MIDNIGHT - RHCP - BY THE WAY

Things will never be the same
Still I’m awfully glad I came
Resonating in the shape of things to come
Never waiting when I know there’s only one

Messed it up but rest assured
No one ever thinks they’re cured
Just a minute while I reinvent myself
Make it up and then I take it off the shelf

Over the laws of light
Over the Moon by midnight
Let’s do it all this time
Everyone wishing well we go

Everyone knows anything goes
We are the Lotus kids
Better take note of this
For the story

The Rising Moon is on the shine
The blood of Scorpio’s a Nine
Like the fear that’s in the eyes of every doe
Say in now ‘cause John and Jane would like to know

Is it safe inside your head ?
Songs to serenade The Dead
All along I said I know no enemies
Mix it up until there are no pedigrees

Enter the rolling tide...
Over the ocean so wide
Let’s do it all this time
Everyone wishing well we go

I’ve got myself
In a masochistic hold
Why don’t you let go
Shake it off
Just to redirect my flow
Come on let’s go

Sit up straight
I’m on a double date
I’ve got to find my way
Into the light, heavy, middle weight
We don’t stop, rock around the clock
Motor mouthing off
In front of every other road block

Come again and tell me
What you’re going thru
Like a girl who only knew
Her child was due

Memories of everything
Of lemon trees on Mercury
Come to me with remedies
From five or six of seven seas
You always took me with a smile
When I was down
Memories of everything
That blew thru

Looking up into
A reverse vertigo
What an undertow
Give it up
Another stubborn Scorpio
Come on, let’s go

Sit up straight

Come again
To the Moon she gave
Another Good review
Turn around and look at me
It’s really really you

Red Hot Chili Peppers - Can't Stop Lyrics
Artist: Red Hot Chili Peppers

Album: By The Way

Genre: Rock

Heyo! SONGLYRICS just got interactive. Highlight. Review: RIFF-it.
RIFF-it good.
Listen while you read!
Can't stop addicted to the shindig
Chop top, it says, I'm gonna win big
Choose not a life of imitation
Distant cousin to the reservation

De funk the pistol that you pay for
This punk the feeling that you stay for
In time I want to be your best friend
East side love is living on the west end

Knocked out but boy you better come to
Don't die you know the truth as some do
Go write your message on the pavement
Burn so bright I wonder what the wave meant

White heat is screaming in the jungle
Complete the motion if you stumble
Go ask the dust for any answers
Come back strong with fifty belly dancers

The world I love
The tears I drop Io be part of
The wave can't stop
Ever wonder if it's all for you

The world I love
The trains I hop to be part of
The wave can't stop
Come and tell me when it's time to

Sweetheart is bleeding in the snow cone
So smart she's leading me to ozone
Music the great communicator
Use two sticks to make it in the nature

I'll fit you into penetration
The gender of a generation
The birth of every other nation
Worth your weight the gold of meditation

This chapter's gonna to be a close one
Smoke rings I know your gonna blow one
All on a spaceship persevering
Use my hands for everything but steering

Can't stop the spirits when they need you
Mop tops are happy when they feed you
J. Butterfly is in the treetop
Words that blow the meaning into bebop

The world I love
The tears I drop Io be part of
The wave can't stop
Ever wonder if it's all for you

The world I love
The trains I hop to be part of
The wave can't stop
Come and tell me when it's time to

Wait a minute, I'm passing out, win or lose
just like you
Far more shocking than anything I ever knew
How about you?

Ten more reasons why I need somebody new
Just like you
Far more shocking than anything I ever knew
Right on cue

Can't stop addicted to the shindig
Chop top, it says, I'm gonna win big
Choose not a life of imitation
Distant cousin to the reservation

De funk the pistol that you pay for
This punk the feeling that you stay for
In time I want to be your best friend
East side love is living on the west end

Knocked out but boy you better come to
Don't die you know the truth is some do
Go write your message on the pavement
Burn so bright I wonder what the wave meant

Kick start the golden generator
Sweet talk but don't intimidate her
Can't stop the gods from engineering
Feel no need for any interfering

Your image in the dictionary
This life is more than ordinary
Can I get two maybe even three of these
Comin' from a space to teach you of the Pleiades

Can't stop the spirits when they need you
This life is more than just a read through

CAN'T STOP, ballerina...

CAN'T...

She makes the sign of a teaspoon
He makes the sign of a wave
The poor boy changes clothes
And puts on aftershave
To compensate for his ordinary shoes

And she said, “Honey take me dancing”
But they ended up by sleeping
In a doorway
By the bodegas and the lights on
Upper Broadway
Wearing diamonds on the soles of their shoes

And I could say Oo oo oo
And everybody here would know
What I was talking about
I mean, everybody here would know exactly
What I was talking about
Talking about diamonds

People say I’m crazy
I got diamonds on the soles of my shoes
Well, that’s one way to lose
These walking blues
Diamonds on the soles of your shoes

THE WAVE (known as the Mexican wave outside North America) is an example of metachronal rhythm achieved in a packed stadium when successive groups of spectators briefly stand, yell, and raise their arms. Immediately upon stretching to full height, the spectator returns to the usual seated position.

"Stand..."

The result is a wave of standing spectators that travels through the crowd, even though individual spectators never move away from their seats. In many large arenas the crowd is seated in a contiguous circuit all the way around the sport field, and so the wave is able to travel continuously around the arena; in discontiguous seating arrangements, the wave can instead reflect back and forth through the crowd. When the gap in seating is narrow, the wave can sometimes pass through it. Usually only one wave crest will be present at any given time in an arena, although simultaneous, counter-rotating waves have been produced.

Instructions: How To Do The Wave At Michigan Stadium

The first recorded Wave occurred in Oakland at an Athletics' playoff game against the New York Yankees on Oct. 15, 1981.

It was organized and led by professional cheerleader Krazy George Henderson and was seen by a national TV audience and captured on film. Sixteen days later on Halloween at the University of Washington in Seattle, former UW cheerleader Robb Weller -- back for a game as guest yell leader -- led fans in a Wave at Husky Stadium during the school's 42-31 victory over Stanford.

From there The Wave spread into every stadium, park and arena across the globe....

However, The Wave's biggest springboard proved to be the University of Washington.

After the game with Stanford, The Wave became a staple at Huskies games and was taken back to campuses across the country by visiting cheerleaders. At the same time, other Seattle teams -- notably the Seahawks and Sounders -- adopted it.

After Michigan played at Washington in 1983, Wolverines fans fell in love with The Wave at Michigan Stadium, says UM's Madej. At Michigan, fans developed all sorts of twists to it such as slow-motion Waves, reverse Waves and silent Waves.

"It created more fun," says Madej. And, with the huge crowds at "The Big House" in a completely enclosed stadium, it was a perfect showpiece for The Wave as it grew into an '80s sports phenomenon and traveling to Mexico -- where it is called "La Ola" -- in time for the 1986 World Cup.

MICHIGAN ~ The Great Lakes State ~ Admission to Union: January 26, 1837 (26th)

In the early fall of 1983, the Michigan Wolverines played the Huskies in Seattle and brought The Wave back to Michigan Stadium in Ann Arbor. A letter to the sports editor of The New York Times claimed, "There are three reasons why the wave caught on at Michigan Wolverine games: It gave the fans something to do when the team was leading its opponent by 40 points, it was thrilling and exciting to see 105,000 people in the stands moving and cheering, and Bo Schembechler asked us not to do it."

The fans responded to his request by doing more waves, including "Silent Waves" (standing and waving arms without cheering), "Shsh Waves" (replacing the cheering with a "shshing" sound), the "Fast Wave," the "Slow Wave," and two simultaneous waves traveling in opposite directions. The following spring, fans who had enjoyed the wave in Ann Arbor introduced it to the nearby Tiger Stadium in Detroit. The Tigers won the World Series that year and appeared on many televised games throughout 1984, so people all over America saw it.

Honey bee species with open combs (e.g., Apis dorsata) warn would-be predators with a signal that takes the form of a Mexican wave that spreads as a ripple across a layer of bees densely packed on the surface of the comb when a threat is perceived, and consists of bees momentarily arching their bodies and flicking their wings.
