I want to tell you My head is filled with things to say When you're here All those words, they seem to slip away
When I get near you, The games begin to drag me down It's all right I'll make you maybe next time around
But if I seem to act unkind It's only me, it's not my mind That is confusing things.
I want to tell you I feel hung up but I don't know why, I don't mind I could wait forever, I've got time
Sometimes I wish I knew you well, Then I could speak my mind and tell you Maybe you'd understand
I want to tell you. I feel hung up but I don't know why, I don't mind. I could wait forever, I've got time, I've got time, I've got time.
We are the crowd, we're c-comin' out Got my flash on, it's true Need that picture of you It so magical, we'd be so fantastical
Leather and jeans, garage glamorous Not sure what it means But this photo of us it don't have a price Ready for those flashing light 'Cause you know that baby, I
[CHORUS:]I'm your biggest fan, I'll follow you until you love me Papa, paparazzi Baby, there's no other superstar, you know that I'll be Your papa, paparazzi. Promise I'll be kind But I won't stop until that boy is mine Baby, you'll be famous, chase you down until you love me Papa, paparazzi
I'll be your girl backstage at your show Velvet ropes and guitars Yeah, cause you're my rock star in between the sets Eyeliner and cigarettes
Shadow is burnt, yellow dance and we turn My lashes are dry, purple teardrops I cry It don't have a price, loving you is cherry pie Cause you know that baby, I
[CHORUS]
Real good, we dance in the studio Snap, snap to that shit on the radio Don't stop for anyone We're plastic but we still have fun
[CHORUS]
I saw her, yeah I saw her with her black tongue tied Round the roses Fist pounding on a vending machine Toy diamond ring stuck on her finger
With a noose she can hang from the sun And put it out with her dark sunglasses Walking crooked down the beach She spits on the sand where their bones are bleaching
And I know I'm gonna steal her eye She doesn't even know what's wrong And I know I'm gonna make her die Take her where her soul belongs And I know I'm gonna steal her eye Nothing that I wouldn't try
Hey, my sun-eyed girl Hey, my sun-eyed girl
I saw her, yeah I saw her with her hands tied back And her rags were burning Crawling out from a landfilled life Scrawling her name upon the ceiling
Throw a coin in a fountain of dust White noise, her ears are ringing Got a ticket for a midnight hanging Throw a bullet from a freight train leaving
And I know I'm gonna steal her eye She doesn't even know what's wrong And I know I'm gonna make her die Take her where her soul belongs
And I know I'm gonna steal her eye Nothing that I would not try
Hey, my sun-eyed girl
Can't you hear those cavalry drums Hijacking your equilibrium Midnight snacks in the mausoleum Where the pixilated doctors moan Carnivores in the Cowloon night Breathing freon by the candlelight Coquettes bitch slap you so polite Till you thank them for the tea and sympathy
[CHORUS:]I want to defy The logic of all sex laws Let the handcuffs slip off your wrists I'll let you be my chaperone At the halfway home
I'm a full-grown man But I'm not afraid to cry
Neptune's lips taste like fermented wine Perfumed blokes on the Ginza line Running buck wild like a concubine Whose mother never held her hand
Brief encounters in Mercedes Benz Wearing hepatitis contact lens Bed and breakfast getaway weekends With Sports Illustrated moms
[CHORUS]
[CHORUS]
I see trees of green, red roses too I see them bloom for me and you And I think to myself, what a wonderful world
I see skies of blue and clouds of white The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night And I think to myself, what a wonderful world
The colours of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky Are also on the faces of people going by I see friends shakin' hands, sayin' "How do you do?" They're really saying "I love you"
I hear babies cryin', I watch them grow They'll learn much more than I'll ever know And I think to myself, what a wonderful world Yes, I think to myself, what a wonderful world
Oh yeah
Come away with me in the night Come away with me And I will write you a song
Come away with me on a bus Come away where they can't tempt us With their lies
And I want to walk with you On a cloudy day In fields where the yellow grass grows knee-high So won't you try to come?
Come away with me and we'll kiss On a mountaintop Come away with me And I'll never stop loving you
And I want to wake up with the rain Falling on a tin roof While I'm safe there in your arms So all I ask is for you To come away with me in the night
Come away with me
Happy happy oh my friend Blow out candles once again Leave the presents all inside Take my hand and let's take a ride
Backwards down the number line You were eight and I was nine Do you know what happened then Do you know why we're still friends
Laughing all these many years We've pushed through hardships tasted tears We made a promise one to keep I can still recite it in my sleep
Every time a birthday comes Call your friend and sing a song Or whisper it in to his ears Or write it down just don't miss a year
[CHORUS:]You decide what it contains How long it goes But this remains The only rule is it begins Happy happy oh my friend
[CHORUS]
And all my friends come Backwards down the number line All my friends come Backwards down the number line All my friends come Backwards down the number line All my friends
[CHORUS]
And all my friends come Backwards down the number line
All my friends come Backwards down the number line All my friends come Backwards down the number line
...
I can't seem to face up to the facts I'm tense and nervous and I Can't relax I can't sleep cause my bed's on fire Don't touch me I'm a real live wire
[CHORUS:] Psycho Killer Qu'est-ce que c'est? fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa far better Run run run run run run run away
[CHORUS]
You start a conversation you can't even finish it. You're talkin' a lot, but you're not sayin' anything. When I have nothing to say, my lips are sealed. Say something once, why say it again?
[CHOURS]
[CHORUS]
Ce que j'ai fais, ce soir la Ce qu'elle a dit, ce soir la Realisant mon espoir Je me lance, vers la gloire ... OK
We are vain and we are blind I hate people when they're not polite
[CHOURS]
[CHORUS]
Those who are dead are not dead They’re just living in my head And since I fell for that spell I am living there as well Oh..
Time is so short and I’m sure There must be something more
Those who are dead are not dead They’re just living in my head oh… And since I fell for that spell I am living there as well oh…
Time is so short and I’m sure There must be something more
You thought you might be a ghost You thought you might be a ghost You didn’t get to heaven but you made it close You didn’t get to heaven but you made it close
You thought you might be a ghost You thought you might be a ghost You didn’t get to heaven but you made it close You didn’t get to heaven but you oh-oh-ooh, oh-oh-ooh Oh oh…
Those who are dead are not dead They’re just living in my head Oh..
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 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
[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]
There's a place up ahead and I'm going just as fast as my feet can fly Come away, come away if you're going, Leave the sinking ship behind.
[CHORUS:] Come on the rising wind, We're going up around the bend.
Bring a song and a smile for the banjo, Better get while the gettings good, Hitch a ride to the end of the highway Where the neons turn to wood.
CHORUS
You can ponder perpetual motion, Fix your mind on a crystal day, Always time for a good conversation, There's an ear for what you say.
CHORUS
Catch a ride to the end of the highway And we'll meet by the big red tree, There's a place up ahead and I'm going, Come along, come along with me.
CHORUS
Yeah!
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun And I say it's all right
Little darling, it's been a long cold lonely winter Little darling, it feels like years since it's been here Here comes the sun, here comes the sun And I say it's all right
Little darling, the smiles returning to the faces Little darling, it seems like years since it's been here Here comes the sun, here comes the sun And I say it's all right
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes Sun, sun, sun, here it comes Sun, sun, sun, here it comes Sun, sun, sun, here it comes Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Little darling, I feel that ice is slowly melting Little darling, it seems like years since it's been clear
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun And I say it's all right
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun It's all right, it's all right
And everything is going to the beat. And everything is going to the beat. And everything is going
And you said, it was like fire around the brim Burning solid, burning thin the burning rim
Like stars burning holes right through the dark Flicking fire like saltwater into my eyes
You were one inch from the edge of his bed I dragged you back a sleepyhead, sleepyhead
They couldn't think of something to say the day you burst With all their lions, with all their might and all their thirst They crowd your bedroom like some thoughts wearing thin
Against the walls, against your rules, against your skin My beard grew down to the floor and out through the doors
Of your eyes, begonia skies like a sleepyhead, sleepyhead
Is there enough? [x8]
Fire it up, fire it up When we finally turn it over Make a B-line towards the border Have a drink, you've had enough
Fire it up, fire it up If you need some conversation Bring a magazine to read around Our broke down transportation
Fire it up Is there enough? [x3]
Fire it up, fire it up When we find the perfect water We'll hang out on the shore Just long enough to leave our clothes there
Find enough, find enough Oh we ate all of the oranges Off the navels of our lovers Grabbed a book and read the cover
It honestly was beautifully done Like trying to hide the daylight from the sun But even if we had been sure enough it's true we really didn't know Even if we knew which way to head but still we probably wouldn't go
Fire it up, fire it up We pushed off we're rolling boulders Crashing down the mirrored stairways Two of lifes best mind canaries
Fire it up, fire it up When we fix the carburetor Then we'll push off once again In an hour or so later
It honestly was beautifully bold Like trying to save an ice cube from the cold But even if we had been sure enough it's true we really didn't know Even if we knew which way to head but still we probably wouldn't go
Well we always had it all...
I don't want to wonder If this is a blunder I don't want to worry whether We're GOING TO stay together 'Till we die
I don't want to jump in Unless this music's thumping All the dishes rattle in the cupboards When the elephants arrive
[CHORUS:]I want to love you madly I want to love you now I want to love you madly, ouais I want to love you, love you Love you madly
I don't want to fake it I just want to make it The ornaments look pretty But they're pulling down the branches Of the Tree
I don't want to think about it I don't want to talk about it When I kiss your lips I want to sink down to the bottom Of the sea
[CHORUS]
I don't want to hold back I don't want to slip down I don't want to think back to the one thing that I know I Should have done
I don't want to doubt you Know everything about you I don't want to sit across the table from you Wishing I could run
[CHORUS]
It's easy sometimes when you just coast along But like it or not something always seems to go wrong Sometimes people build you up just so they can knock you down Sometimes they will have you there 'cause they need someone around
Perhaps you'll receive invitations for tea Perhaps you'll laugh and make them all smile Or maybe you'll join them 'cause it had to be Perhaps you'll forget you forgot for awhile
Birds of a feather are flocking outside(x4) like whippets they dance in a curly-queue dance of pulses and ringing and campfire chants of ritual drumming although at first glance you thought you could run but you won't take a chance
It's not an experience if they can't bring someone along They hang on emotions they bottle inside They peck at the ground And strut out of stride. Birds of a feather are flocking outside(x4) Birds of a feather are flocking outside(x4)
