Some come up and some come young
Live to love and girl good tongue
Sit down get down in the sun
Rocket to the women is on the one

I like dirt
I like dirt
I like dirt
I like dirt

The earth is made of dirt and wood
And I’d be water if I could
Live in a dream
In your stream
Live in a dream

Some come up and some come young
Live to love and girl good tongue
Sit down get down in the sun
Rocket to the women is on the one

I like dirt
I like dirt
I like dirt
I like dirt


Some come slow and overload
Must roll over when you’re told
Let’s unzip and let’s unfold
A letter to the pet better get it to go

I like dirt
I like dirt
I like dirt
I like dirt

Space is made of everything
And I’d be fire that I bring
Live in a dream
In your spring
Live in a dream

Some come slow and overload
Must roll over when you’re told
Let’s unzip and let’s unfold
A letter to the pet better get it to go

I like dirt
I like dirt
I like dirt
I like dirt

Some come up and some come young
Live to love and girl good tongue
Sit down get down in the sun
Rocket to the women is on the one

I like dirt
I like dirt
I like dirt
I like dirt

Some come up and some come young
Live to love and girl good tongue
Sit down get down in the sun
Rocket to the women is on the one

    General Comment:I like the music i like to jump around the room when I hear it.
    I imagine an indian dancing in the dirty ground on a sunny day in sunnyy warm californian hills(even thou i never went there I'm from Europe)
    I ALWAYS HAD SUCH AN INNOCENT AND PURE THOUGHTS ABOUT EVERY rhcp SONG WHEN i WAS A KID (i listened to them since I was 10)so I like to listent to it as it is that just having some good time,having fun.I never thought that about the lyrics of their meaning,but why oh why does every good song has to have a sexual point? I mean why to 'dirty'the song.
    OK either way i think I LIKE to think that this is just some silly song with twisted lines and rhymes because it would be so sweet if it actually is.
    But after all I said I also think it's still what everyone of you said AND I AGREE WITH U PEOPLE.
    Thanx))

    General Comment:in the line "rocket to the woman is on the one"
    obviously, the rocket is a phallic symbol, and "on the one" means he's about to come... as in, when a rocket takes off, they count down 3, 2, 1..... heh.

    General Comment:duh it's about him liking dirt, how many times does anthony have to say it??? lol but it most likely has some sort of sexual meaning hidden inside.... and yes the words are "give good tounge", when i read the lyrics on this page i was like "what"? those are definitely not the words, i listen to the peppers too much not to know the words to their songs. and Anthony Kiedis is not gay or bisexual, ( he even says he isn't on the Greatest hits DVD) check it out, and how many girls has this man gotten in his life time? ...... tooooo many to count..... :)

    General Comment:Personally, I'm not sure on the meaning of this song. But I do recall reading in Anthony's "Scar Tissue" that they would go out and lick garbage cans & eat dirt while on tour. In my opinion, that's what the song reminds me of. :]

    General Comment:Anthony is part Indian obviously and in indigenous cultures woman are associated with the earth because they give birth and him being the water running through the earth you can guess what that means... I just thought it was an awesome line to go with an incredible song
