Lyrics for Deep Kick as interpreted by PrismPuck

Deep Kick Lyrics
It started when we were
little kids free spirits but
already tormented by our own hands
given to us by our parents we got together
and wrote on desks and slept in laundry
rooms near snowy mountains & slipped through
whatever cracks we can find minds altered
we didn't falter in portraying hysterical
and tragic characters in a smog filled
universe we loved the dirty city and the
journeys away from it we had not yet been
or seen our friends selves chase tails round
and round in downward spiral leaving trail
of irretrievable vital life juice behind still
the brothersbloodcomradespartnerfamilycuzz
was impenetrable
and we lived inside it laughing with no clothes
and everything experimental 'till death was
upon us in our face mortality and
lots of things seemed futile then but
love and music can save us and did while
the giant grey monster grew more poisoned
and volatile around us jaws clamping down
and spewing ugly shit around nothing
is the same so we keep moving.

Went off and got some hair cuts
Lookin' wild & got all drugged up
Hopped a train into the night
Got a ride with a transvestite
Two boys in San Francisco
Two boys in San Francisco
Blasted off in a BART bathroom
Those coppers woke us up
Motherfuckers woke us up

Two young brothers on a hover craft
Telepathics love and belly laughs

Storm the stage of Universal
Slim shine talk box go subversal
Papa's proud and so he sent us
Pounding hearts full and relentless
Two boys in London, England
Two boys in London, England
Climbing out of hostel windows
Wearing gear so out but in though
Come on kid and do the no no

Two young brothers on a hover craft
Telepathics, love and belly laughs

We went to Fairfax High School
Jumped off buildings into their pools
We'd sit down and grease at Canters
Run like hell they can't catch us
Two boys in L.A. proper
Two boys in L.A. proper
Stealin' anything that we could
Gotta sneak into the Starwood
Gotta peak into the deep good

I remember 10 years ago
in Hollywood we did some good
and we did some real bad stuff
but the Butthole Surfers
always said it's better to regret
Something you did
than something you didn't do
We were young and we
were looking for the deep kick...
seen 'em come seen
'em
go

This song reminds me of my childhood friend and when we first starting go out in the world and looking around. Following railroad tracks for hours, trying to get to the river...A person can get easily bored in the ghetto.

But I imagine RHCP has been through and done more than I can even imagine. And somehow came out clean on the other side.

It's about searching for something and being immense friends with someone. It's a crazy song, it's so good.

i love the intro to this song, it builds up the rest of the song amazingly, then flea's speach at the end is to true, 'its better to regret something you did than something you didn't do'
it is also cool hearing about stories they had when they were younger.

awesome song, a good example of the earlier RHCP and how much they've changed, not changed for the bad, just matured i guess...song has to be about anthony and flea, right? seems so...just talks about a couple of people lookin' for the meaning in their life? looking to keep occupied lol, something to get them off...good call bshburn, love and music can save us...my favorite part of the song is when anthony is like "ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh shiiiiiiit", very underrated RHCP song off an underrated cd IMO

This song is about Anthony and Flea when the hitchhiked to San Francisco. Everything in the song actually happened to them. A guy picked them up, said his name was Don. Then he pulled over after a while and came back dressed as a woman and said he was Dawn. This is a signifigant song because its one of the few that Flea helped write, he also wrote most of Transcending which is also on One Hot Minute.

this song is gorgeous, nd i luv the way it is lay out. theres an intro, then three parts of their life, then a conclusion. the stuff about jumpin off buildings into their pools is true; anthony only stopped wen he misjudged nd broke his back. ow.

3incubus11, just because a band's work isn't exposed doesn't mean it's nonexistent

By the way, clever handle, buddy

Yeah this song, as most of you said, is all about the adventures of Flea and Anthony. In his book Anthony says he actually wrote very little of the song because he was missing rehearsals and recording sessions due to his drug addiction coming back after about 4 or 5 years of being sober. So Flea came up with the intro and a lot of the rest. Great song, I love it. I agree with Sillwater, very underrated song from an underrated CD.

anyone have any idea what the "if the French can unite, we can.." reference has to do with the song itself? It's right before the song picks up in beat originally. As for the meaning I think it's AK talking about good times and adventures the guys had, which if you read AK's book you'll see are enough to fill another double album,lol.
