Subterranean Homesick Blues
Red Hot Chili Peppers Johnny's in the basement mixing up the medicine Says he's got a bad cough: wants to get it paid off I'm on the pavement thinking about the goverment The man in the trench coat, badge out, laid off, Paid off God knows when but you're doin' it again! You better duck down the alleyway lookin' for a new friend Wants eleven dollar bills: you only got ten The man in the coonskin cap in the big pen So look out kid Look out, kid Look out, kid, because it's somethin' that you did, kid Look out, kid, because they keep all hid Maggie comes fleet foot, face full of black soot The phone's tapped anyway, maggie says that many say Talkin' at the heat put plants in the bed but They must bust in early May Orders from the D.A. Walkin' on your tip toes, don't try no doze Keep a clean nose, watch the plain clothes Better stay away from those that carry around a fire hose Cause we don't need a weather man to know which way the wind blows Look out, kid Look out, kid, because it's somethin' that you did, kid Look out, kid, because they keep all hid Looks to me like you did You should've took it to the bridge Look out, kid A little to much hittin' kid Before you started to skid, kid The good god willin', we'll bebop to Bob Dylan Chillin' em, thrillin' em, and red hot killin' em Killin' em I said killin' em Get sick, get well, hand around an ink well Ring bell, hard to tell if anything is goin' to sell Try hard, get barred, get back, write braille Get jailed, jump bail, join the army, if you fail But users, cheaters, six time losers Hand around the theatres Girl by the whirlpool lookin' for a new fool Don't follow leaders, watch the parkin' meters Look out, kid Look out, kid, because it's somethin' that you did, kid Look out, kid, because they keep all hid Look out, kid Look out, kid, because they keep all hidLook out, kid, because it's somethin' that you did, kid |
