Happiness Loves Company Lyrics
Start marchin'
'Cause you think you shot to #1
Counting days and
Skipping your stones into the sun
Over age and under thumb
Does it weigh a ton
I'll be yours tonight
Living the dream of a meteorite
Start jumping 'cause
We've got something to say
Young lovers keep it pumping
In the streets of LA
Short stroking doesn't fly
Better to go for broke
Watchu smoking Mary Jane
And does it make you choke
Jumping the fence, riding the rails
Can you take a joke
I'll be yours today
Living the dream with a capital K
Tell me now, I'll tell you how
Just show me where to send
Make time for love and your happiness
The mothers of invention are the best
We all know and struggle with some loneliness
A tender mess for everyone, I guess
Half blinded
I'm reminded how to find the stairs
Nickel and dimin'
Think it's time
To play some musical chairs
Dirty laundry
What a quandary
Ask her if she cares
I'll be yours and more
Better than ever like never before
Sweet talkin'
As I'm walkin' thru your part of town
Never again
Will Johnny C a Love Supreme be found
Is it ever meant to be
And is it so profound
Is it you and me
A billion to one make history
'Cause you think you shot to #1
Counting days and
Skipping your stones into the sun
Over age and under thumb
Does it weigh a ton
I'll be yours tonight
Living the dream of a meteorite
We've got something to say
Young lovers keep it pumping
In the streets of LA
Better to go for broke
Watchu smoking Mary Jane
And does it make you choke
Jumping the fence, riding the rails
Can you take a joke
I'll be yours today
Living the dream with a capital K
Just show me where to send
The mothers of invention are the best
We all know and struggle with some loneliness
A tender mess for everyone, I guess
I'm reminded how to find the stairs
Nickel and dimin'
Think it's time
To play some musical chairs
Dirty laundry
What a quandary
Ask her if she cares
I'll be yours and more
Better than ever like never before
As I'm walkin' thru your part of town
Never again
Will Johnny C a Love Supreme be found
Is it ever meant to be
And is it so profound
Is it you and me
A billion to one make history

Anthony said that for Frusciante "The Mothers of Invention are the best". I was wondering if the song talks a little bit about John... What means capital K and Johnny C? "I'll be yours tonight living the dream of a meteorite" is beautiful.
I think "I'm reminded how to find myself" should be "I'm reminded how to find the stairs." At least, that's what I hear :P
Although, I'm pretty sure that he says, "Sweet talking as I'm walking through your part of town" instead of "Sweet talking, there's a marker, to your part of town."
"Dirty laundry, what a wandering" should be "dirty laundry, what a quandary"
When I first head Anthony say the word "quandary" in this song, I completely connected to the song. It's amazing what effect certain lyrics or words in songs reach out to you. Great song all around. TOTALLY new sound from RHCP on this one, and it 100% works for me.
Flea is a genius.
