well
To break the spell of aging
Celebrity skin is this your chin
Or is that war your waging

First born unicorn
Hard core soft porn
Dream of Californication
Dream of Californication
Dream of Californication
Dream of Californication

Marry me girl be my fairy to the world
Be my very own constellation
A teenage bride with a baby inside
Getting high on information
And buy me a star on the boulevard
It's Californication

Space may be the final frontier
But it's made in a Hollywood basement
And Cobain can you hear the spheres
Singing songs off station to station
And Alderaan's not far away
It's Californication

Born and raised by those who praise
Control of population everybody's been there and
I don't mean on vacation

First born unicorn
Hard core soft porn
Dream of Californication
Dream of Californication
Dream of Californication
Dream of Californication

Destruction leads to a very rough road
But it also breeds creation
And earthquakes are to a girl's guitar
They're just another good vibration
And tidal waves couldn't save the world
From Californication

Pay your surgeon very well
To break the spell of aging
Sicker than the rest
There is no test
But this is what you're craving

First born unicorn
Hard core soft porn
Dream of Californication
Dream of Californication
Dream of Californication

I've got a bad disease
But from my brain is where I bleed
Insanity it seems
Has got me by my soul to squeeze

Well all the love from thee
With all the dying trees I scream
The angels in my dreams (yeah)
Have turned to demons of greed that's mean

Where I go I just don't know
I got to got to gotta take it slow
When I find my peace of mind
I'm gonna give you some of my good time

Today love smiled on me
It took away my face, say please
I'll let your ride be free
You gotta let it be oh yeah

Where I go I just don't know
I got to gotta gotta take it slow
When I find my peace of mind
I'm gonna give you some of my good time

Oh so polite indeed
Well I've got everything I need
Oh make my days a breeze
And take away my self-destruction

It's bitter baby and its very sweet
I'm on a roller coaster
But I'm on my feet
Take me to the river lay me on your shore
I'll be comin' back baby
I'll be comin' back for more

Doo doo doo doo dingle zing a dong bone
Ba-di ba-da ba-soma coma con gone bad

Like an apple kiss
But I will not endeavor
Simple pleasures aren't much better
But I won't regret it never

Where I go I just don't know
I got to got to gotta take it slow
When I find my peace of mind
I'm gonna give you some of my good time

Where I go I just don't know
I might end up somewhere in Mexico
When I find my peace of mind
I'm gonna keep it for the end of time

How long how long will I slide
Separate my side
I don't
I don't believe it's fair
Slittin' my throat
It's all I ever

I heard your voice through a photograph
I thought it up and brought up the past
Once you know you can never go back
I've got to take it on the otherside

Centuries are what it meant to me
A cemetery where I married the sea
Stranger things could never change my mind
I've got to take it on the otherside
Take it on the otherside
Take it on
Take it on

How long how long will I slide
Separate my side
I don't
I don't believe it's fair
Slittin' my throat
It's all I ever

Pour my life into a paper cup
The ashtray's full and I'm spillin' my guts
She wants to know am I still a slut
I've got to take it on the otherside

A scarlet starlet and she's in my bed
A candidate for a soul mate bled
Push the trigger and pull the thread
I've got to take it on the otherside
Take it on the otherside
Take it on
Take it on

How long how long will I slide
Separate my side
I don't
I don't believe it's fair
Slittin' my throat
It's all I ever

Turn me on, take me for a hard ride
Burn me out leave me on the otherside
I yell and tell it that
It's not my friend
I tear it down I tear it down
But then it's born again

How long how long will I slide
Separate my side
I don't
I don't believe it's fair
Slittin' my throat
It's all I ever
How long... how long
I don't
I don't believe it's fair
Slittin' my throat
It's all I ever

Deep inside of a parallel
Universe
It's getting harder and harder
To tell what came first

Under water where thoughts can breathe
Easily
Far away you were made in a sea
Just like me

Christ I'm a sidewinder, I'm a
California king
I swear it's everywhere
It's everything

Staring straight up into the sky
Oh my my
A solar system that fits in your eye
Microcosm

You could die but you're never dead
Spider web
Take a look at the stars in your head
Fields of space kid

Christ I'm a sidewinder, I'm a
California king
I swear it's everywhere
It's everything

Christ I'm a sidewinder, I'm a
California king
I swear it's everywhere
It's everything

Psychic changes are born in your heart
Entertain
A nervous breakthrough that makes us the same
Bless your heart, girl

Kill the pressure it's raining on
Salty Cheeks
When you hear the beloved song
I am with you

Christ I'm a sidewinder, I'm a
California king
I swear it's everywhere
It's everything

Christ I'm a sidewinder, I'm a
California king
I swear it's everywhere
It's everything

I am a man
Cut from the know
Rarely do friends
Come and then go
She was a girl
Soft but estranged
We were the two
Our lives rearranged
Feeling so good that day
A feeling of love that day

Twisting and turning
Your feelings are burning
You're breaking the girl
She meant you no harm
Think you're so clever
But now you must sever
You're breaking the girl
He loves no one else

Raised by my dad
Girl of the day
He was my man
That was the way
She was the girl
Left alone
Feeling the need
To make me her home
I don't know what when or why
The twilight of love had arrived

Twisting and turning
Your feelings are burning
You're breaking the girl
She meant you no harm
Think you're so clever
But now you must sever
You're breaking the girl
He loves no one else

Twisting and turning
Your feelings are burning
You're breaking the girl
She meant you no harm
Think you're so clever
But now you must sever
You're breaking the girl

And Stevie knows that, uh, nobody's gonna bring me down
Till I reach the highest ground.
'Cause me 'n' Stevie, see, we're gonna be a sailin' on the funky funky sound
Till I reach the highest ground.
Bustin' out, and I'll break you out, 'cause I'm sailin' on
Till I reach the highest ground
Just, uh, sailin' on, sailin' on the higher ground
Till I reach the highest ground

I saw your face
Elegant and tired
Cut up from the chase
Still I so admired

Bloodshot your smile
Delicate and wild
Give me she-wolf style
Rip right through me

Silvretta, the jets of a lifetime
Go and get her I've got her on my mind
Nothing better the feeling is so fine
Simply put I saw your love stream flow

Come on baby cause there's no name for
Give it up and I got what I came for
Universally speaking

Dying to get high
Two of a kind
Beats all hands tonight

Road trippin' with my two favorite allies
Fully loaded we got snacks and supplies
It's time to leave this town, it's time to steal away
Let's go get lost anywhere in the U.S.A.
Let's go get lost, let's go get lost...

Blue you sit so pretty west of the one
Sparkle light with yellow icing just a mirror for the sun
Just a mirror for the sun
Just a mirror for the sun
These smiling eyes are just a mirror for...

So much as come before those battles lost and won
This life is shining more forever in the sun
Now let us check our heads and let us check the surf
Staying high and dry's more trouble than it's worth in the sun

Just a mirror for the sun
Just a mirror for the sun
These Smiling eyes are just a mirror for...

In Big Sur we take some time to linger on
We three hunky dory's got our snakefinger on
Now let us drink the stars, it's time to steal away
Let's go get lost right here in the U.S.A.
Let's go get lost, let's go get lost...

Blue you sit so pretty west of the one
Sparkle light with yellow icing just a mirror for the sun

Just a mirror for the sun
Just a mirror for the sun
These smiling eyes are just a mirror for...
These smiling eyes are just a mirror for...
Your smiling eyes are just a mirror for...

They say in chess you've got to kill the queen and then you made it
Oh why - do you?

A funny thing the king who gets himself assasinated
Hey now, every time I lose - altitude

You took a town by storm the mess you made was nominated
Oh why - Do you?

Now put away your welcome, soon you'll find you've over stayed it
Hey now, every time I lose - altitude

So divine, hell of an elevator, all the while my fortune faded
Never Mind, the consequences of the crime this time my fortune's faded

The medicated state of mind you've found is over rated
Oh why - Do you?

You saw it all come down and now its time to imitate it
Hey now, every time I lose - altitude

So divine, hell of an elevator, all the while my fortune faded
Never Mind, the consequences of the crime this time my fortune's faded

Come on god, do I seem bullet proof...

So divine, hell of an elevator, all the while my fortune faded
Never Mind, the consequences of the crime this time's my fortune's faded

So divine, hell of an elevator, all the while my fortune faded
Never Mind, the consequences of the crime this time's my fortune's faded

History's so strong
History's so strong
History's so strong
History's so strong

Sing another drinking song
The honky-tonk will do
Make another breaking bong
Your favorite ingenue

This, the distant dawn
This, the distant dawn

I put my cards upon the table
I do to speak as I am able
One pixie's broken-down devotion
I threw my pistol in the ocean

Eyes wide with revelation
Shine at the police station
And when the burden comes 'round
I'm sure that you will go down

Stay all night, we save the population
Stay all night, we save the population
Stay all night, we save the population
Stay all night, we save the population

This, the land; its pawn
Sailing through the Lexicon
A pistol, and it's hot
Blood and border lines withdrawn

Take another bottle down the block
To land the shrew
Make another awful sound
To ride the gothic through

History's so strong
History's so strong

I put my cards upon the table
I do to speak as I am able
One pixie's broken-down devotion
I threw my pistol in the ocean

Eyes wide with revelation
Shine at the police station
And when the burden comes 'round
I'm sure that you will go down

Stay all night, we save the population
Stay all night, we save the population
Stay all night, we save the population
Stay all night, we save the population
Stay all night, we save the population
Stay all night, we save the population
Stay all night, we save the population
Stay all night, we save the population
