Dreams Of A Samurai

  • Standing naked in your kitchen
    Feeling free that I could be alive
    Clearly I'm a contradiction
    Too young to be my wife

    A peaceful storm is never hectic
    Her mellow voice that I could be within
    The uniform is anorexic
    A jealous choice won't win

    A metamorphosis samurai
    Y'got a little lord fish and I don't know why I got a
    Metamorphosis samurai

    Paint your face 'cause I'm a black foot
    I thought I counted up the fireflies
    Close enough to get a good look
    Time to mobilize

    A metamorphosis samurai
    Y'got a little lord fish and I don't know why I got a
    Metamorphosis samurai

    I'm a lonely lad
    I've lost myself out on the range
    I don't remember much
    So don't ask me I've gone insane

    Taking acid in a graveyard
    Stealing food to keep the night alive
    Every day I try to play hard
    Even with my lies

    The day they found you on a tour bus
    The news was barren as a desert bone
    The tabloids made a kind of small fuss
    A couple pictures shown

    I'm a lonely lad
    I've lost myself out on the range
    I don't remember much
    So don't ask me I've gone insane

    Slowly turning into driftwood
    No one ever wants to die alone
    Thinking that a pretty gift could
    Make you less unknown

    Dirty sneakers on the pavement
    The brilliant features of a common man
    See the miracle of your life
    No one ever can

    I'm a lonely lad
    I've lost myself out on the range
    I don't remember much
    So don't ask me I've gone insane

    See the world go by
    The changes that we entertain
    I don't recall it all
    Remember I have gone insane Writer/s: ADAM KLINGHOFFER, ANTHONY KIEDIS, CHAD SMITH, MICHAEL PETER BALZARI
