Since when are their psycho lyrics new ??
Kiedis calls them "word sculptures".... IMO it's a strength of the band. If they were playing back in the LSD days everyone would know exactly what they are saying, lol
I'll do you one better, Raoul, my all-time favorite psycho RHCP lyrics are from Parallel Universe:
************
"....Deep inside of a parallel universe
It’s getting harder and harder
To tell what came first
Under water where thoughts can breathe, easily
Far away you were made in a sea
Just like me
Christ I’m a sidewinder
I’m a California King
I swear it’s everywhere
It’s everything
Staring straight up into the sky
Oh my my a solar system that fits in your eye
Microcosm
You could die but your never dead, spider web
Take a look at the stars in your head
Fields of space kid..."
*************
OR, from Californication:
"Space may be the final frontier but it's made in a Hollywood basement"
I love this stuff !!
