Never Is A Long Time
Red Hot Chili Peppers · Other Songs - Red Hot Chili Peppers
If I stall at all or hesitate
The world of always never seems to wait
A comedy that could be so divine
Never is a long time
A shadow born to steal the light of day
You woke me up and said "c'mon let's play"
Well now I know that never has, its way
You are you are the star I say
From far from far from far away
The laws that cause it all to stay
By you, by you, by you, by you
For you I do
I thought I'd done it all I thought I knew
But nothing ever looked as clear as you
Now every never that I knew was fine
Never is a long time
And now I share this feeling with my dad
Stolen goods aren't always half that bad
The never that we'll always
You are, you are the star I say
From far, from far, from far away
The laws that cause it all to stay
By you, by you, by you, by you
The faded piping on your press
Will always have its place I guess
By you, by you
A common love that we can bless
The pleasure of my child's mess
Golden books and tenderness
Have rescued me from emptiness
You are, you are the star I say
From far, from far, from far away
The laws that cause it all to stay
You are, you are the star I say
From far, from far, from far away
The laws that cause it all, it all, it all
It all, it all, it all to stay
The world of always never seems to wait
A comedy that could be so divine
Never is a long time
A shadow born to steal the light of day
You woke me up and said "c'mon let's play"
Well now I know that never has, its way
You are you are the star I say
From far from far from far away
The laws that cause it all to stay
By you, by you, by you, by you
For you I do
I thought I'd done it all I thought I knew
But nothing ever looked as clear as you
Now every never that I knew was fine
Never is a long time
And now I share this feeling with my dad
Stolen goods aren't always half that bad
The never that we'll always
You are, you are the star I say
From far, from far, from far away
The laws that cause it all to stay
By you, by you, by you, by you
The faded piping on your press
Will always have its place I guess
By you, by you
A common love that we can bless
The pleasure of my child's mess
Golden books and tenderness
Have rescued me from emptiness
You are, you are the star I say
From far, from far, from far away
The laws that cause it all to stay
You are, you are the star I say
From far, from far, from far away
The laws that cause it all, it all, it all
It all, it all, it all to stay
Never Is A Long Time
Released by Red Hot Chili Peppers, 'Never Is A Long Time' stands as a quintessential example of the band's fusion of funk, rock, and psychedelic elements. The track features the group's signature interplay between Anthony Kiedis's melodic vocals and the driving rhythms of Flea's bass and the Flea Brothers' percussion. While often associated with their 1991 album *Blood Sugar Sex Magik*, the song's enduring appeal lies in its ability to capture the band's improvisational spirit and emotional depth. It remains a staple of their live performances, showcasing the group's capacity to blend high-energy grooves with introspective moments that define their musical legacy.
