The Longest Wave - Red Hot Chili Peppers

Throw me all around

Like a boomerang sky

Whatever you do

Don't tell me why

Poppies grow tall

Then say bye bye

The wave is here

A seamless little team

And then we tanked

I guess we're not so sacrosanct

The tip of my tongue

But then we blanked

The wave is here

Waiting on the wind

To tell my side

Ready set jet

But she never gets far

Listen to your skin

From the seat of my car

Two centipedes stuck

In one glass jar

The longest wave

Waiting on the wind

To tell my side

Whatcha want

Whatcha need

Do you love

Maybe I'm the right one

Maybe I'm the wrong

Just another play, the pirate, and the papillon

Time to call it a day

Maybe you're my last love

Maybe you're my first

Just another way to play inside the universe

Now I know why we came

Sterile as the barrel

Of an old 12 gauge

Under my skin

And half my age

Hotter than the wax

On a saxifrage

The longest wave

Waiting on the wind

To turn my page

Steady your sails

For the butterfly flap

Whatever you do

Don't close that gap

I'm dreaming of a woman

But she's just my nap

Your ship is in

Waiting on the tide so I can swim

Whatcha want

Whatcha need

Do you love

Maybe I'm the right one

Maybe I'm the wrong

Just another play, the pirate, and the papillon

Time to call it a day

Maybe you're my last love

Maybe you're my first

Just another way to play inside the universe

Now I know why we came

Now I know why we came

Now I know
