Red Hot Chilli Peppers Lyrics

Under The Bridge

 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 that 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

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...

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
