[Verse 1: Anthony Kiedis]
Start marchin'
'Cause you think you shot to number one
Counting' days and
Skippin' your stones into the sun
Over age and under thumb, oh
Does it weigh a ton?
I'll be yours tonight
Livin' the dream of a meteorite

[Chorus 1: Anthony Kiedis, Josh Klinghoffer]
Start jumpin' 'cause
We've got somethin' to say, yeah
Young lovers keep it pumpin'
In the streets of L.A., yeah

[Verse 2: Anthony Kiedis, Flea]
Short strokin' doesn't fly (Bop-oh-bop-ee-bop-oh)
Better to go for broke (Bop, bop-oh-bop-ee-bop-baa-boh)
Whatchu smokin'? Mary Jane? (Bop-oh-bop-ee-bop-oh)
And does it make you choke? (Bop, bop-oh-bop-aah)
Jumpin' the fence, ridin' the rails, oh (Bop-oh-bop-ee-bop-oh)
Can you take a joke? (Bop, bop-oh-bop-ee-bop-baa-boh)
I'll be yours today (Bop-oh-bop-ee-bop-oh)
Livin' the dream with a capital K (Bop, bop-oh-bop-aah)
[Chorus 2: Anthony Kiedis, Josh Klinghoffer]
Start jumpin' 'cause
We've got somethin' to say, yeah
Young lovers keep it pumpin'
In the streets of L.A., yeah

[Bridge: Anthony Kiedis, Josh Klinghoffer]
Tell me now, I'll tell you how
Just show me where to send

[Post-Chorus: Anthony Kiedis, Josh Klinghoffer]
Make time for love and your happiness
The mothers of invention are the best
We all know and struggle with some loneliness
A tender mess for everyone, I guess
I guess

[Verse 3: Anthony Kiedis]
Half-blinded
I'm reminded how to find the stairs
Nickel and dimin'
Think it's time to play some musical chairs
Dirty laundry, what a quandary
Ask her if she cares
I'll be yours and more
Better than ever, like never before
[Chorus 3: Anthony Kiedis, Josh Klinghoffer]
Start jumpin' 'cause
We've got somethin' to say, yeah
Young lovers keep it pumpin'
In the streets of L…
Make time for love and your happiness
The mothers of invention are the best
We all know and struggle with some loneliness
A tender mess for everyone, I guess
I guess

[Verse 4: Anthony Kiedis, Flea]
Sweet talkin' (Bop-oh-bop-ee-bop-oh)
As I'm walkin' through your part of town (Bop, bop-oh-bop-ee-bop-baa-boh)
Never again (Bop-oh-bop-ee-bop-oh)
Will Johnny C. a Love Supreme be found (Bop, bop-oh-bop-aah)
Is it ever meant to be? (Bop-oh-bop-ee-bop-oh)
And is it so profound? (Bop, bop-oh-bop-ee-bop-baa-boh)
Is it you and me? (Bop-oh-bop-ee-bop-oh)
A billion to one make history (Bop, bop-oh-bop-aah)

[Outro: Anthony Kiedis, Flea]
A history (Bop-oh-bop-ee-bop-oh)
(Bop, bop-oh-bop-ee-bop-baa-boh)
Said, "Yeah." (Bop-oh-bop-ee-bop-oh)
Oh yeah (Bop, bop-oh-bop-aah)
Said, "Yeah." (Bop-oh-bop-ee-bop-oh)
Oh yeah. (Bop, bop-oh-bop-ee-bop-baa-boh)
I said, "A-yeah." (Bop-oh-bop-ee-bop-oh)
Oh yeah (Bop, bop-oh-bop-aah)
