Red Hot Chili Peppers

Red Hot Chili Peppers are an American rock band formed in Los Angeles in 1983. The group's musical style primarily consists of rock with an emphasis on funk, as well as elements from other genres such as punk rock and psychedelic rock. Live, they incorporate many aspects of jam rock due to the improvised nature of much of their performances. Currently, the band consists of founding members Anthony Kiedis (vocals) and Michael "Flea" Balzary (bass), longtime drummer Chad Smith, and guitarist Josh Klinghoffer, who joined in late 2009, following the departure of John Frusciante. The Red Hot Chili Peppers have won seven Grammy Awards and sold over 80 million albums worldwide. In 2012 they were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. more »

Magpies on fire
Makin' love like little wolves
Out on the porch can lead to medicine
Oh well, I'm game for anything at all

Scarecrow's a liar
Spins a yarn and no one ever checked it out
To see if it was real
Sold you the moon and now it's time to fall

All along it's like a bird
Who's trapped alone inside your cage, love

What more do you want?
How much more can you take?
I love my mistakes i've been here before

All in all it's just the call
Of something wild beyond your room
There's a changing of the major chord
Your minor threat will do, love

My gun misfired
Shot myself instead, I guess I always knew
I'd be the one to lose
That screen door slams, time to make a move

Help me!

What more do you want?
How much more can you take?
I love my mistakes i've been here before

All in all it's like a bird
Who's trapped alone inside your cage, love
A bird who's born to live at half your age
Girl a bird who's never really had a say
Yeah!

What more do you want?
How much more can you take?
I love my mistakes i've been here before

Least of all she's like a bird
Who's now been freed from someone's cage
