Subterranean Homesick Blues Lyrics - Red Hot Chili Peppers

1 Johnny's in the basement mixing up the medicine

2 I'm on the pavement thinking about the government

3 Man in the trench coat, badge out, laid off,

4 Says he's got a bad cough: he wants to get paid off (paid off)

5 Pay him off

6 God knows when but you're doin' it again!

7 You better duck down the alleyway lookin' for a new friend

8 Man in the coonskin cap in the big pen

9 Wants eleven dollar bills: you only got ten

10 So look out, kid

11 Look out, kid, because it's somethin' that you did, kid

12 Look out, kid, because they keep it all hid (look out)

13 Maggie comes fleet foot, face full of black soot

14 Talkin' that the heat put plants in the bedroom but

15 The phone's tapped anyway, Maggie says that many say

16 They must bust in early May

17 Orders from the D.A.

18 The double D.A.

19 Walkin' on your tip toes, don't try "no doz"

20 You better stay away from those that carry around a fire hose

21 Keep a clean nose, and an eye on the plain clothes

22 'Cause you don't need a weather man to know which way the wind blows

23 Look out, kid

24 Look out, kid, because it's somethin' that you did, kid

25 Look out, kid, because they keep it all hid (look out)

26 Looks to me like you did

27 A little too much hittin' kid

28 You should've took it to the bridge

29 Before you started to skid

30 Look out, kid

31 The good god willin', we'll bebop to Bob Dylan

32 Chillin' em, thrillin' em, and red hot killin' em

33 Killin' em

34 I said killin' em

35 Come on, come on

36 Get sick, get well, hang around the ink well

37 Ring a bell, hard to tell if anything is goin' to sell

38 Try hard, get barred, jump back, write braille

39 Get jailed, jump bail, join the army if you fail

40 Users, cheaters, and the six time losers

41 Hang around the theatres

42 Girl by the whirlpool lookin' for a new fool

43 Don't follow leaders, watch the parkin' meters

44 Look out, kid

45 Look out, kid, because it's somethin' that you did, kid

46 Look out, kid, because they keep it all hid

47 Look out, kid, because it's somethin' that you did, kid

48 Look out, kid, because they keep it all hid

49 Look out
