Everything inside of me
is burning up for you to see.

And if we should get into it,
a two way kind of syndicate.
Hold me.

Compare us to a Ferris wheel.
Just be sure what you want to steal.
Some people do it by the book,
but I prefer to go by feel.
Tell me.

I wanted to get outta here,
but every time I reappear.
Now I have the words my dear
to whisper right into your ear.
Hey, yeah.

C'mon girl,
let's get it right,
let's get it right,
let's get it right. (x4)

The spirit of a dragon's tear
is lovely at this time of year.

The cave within your mountainside
is deeper than it will be wide.
Hold me.

My disenchanted diplomat,
asleep inside the laundromat.
Conveyer belts are moving and
I want you to be sure of that.
Tell me.

And if you let it germinate,
I know it will be worth the wait.
Disputed by the news that it was you
who tried to instigate.
Hey, yeah.

C'mon girl,
let's get it right,
let's get it right,
let's get it right. (x4)

Blessed are the hypocrites.
Outwitted but she never quits.
The trouble with a band of slits
is washing off all the muddy bits.
Hey, yeah.

C'mon girl,
let's get it right,
let's get it right,
let's get it right. (x4)

Oh yeah, she's with me and I'm your man.
If I can't find you no one can.

    General Comment:this was the song that made me go out and buy all the RHCP CDs.

    but I think mrs. Kiedis had a really good idea about the whole trying to have a baby thing.
    This was on Stadium Arcadium, and I think that by this time Anthony was thinking about starting a family and having a baby. He mentions towards the end of Scar Tissue that he'd like to have kids someday, but that hes not sure when and he would rather take it slow.
    As we know however, he does have a baby, Everly Bear!
    so mabye this is about trying to make a baby or mabye it was written sometime before Everly was concieved.
    And yes, duh its about sex, because thats what you have to do to have a kid, but this is mature, relfective, deep Chili Peppers, and the song would have way more meaning to it than just "im having sex again! whoo!" or it might mean something COMPLELTY differnt and we're all just morons. who knows? I dont, but Anthony does.

    I thought that was an intresting idea though mrs. kiedis.

    General Comment:I think it is a really good song. Yes, its abstract but no, it doesn't have some extremely deep meaning. Honestly, I think it could be about Anthony wanting to have kids.

    ps. Have you seen the most recent pic.s of Everyly B. HE IS SSOOO CUTE!

    General Comment:I figured out what every line means and i don't feel like explaining each individual line. I'm pretty sure that the song is about this girl who he just was having sex with and then their relationship developed into a deeper, more beautiful, and true one.

    General Comment:He is afraid of making the girl fall in love with him "by the book" but wants her to be his' because it feels like the right thing even though he knows the "word's to whisper in her ear" That is what I thought when I heard the song before I read other people's thoughts, some of which sounded more reasonable but it could be a combination of their thoughts and mine as in a combination of emotions and sexuality and/or family
