Open/Close - Red Hot Chili Peppers (紅辣椒樂隊)

So we were down in Brazil and man

That place is wild

We were in Rio de Janeiro

And uh we had this this sort of uh

Security-guard type guy

And he was supposed to take us around and say hey

Could you know could you take us to the

The favelas and show us the prostitution

And the ** deals and the night fights and the

You know the street life of your town

And he said sure so we we pull up to this hooker

And she's wearing some kind of a

A bright green miniskirt and it turns out it's a transsexual

And he says "Get over here " and she comes over

And she thinks she's busted but she's not busted

Naw she's not busted

He just wanted to smack her on the a** a few times

And say "Hey what's up girl "

Get out of bed and I clear up my head

And I don't want to go but I do it instead

We all dream within a dream

Get into bed and I turn off my head

And I started to float but I sunk

When she said "we're all dreams within a dream"

So I remember we got our driver's license

And my friend Hillel had this little Dodson painted green and

Hollywood would get so crazy in the winter--the rains would come

And the hills would just kind of melt down into the city lights

And well you know we smoked w**d

And we'd go up in the hills

And we'd listen to progressive rock music

And just kind of trip out and

Well we would dream you know we would dream

And we would talk about what we wanted to do

And we would talk about girls and music

And you know Hillel wanted to be a rock star

I didn't even know what that was I was like

Whatever you wanna do man I'm coming with you

I'm right with you my friend

Get out of bed and I clear up my head

And I don't want to go but I do it instead

We all dream within a dream

Get into bed and I turn off my head

And I started to float but I sunk

When she said "we're all dreams within a dream"

(La la la )

Why in the world would you want it to be

Why would you wanna take it so so literally

All these things that come down from the sky

Raining upon your head

Make you stop and wonder why--ah

Can't they just spell it out

Make it clear make it easy to read for the simple man like me

I don't think so

I reach out to my family and I say

It's not about religion

And the God sitting in a chair in the sky with a punishing hand oh

It's about heaven in your heart

Now when shall we start

I wanna choose love instead of fear

Won't you come right now over here and be a part of my

(Ah)

This time

I love you
