John Frusciante
These Are the Ways
[Verse 1]
Make me a fist
Purple Mountain road that I can't miss
Have we all had enough?
Have we all had too much?
[Verse 2]
Lost in a dream
Please step down from your bully machine
Can we all back it up?
Can we all give it up?
[Chorus]
These are the ways when you come from America
The sights, the sounds, the smells
These are the ways when you come from America
I don't want to die and she's gonna take good care of ya
I just want to thrive and there's gonna be hystеria
[Post-Chorus]
Don't be late
Walk us through the goldеn gate, yeah!
Bruce and George
Singing for their own reward
[Verse 3]
Take me inside
Twenty-three windows and it's gonna be a long ride
All had enough?
Have we all had too much?
[Verse 4]
Sing me the blues
Cowgirl's tight in her basketball shoes
Can we all back it up?
Can we all give it up?
[Chorus]
These are the ways when you come from America
The sights, the sounds, the smells
These are the ways when you come from America
I don't want to die and she's gonna take good care of ya
I just want to thrive and there's gonna be hysteria
[Post-Chorus]
Don't be late
Walk us through the golden gate, yeah!
Bruce and George
Singing for their own reward
