  • Smile when I'm shy in ways but I love
    Everything of first impressions
    Sweet successions

    Been around for quite a while
    I see you kept it versatile
    Motivated to combine
    Even when it's bad, it's fine

    Did she say something that made you cry?
    Have you lost it all? The big fall
    Oh, so slowly, comes back holy

    Bishop takes a knight but I will
    Put up quite a fight, oh
    Here's your ham on rye
    Elementary, the chemistry means
    Everything to me long progression's why

    Set it off to collect knowledge
    Quit a job and go to college
    All about the aftershock
    Swedish Latin super funk

    Moses of Manhattan made it great
    Pain we celebrate and I love
    The long progression, indiscretion

    Bishop takes a knight but I will
    Put up quite a fight, oh
    Here's your ham on rye
    Elementary, the chemistry means
    Everything to me long progression's why

    In between the reasons are
    The psychedelic seasons, oh
    Simple as your stride
    Information intimated, elegant and integrated
    Sweep your floors with pride

    Smile, 'cause it's all a ride all supplied
    And I love everything about this
    Session and this long progression

    Bishop takes a knight but I will
    Put up quite a fight, oh
    Here's your ham on rye
    Elementary, the chemistry means
    Everything to me long progression's why

    In between the reasons are
    The psychedelic seasons, oh
    Simple as your stride
    Elementary, the chemistry means
    Everything to me the long progression's why Writer/s: ANTHONY KIEDIS, CHAD GAYLORD SMITH, JOSH ADAM KLINGHOFFER, MICHAEL PETER BALZARY
