如果我把91年的BLOOD SUGAR SEX MAGIK视为RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS风格最强烈的奠定性作品,大抵没有人会有异议.当年BOLLD SUGAR SEX MAGIK的出现,就仿佛是唱片监制RICK RUBIN为他们开拓了一个新的层次,标志着他们在音乐事业上的一段新里程,或者在商业成就上而言,唱片为人津JOHN FRUSCIANTE在第二年毅然选择离队,令乐队在89年所固定下来的四位一体的阵容再度瓦解,一下子BLOOD SUGAR SEX MAGIK为CHILI PEPPERS所写下的音乐成就仿佛显得无以为继.在前JANE'S ADDICTION吉他手DAVE NAVARO加入后于四年前发表的ONE HOT MINUTE只似是乐队的一个过渡期,
CALIFORMICATION的最大意义与乐迷最引颈以待的因素,是JOHN跟乐队做出复合,让CHILI PE…
I saw you at the police station and it breaks my heart to say.
Your eyes had wandered off to something distant, cold and grey.
I guess you didn't see it coming,
someone's gotten used to slumming.
Dreaming of the golden years,
I see you had to change careers.
Far away, but we both know its somewhere.
I saw you on the back page of some pre press yesterday.
The drip wood in your eyes had nothing short of love for pain.
I know you from another picture,
of someone with the most convictions.
We used to read the funny papers,
fooled around and pulled some capers.
Not today, send a message to her.
A message that I'm coming, coming to pursue her.
(Chorus 1)
Tell your country I, rest my face on your bed.
I got you ten times over, I'll chase you down 'til you're dead.
I saw you on a tv station and it made me wanna pray.
An empty shell of loveliness is now dusted with decay.
What happened to the funny paper?
Smiling was your money maker.
Someone oughta situate her,
find a way to educate her.
All the way, time to come and find you.
You can't hide from me girl, so never mind what I do.
(Chorus 2)
Tell your country I, rest my face on your bed.
I bet my sovereign country and I, left it all for your head.
I saw you in the church and there was no time to exchange.
You were getting married and it felt so very strange.
I guess I didn't see it coming,
now I guess it's me who's bumming.
Dreaming of the golden years,
you and I were mixing tears.
Not today, not for me but someone.
Never could get used to, so now I will refuse to.
(Chorus 2)
Tell your country I, rest my face on your bed.
I bet my sovereign country and I, left it all for your head
I got my best foot forward and I'll chase you down 'til you're dead.
