Slow Cheetah

Red Hot Chili Peppers · Stadium Arcadium [2006]

Wakin' up dead inside of my head

Will never, never do

There is no med

No medicine to take

I've had a chance to be insane

Asylum from the falling rain

I've had a chance to break



It's so bad it's got to be good

Mysterious girl misunderstood

Dressed like a wedding cake

Any other day and I might play

A funeral march for Bonnie Brae

Why try and run away



Slow cheetah come before my forest

Looks like it's on today

Slow cheetah come it's so euphoric

No matter what they say



I know a girl

She worked in a store

She knew not what her life was for

She barely knew her name

They tried to tell her she would never be

As happy as the girl in the magazine

She bought it with her pay



Slow cheetah come before my forest

Looks like it's on today

Slow cheetah come it's so euphoric

No matter what they say



Everyone has so much to say

They talk, talk, talk their lives away

Don't even hesitate

Walkin' on down to the burial ground

It's a very old dance with a merry old sound

Looks like it's on today



Slow cheetah come before my forest

Looks like it's on today

Slow cheetah come it's so euphoric

No matter what they say



Slow cheetah come before my forest

Looks like it's on today

Slow cheetah come it's so euphoric

No matter what they say
