Red Hot Chili Peppers - This Ticonderoga lyrics

I met a man in a rock and roll band He said, "won't you come with me?" I let him know that I could not go You see, I get mine for free We are all just soldiers In this battlefield of life One thing that's for certain Is my burning appetite Step inside the emotional ride I could use some company Illusionary is so damn scary I call my best friend "Flea" This Ticonderoga Is an element that shines Connected by the great unknown Between us there are lines Yes, I told her that I'm the older cat Can I scratch your back all day? I would not have it any other way Well, means so much to me Can you see the we? What are we ever gonna do When all I want to be is next to you? I took a girl from the underworld And I held her way too tight When it's all been said and done She was not up for the fight We are all just soldiers In this open field of time Hoping to get with you When you get right with your mind It's my favorite, so I savor it I must report that life is short So, of your love I'll take ten quarts Well, there's no end to this Don't pretend to miss You and you would not repent For sitting on my elephant And am I crazy to join the lazy zoo All these human bu*terflies And cactus flowers' swollen eyes And I want the devil's share Of you I do declare Again I'm asking can I do When all these animals Want to be just like you I met a girl with long black hair And she opened up so wide A daffodil growing in Brazil And I picked her for my bride We are all just soldiers In this epic, loving flight And no one that I know Has ever really done it right Done it right Done it right Done it right Done it right
