Red hot chili peppers wet sand lyrics

My shadow?????
Coming back to satisfy
Elementary, slow, but in soul
My lover's been almost everywhere
What's innocent why do you care
Someone stops to cry
Time to go
Your the best I know

My softest side has loved and died
I'm loving you and we both lie
Universal shift into a love
The travisty that we have seen
???????????faith that you bring
Automatic?????????????????

My what a good day for a, walk outside
I'd like to get to know you a little better babe I know that I'll really try
My what a good day for we take a ride
I'd like to say we've been good together

I saw you there so unaware
A hummingbird, no need to care
Elementary, slow, but in soul
The distant care of normalty
Could not pull hairs with your boutique
Ballerina, cupid, going toe to toe

My what a good day for a, walk outside
I'd like to say we need it for the better

I thought about it and I brought it out
I'm motivated by the lack of doubt
I'm concentrated but I'm looking out
Mother, the father, the daughter

Right on the verge of swallowed pills
I'll try to leap from coast to coast
Here he doesn't cut it but it's close
I'm almost there why should I care
My heart is hurting when I share
Someone could be loved, rarely shows

My what a good day for a, walk outside
I'd like to think we need it for the better

I thought about it and I brought it out
I'm motivated by the lack of doubt
I concentrated but I'm looking out
The Mother, the father, the daughter

Yeah you don't foam in the wet sand
You don't foam at all
Woah you don't foam in the wet sand, I do, yeah

You don't fall in the wet sand
You don't fall at all
Woah you don't fall in the wet sand, I do, yeah!

• "Wet Sand" was a title the band's guitarist, John Frusciante, came up with for one of his own solo songs but when Anthony Kiedis mentioned how much he loved it John insisted Anthony use it as "It seemed more of a Chili Pepper song." >>

• Flea, the band's bassist, gave his interpretation of the tune in the album commentary, saying: "The feeling I get from it is that it's a love song but it's a special love song because it's not just about loving somebody and how great love is. It's about the darkness of love, too, and the lightness and it's all together and you love it all. And that's the biggest love that there is because you're really loving the things that you don't like, too."

• This was the fifth RHCP album produced by Rick Rubin. Flea said "Wet Sand" is a great example of how Rubin had to twist the their arms to try things his way, which ended up being for their own good. This time around, Frusciante came in with beautiful chord progressions in different pieces, and Rubin changed all the pieces around. "He had us do all these things we never would have thought of," Flea recalled. "And it came out so great, you know, all those parts that John had come up with became such a dynamic song."

My shadow side so amplified
Keeps coming back dissatisfied
Elementary, son, but it’s so

My love affair with everywhere
Was innocent, why do you care
Someone start the car
Time to go, you’re the best I know

My sunny side has up and died
I’m betting that when we collide
The universe will shift into a low

The travesties that we have seen
Are treating me like Benzedrine
Automatic laughter from a pro

My what a good day
For a walk outside
I’d like to get to know
You a little better baby
God knows that I really tried

My what a good day
For a take out bride
I’d like to say we
Did it for the better of

I saw you there so unaware
Those hummingbirds all in your hair
Elementary, son, but it's so

The disrepair of Norma Jean
Could not compare to your routine
Balarama beauty
Going toe to toe

My what a good day
Just to let it slide
I’d like to say we did it for the better of

I thought about it
And I brought it out
I’m motivated by the lack of doubt
I’m consecrated, but I’m not devout
The mother, the father, the daughter

Right on the verge, just one more dose
I’m traveling from coast to coast
My theory isn’t perfect, but its close

I’m almost there, why should I care
My heart is hurting when I share
Someone open up and
Let it show

My what a good day
For a walk outside
I’d like to think we did it for the better of

I thought about it
And I brought it out
I’m motivated by the lack of doubt
I’m consecrated, but I’m not devout
The mother, the father, the daughter

You don’t form in the wet sand
You don’t form at all
You don’t form in the wet sand
I do yeah
You don’t form in the wet sand
You don’t form at all
You don’t form in the wet sand
I do
