Parallel Universe
Red Hot Chili Peppers · Live in Hyde Park Disc 2
ItÂ’s getting harder and harder
To tell what came first
Under water where thoughts can breathe easily
Far away you were made in a sea
Just like me
Christ IÂ’m a sidewinder I'm a
California king
I swear itÂ’s everywhere
ItÂ’s everything
Staring straight up into the sky
Oh my my, a solar system that fits
In your eye microcosm
You could die but your never dead spider web
Take a look at the stars in
Your head fields of space kid
Christ IÂ’m a sidewinder I'm a
California king
I swear itÂ’s everywhere
ItÂ’s everything
Christ IÂ’m a sidewinder I'm a
California king
I swear itÂ’s everywhere
ItÂ’s everything
Psychic changes are born in your heart entertain
A nervous breakthrough that makes us the same
Bless your heart girl
Kill the pressure itÂ’s raining on
Salty cheeks
When you hear the beloved song
I am with you
Christ IÂ’m a sidewinder I'm a
California king
I swear itÂ’s everywhere
ItÂ’s everything
Christ IÂ’m a sidewinder I'm a
California king
I swear itÂ’s everywhere
ItÂ’s everything
