Deep Kick - Red Hot Chili Peppers

It started when we were little kids

Free spirits but already tormented

By our own hands given to us by our parents

We got together and wrote on desks

And slept in laundry rooms near snowy mountains

And slipped through whatever cracks

We can find minds altered

We didn't falter in portraying hysterical

And tragic characters

In a smog filled universe

We loved the dirty city

And the journeys away

From it we had not yet been

Or seen our friends selves

Chase tails round and round in

A downward spiral leaving a trail

Of irretrievable vital life juice

Behind still the brothers blood

Comrades partner family

Cuzz was impenetrable

And we lived inside it laughing

With no clothes and everything

Experimental till death was upon us

In our face mortality

And lots of things seemed futile

Then but love and music can save us

And did while the giant grey monster grew

More poisoned and volatile around us

And jaws clamping down

And spewing ugly shit around

Nothing is the same so we keep moving

We keep moving.

Went off and off and got some hair cuts

Lookin wild and got all drugged up

Hopped a train into the night

Got a ride with a transvestite

Two boys in San Francisco

Two boys in San Francisco

Blasted off in a Bart bathroom

Those coppers woke us up

Mothersfuckers woke us up

Two young brothers on a hover craft

Telepathetic love and bellylaughs

Storm the stage of Universal

Slim shine talk boy go subversal

Papa's proud and so he sent us

Pounding hearts full and relentless

Two boys in London, England

Two boys in London, England

Climbing out of hostel windows

Wearing gear so out but in though

Come on kind and do the no no

Two young brothers on a hovercraft

Telepathics love and belly laughs

We went to Fairfax High School

Jumped off buildings into their pools

We'd sit down and grease at Canters

Run like hell they can't catch us

Two boys in L.A. proper

Two boys in L.A. proper

Stealin' anything that we could

Gotta sneak into the Starwood

Gotta peak into the deep good

I remember 10 years ago

In Hollywood we did some good

And we did some real bad stuff

But the Butthole Surfers

Always said it's better to regret

Something you did than something you didn't do

We were young and we were looking, looking for the deep kick...

Seen 'em come seen 'em go
