Right on Time

Red Hot Chili Peppers

One shot, all I need
I've got rhythm when I bleed
'Til death do us apart
Break my heart so I can start
Supercalifragilistic
Kiss me in the futuristic
Twisted but I must insist
It's time to get on top of this

It's right on time
It's right on time
It's right on time, it's right on time (it's right)
It's right on time, it's right on time (on time)
Lookin' fine, you're lookin' fine (it's right)
And get on 1999 (on time)

Discard to bombard
Calling all you shooting stars
Holy cow, bow wow wow
Now I'm here, I'm nowhere now
Joan of Arc reincarnated
Maybe we could be related
So much blood to circulate
And so much space to decorate

It's right on time
It's right on time
It's right on time, it's right on time (it's right)
It's right on time, it's right on time (on time)
Lookin' fine, you're lookin' fine (it's right)
And get on 1999 (on time)

It's right on time
It's right on time
It's right on time
It's right on time

Well, plain and simple pain
I want to but I can't complain
Death row, let us go
It's time to blow up for show
All the world reverberated
Coming through, we motorcaded
Start off when we operated
Turing up in solid stated

Oh, Lord

    well nice song. But do you notest that every song has a fast part and slow part. I'm saying that none song its fast or slow, its always has a bit of one.

    "One shot all I need I’ve got rhythm when I bleed" "Calling all you shooting stars" Fast tempo, short song, maybe its about the brief rush you get from heroin? Thats what I got from it.

    I don´t think it´s about drugs! I think it´s about agression. Loverelated agression, "I plain and simple pain, i want to but i can´t complain"...
