Slow Cheetah

Red Hot Chili Peppers

1. Waking 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
   
R: Slow cheetah come
   Before my forest
   Looks like it's on today
   
   Slow cheetah come
   It's so euphoric
   No matter what they say
   
   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 faith
   Chorus 
   
   So much to say
   They talk talk talk
   Their lives away
   
   Walking on down
   To the burial ground
   It's a very old dance
   With a merry old sound
   Looks like it's on today
