  • I was walking through the streets I could not hear my best friend call
    He was feeling incomplete about to take his final fall
    Last thing I remember there were tears of blood and just not mine
    Any other day and I would save you from this cold decline

    Everything they said about everything
    Was a coming undone it's a life supreme
    I do and I don't, well I do and I don't, oh yeah

    Feasting on the flowers so fast and young
    It's a light so bright that I bite my tongue
    I do and I don't, well I do and I don't, oh yeah
    The next dimension, show me in

    We were moving in the world, expanding your realities
    A force of nature on the verge, commanding abnormalities
    Last thing I remember there was ringing in my selfish ears
    Twenty-six a number much too small for someone's golden years

    Everything they said about everything
    Was a coming undone it's a life supreme
    I do and I don't, well I do and I don't, oh yeah

    Feasting on the flowers so fast and young
    It's a light so bright that I bite my tongue
    I do and I don't, well I do and I don't, oh yeah
    The next dimension, show me in

    You get a little bit more this time when
    You give a little bit for your brother's kind
    Like she always said, oh, don't look back, just look ahead

    You sing a little bit stronger when you
    Remember the song of your old best friend
    Like she always said, oh, don't look back, just look ahead

    Everything they said about everything
    Was a coming undone it's a life supreme
    I do and I don't, well I do and I don't, oh yeah

    Feasting on the flowers so fast and young
    It's a light so bright that I bite my tongue
    I do and I don't, well I do and I don't, oh yeah Writer/s: Anthony Kiedis, Brian Joseph Burton, Chad Gaylord Smith, Josh Adam Klinghoffer, Michael Peter Balzary
