Sometimes I feel
Like I don't have a partner
Sometimes I feel
Like my only friend
Is the city I live in
The city of Angels
Lonely as I am
Together we cry
I drive on her streets
'Cause she's my companion
I walk through her hills
'Cause she knows who I am
She sees my good deeds and
She kisses me windy and
I never worry
Now that is a lie
I don't ever wanna feel
Like I did that day
Take me to the place I love
Take me all the way
I don't ever want to feel
Like I did that day
Take me to the place I love
Take me all that way (yeah yeah yeah)
It's hard to believe
That there's nobody out there
It's hard to believe
That I'm all alone
At least I have her love
The city she loves me
Lonely as I am
Together we cry
I don't ever wanna feel
Like I did that day
Take me to the place I love
Take me all the way
I don't ever want to feel
Like I did that day
Take me to the place I love
Take me all the way (yeah yeah yeah)
Ooh no (no no yeah yeah)
Love me I say yeah yeah
Under the bridge downtown
Is where I drew some blood
Under the bridge "
I could not get enough
Under the bridge "
Forgot about my love
Under the bridge "
I gave my life away (yeah yeah yeah)
Ooh no (no no yeah yeah)
Here I stay yeah yeah
It's a poem Kiedis wrote when he was depressed and roaming the city after shooting up under the bridge in L.A. with some gangbangers. He initially refused to show the band members the song because he felt it made him seem weak but John Frusciante made him read it and instantly came up with the guitar riff, thus the song was born.
-Scar Tissue by Anthony Kiedis
is his autobiograhpy which details this
Under the bridge is where Anthony Keidis would shoot up (or draw blood). It was kind of a remembrance song to his late bandmate Hilel. More adament fans may be able to add more to the story... but that's when the band realized how scary drugs can get.
