01. Around The World

All around the world

We could make time

Rompin' and a stompin'

'Cause I'm in my prime

Born in the north

And sworn to entertain ya

'Cause I'm down for

The state of Pennsylvania

 

I try not to whine

But I must warn ya

'Bout the girls

From California

 

Alabama baby

Said hallelujah

Good god girl

I wish I knew ya

 

I know I know for sure

That life is beautiful around the world

I know I know it's you

You say hello and then I say I do

 

Come back baby

'Cause I'd like to say

I've been around the world

Back from Bombay

 

Fox hole love

Pie in your face

Living in and out

Of a big fat suitcase

 

Bonafide ride

Step aside my Johnson

Yes I could

In the woods of Wisconsin

 

Wake up the cake

It's a lake she's kissin' me

As they do when

When they do in Sicily

 

I know I know for sure

That life is beautiful around the world

I know I know it's you

You say hello and then I say I do

 

Where you want to go

Who you want to be

What you want to do

Just come with me

 

I saw God

And I saw the fountains

You and me girl

Sittin' in the Swiss mountains

 

Me Oh My O

Me and Guy O

Freer than a bird

'Cause we're rockin' Ohio

 

Around the world

I feel dutiful

Take a wife

'Cause life is beautiful

 

I know I know for sure

I know I know it's you

 

Mother Russia do not suffer

I know you're bold enough

I've been around the world

And I have seen your love

I know I know it's you

 

You say hello then I say I do

 


 

02. Parallel Universe

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

 

Chorus

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 your never dead spider web

Take a look at the stars in

Your head fields of space kid

 

Chorus

 

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

 

Chorus

 


 

03. Scar Tissue

Scar tissue that I wish you saw

Sarcastic mister know it all

Close your eyes and I'll kiss you 'cause

With the birds I'll share

With the birds I'll share

This lonely view

With the birds I'll share

This lonely view

Push me up against the wall

Young Kentucky girl in a push-up bra

Fallin' all over myself

To lick your heart and taste your health 'cause

With the birds I'll share

This lonely view...

 

Blood loss in a bathroom stall

Southern girl with a scarlet drawl

Wave good-bye to ma and pa 'cause

With the birds I'll share

With the birds I'll share

This lonely view

With the birds I'll share

This lonely view

 

Soft spoken with a broken jaw

Step outside but not to brawl

Autumn's sweet we call it fall

I'll make it to the moon if I have to crawl and

With the birds I'll share

This lonely view...

 

Scar tissue that I wish you saw

Sarcastic mister know it all

Close your eyes and I'll kiss you 'cause

With the birds I'll share

With the birds I'll share

This lonely view

With the birds I'll share

This lonely view...

 


 

04. Otherside

Chorus

How long how long will I slide

Separate my side I don't

I don't believe it's bad

Slit my throat

It's all I ever

I heard your voice through a photograph

I thought it up it 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 marry 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

 

Chorus

 

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

Scarlet starlet and she's in my bed

A candidate for my 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

 

Chorus

 

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

And then it's born again

 

Chorus

 

How long I don't believe it's bad

Slit my throat

It's all I ever

 


 

05. Get on Top

Get on Top Get on Top

Hit me come get me I bite but she bit me

 

Go-rilla cunt-illa

Sammy D and Salmonella

Come with me 'cause I'm an ass killer

You're ill but I'm iller

 

I'll malinger on your block and

Give the finger to a cop and

Pick a lock before I knock and

Set you up to get on top

 

Chorus

Complications of a mastermind

Last temptation of my kind

Extra planetary sign

When do we align

All in time

Right on

 

Get up come sit up I light but she lit up

 

Grass Hopper Show Stopper

The life of a Wife Swapper

Come with me 'cause I'm a big bopper

You do but I wopper

 

Exterminate my cause

You want to draw some straws

Be the one to see my flaws

Make me bleed with painted claws

 

Chorus

 

Get on Top Get on Top

 

Hit me come get me I bite but she bit me

 

Speed Baller Rhodes Scholar

Bottom Bitch And a Bottom Dollar

Come with me 'cause I'm a Free Faller

You hoot but I holler

 

I'll malinger on your block

Give the finger to a cop and

Pick a lock before I knock on

Set you up to get on top

 

Get on Top

 


 

06. Californication

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

 

Chorus

First born unicorn

Hard core soft porn

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

Cobain can you hear the spheres

Singing songs off station to station

And Alderon'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

 

Chorus

 

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

 

Chorus

 


 

07. Easily

Easily let's get carried away

Easily let's get married today

Shao Lin shouted a rose

From his throat

Everything must go

A lickin' stick is thicker

When you break it to show

Everything must go

The story of a woman on the morning of a war

Remind me if you will exactly what we're fighting for

 

Calling calling for something in the air

Calling calling I know you must be there

 

Easily let's get caught in a wave

Easily we won't get caught in a cage

Shao Lin shakin' for the sake

Of his soul - Everything must go

Lookin' mighty tired of

All the things that you own

Everything must go

 

I can't tell you who to idolize

You think it's almost over

But it's only on the rise

Calling calling

For something in the air

Calling calling I know you must be there

 

The story of a woman on the morning of a war

Remind me if you will exactly what we're fighting for

 

Throw me to the wolves because

Because there's order in the pack

Throw me to the sky

Because I know I'm coming back

 

Shao Lin shakin' for the sake

Of his soul - Everything must go

Lookin' mighty tired of

All the things that you own

Everything must go

 

The story of a woman on the morning of a war

Remind me if you will exactly what we're fighting for

 

Calling calling for something in the air

Calling calling I know you must be there

 

I don't want to be your little research monkey boy

The creature that I am is only going to destroy

 

Throw me to the wolves

Because there's order in the pack

Throw me to the sky

Because I know I'm coming back

 

Easily

 


 

08. Porcelain

Porcelain

Are you wasting away in your skin

Are you missing the love of your kin

Drifting and floating and fading away

Porcelain

Do you smell like a girl when you smile

Can you bear not to share with your child

Drifting and floating and fading away v

Little lune

All day

Little lune

 

Porcelain

Do you carry the moon in your womb

Someone said that you're fading too soon

Drifting and floating and fading away

 

Porcelain

Are you wasting away in your skin

Are you missing the love of your kin

Nodding and melting and fading away

 

Little lune

All day

Little lune...

 


 

09. Emit Remmus

The California animal is a bear

Angeleno but the devil may care

Summer time to talk and swear

Later maybe we could share some air

I'll take you to the movies there

We could walk through Leicester Square

What could be wetter than

An English girl American man

Chorus:

London in the summer time

Call me now use the satellite

London in the summer time

Cuss me out and it'll feel all right

 

Hesitate but don't refuse

The choice was yours but you said choose

The look she used was green and sharp

Stabbed that boy all in his heart

Come what may the cosmos will

Take me up and down on Primrose Hill

What could be wetter than

An English girl American man

 

Chorus

 

Cuss me out and it'll feel all right

It's all right now

Call me now use the satellite

It's all right

It's all right

 

Down and out and it'll sound all right

It's all right now

It's all right

 

The California flower is poppy child

Felony sends me all the gold in your smile

Drift away from anyone you can

Nothing ever goes according to plan

Though I know that every river bends

Time to say hello to snow on the Thames

What could be wetter than

An English girl American man

 

Chorus

 


 

10. I like dirt

Some come up and some come young

Live to love and give good tongue

Sit down get down in the sun

Rocket to the woman is on the one

Chorus:

I like dirt

I like dirt

I like dirt

I like dirt

 

The earth is made of dirt and wood

And I'd be water if I could

Live in a dream

In your stream

Live in a dream

 

Some come up and some come young

Live to love and give good tongue

Sit down get down in the sun

Rocket to the woman is on the one

 

Chorus

 

Some come slow and overload

Must roll over when you're told

Let's unzip and let's unfold

A letter to the pet better get it to go

 

Chorus

 

Space is made of everything

And I'd be fire that I bring

Live in a dream

In your spring

Live in a dream

 

Some come slow and overload

Must roll over when you're told

Let's unzip and let's unfold

A letter to the pet better get it to go

 

Chorus

 

Some come up and some come young

Live to love and give good tongue

Sit down get down in the sun

Rocket to the woman is on the one

 

Chorus

 

Some come up and some come young

Live to love and give good tongue

Sit down get down in the sun

Rocket to the woman is on the one

 


 

11. This Velvet Glove

Close to my skin

I'm falling in

Someone who's been

Sittin' by the phone

I'm left alone

In another zone

 

John says to live above hell

My will is well

 

No one is waiting

For me to fail

My will could sail yeah

 

It's such a waste to be wasted

In the first place

I want to taste the taste of

Being face to face with common grace

To meditate on the warmest dream

And when I walk alone I listen

To our secret theme

 

Your solar eyes are like

Nothing I have ever seen

Somebody close

That can see right through

I'd take a fall and you know

That I'd do anything

I will for you

 

Sailin' for the sun

'Cause There is one

Knows where I'm from

 

I care for you

I really do I really do

 

Come closer now

So you can lie

Right by my side

 

Sit alone in the sun

I wrote a letter to you

Getting over myself

 

Your solar eyes are like

Nothing I have ever seen

Somebody close

That can see right through

I'd take a fall and you know

That I'd do anything

I will for you

 

Your solar eyes are like

Nothing I have ever seen

Somebody close

That was made for you

I'd take a fall and you know

That I'd do anything

I will for you

 

Close to my skin

Someone who's been

I'm a falling in

 

Disasters are

Just another star

Falling in my yard

 

John says to live above hell

My will is well

 

Long to be with

Someone to tell

I love your smell

 


 

12. Savior

Dusting off your savior

You were always my favorite

Always my man - All in a hand

To celebrate you is greater

Now that I can - Always my man

 

Now you see what I came for

No one here is to blame for

Misunderstand - All in a hand

 

Just like you 'cause you made me

All that I am - All in a hand

 

A butterfly that flaps its wings

Affecting almost everything

The more I hear the orchestra

The more I have something to bring

And now I see you in a beautiful

And different light

He's just a man and any damage done

Will be all right

Call out my name

Call and I came

 

Dusting off your savior

Forgiving any behavior

He's just a man - All in a hand

 

Your hero's destined to waver

Anyone can - Always my man

 

I would never betray you

Look at me who could raise you

Face in the sand - Safe in your hand

 

You were always my favorite

Always my man - All in a hand

 

We are the red hots and

We're loving up the love me nots

The flowers in your flower pots

Are dancing on the table tops

And now I see you in a beautiful

And different light

He's just a man and everything he does

Will be all right

Call out my name

Call and I came

 

Dusting off your savior

The life that you have narrated

You were my man

 


 

13. Purple Stain

To finger paint is not a sin

I put my middle finger in

Your monthly blood is what I win

I'm in your house now let me spin

Python power straight from Monty

Celluloid loves got a John Frusciante

Spread your head and spread the blanket

She's too free and I'm the patient

 

Black and white a red and blue

Things that look good on you

And if I scream don't let me go

A purple stain - I know

 

Knock on wood we all stay good

'Cause we all live in Hollywood

With Dracula and Darla Hood

Unspoken words were understood

 

Up to my ass in alligators

Let's get it on with the alligator haters

Did what you did - did what you said

What's the point yo what's the spread

 

Black and white a red and blue

Things that look good on you

And if I scream don't let me go

A purple stain - I know

And if I call for you to stay

Come hit the funk on your way

It's way out there but I don't care

'Cause this is where - I go

 

Knock on wood we all stay good

'Cause we all live in Hollywood

With Dracula and Darla Hood

Unspoken words were understood

 

It's way out there

But I don't care

'Cause this is what

I want to wear

 

Knock on wood we all stay good

'Cause we all live in Hollywood

 

To finger paint is not a sin

I put my middle finger in

Your monthly blood is what I win

I'm in your house now let me spin

 

Feather light but you can't move this

Farley is an angel and I can prove this

Purple is a stain upon my pillow

Let's Sleep weeping willow

 

Black and white a red and blue

Things that look good on you

And if I scream don't let me go

A purple stain - I know

And if I call for you to stay

Come hit the funk on your way

It's way out there but I don't care

'Cause this is where - I go

 

Knock on wood we all stay good

'Cause we all live in Hollywood

With Dracula and Darla Hood

Unspoken words were understood

 

It's way out there

But I don't care

'Cause this is what

I want to wear

 

Knock on wood we all stay good

'Cause we all live in Hollywood

 


 

14. Right on Time

One shot all I need

I've got rhythm when I bleed

'Til death do us part

Break my heart so I can start

 

Supercalifragilistic

Kiss me in the futuristic

Twisted but I must insist

It's time to get on top of this

 

Chorus:

It's right on time

It's right on time

It's right on time

It's right on time it's right on time it's right on time it's right on time

Lookin' fine you're lookin' fine get on 1999

It's right on time

 

Discard to bombard

Calling all you shooting stars

 

Holy cow bow wow wow

Now I'm here I'm nowhere now

 

Joan of Arc reincarnated

Maybe we could be related

So much blood to circulate

And so much space to decorate

Chorus

Plain and simple pain

I want to but I can't complain

 

Death row let us go

It's time to blow up for the show

 

All the world reverberated

Coming through we motorcaded

Vibrate when we operated

Turning up in solid stated

 

Oh Lord

 


 

15. Road Trippin’

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

 

Chorus:

Blue you sit so pretty

West of the one

Sparkles 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

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

 

Chorus

 

These smiling eyes are just a mirror for

These smiling eyes are just a mirror for

Your smiling eyes are just a mirror for
