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

Otherside

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


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


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


How long I don`t believe it`s bad
Slit my throat
It`s all I ever

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]

By the way

Standing in Line To see the show tonight
and there's a light on
heavy glow
By the way I tried to say
I'd be there ... waiting for
Dani the girl
is singing songs to me
beneath the marquee ... overload

Steak knife ... card sharp
Con Job ... Boot Cut

Skin that flick

She's just a littlke DJ
Get there quick
by street but not the freeway
Turn that trick
To make a little leeway
Beat that nic
But not the way that we play

Dog Town ... Blood Bath
Rib Cage ... Soft Tail

-First half chorus-

Black Jack ... Dope dick
Pawn Shop ... Quick Pick

Kiss that dyke
I know you want to hold one
Not on strike
But I'm about to bowl one
Bite that mic
I know younever stole one
Girls that like
a story so I told one

Song bird ... Main line
Cash back ... Hard Top

Long Chorus ~~ Chant ~~ Long Chorus

Cant stop

Can't stop addicted to the shin dig
cop top he says I'm gonna win big
choose not a life of immitation
Distant cousin to the reservation
defunkt the pistol that you pay for
this punk the feeling that you stay for
in time I want to be your best friend
eastside love is living on the westend
Knock out but boy you better come to
don't die you know the truth is some do
go write your message on the pavement
burining so bright I wonder what the wave meant
White heat is screaming in the jungle
Complete the motion if you stumble
go ask the dust for any answers
Come back strong with 50 belly dancers

The world I love
the tears I drop
to be part of
the wave can't stop
ever wonder if it's all for you
the world I love
the trains I hop
to be part of
the wave can't stop
come on tell me when it's time to

Kick star the golden generator
seet talk but don't intimidate her
can't stop the Gods from engineering
feel no need for any interfering
your image in the dictionary
this life is more than ordinary
can I get 2 maybe even 3 of these
come from space
80 teach you of the pliedes
can't stop the spirits when they need you
this life is more than just a read thru

Sweetheart is bleeding in the snowcone
so smart she's leading me to ozone
,usic the great communicator
use two sticks to make it in the nature
I'll get you into penetration
the gender of a generation
the birth of every other nation
worth your weight the gold of meditation
This chapter's going to be a close one
smoke rings I know you're going to blow one
all on a spaceship persevering
use my hands for everything but steering
Can't stop the spirits when they need you
,op tops are happy when they feed you
J. butterfly is in the treetop
birds that blow the meaning into bebop

Fortune Faded

They say in chess, you gotta kill the queen
And then you mate it
Oh I, do you?
A funny thing, the king who gets himself assassinated
Hey now, every time i lose
Altitude

You took a town by storm
The mess you made was nominated
Oh I, do you?
Now put away your welcome, soon you'll find you've overstayed it
Hey now, every time I lose
Altitude

CHORUS:
So divine, hell of an elevator
All the while my fortune faded
Nevermind the consequences of the crime this time
My fortune faded

The medicated state of mind you find is overrated
Oh I, do you?
You saw it all come down and now it's time to imitate it
Hey now, every time I lose altitude

CHORUS

(Instrumental Bridge)

Come on God, do I seem bulletproof?
Ooooooooooh
