Crimson Scorching Chili Peppers, “Eddie” Lyrics (by way of Genius)

Crusing the Sundown Strip, I am a little bit of a king
Granny would make a journey, I have been bending the strings
Received hammers in each my fingers, such a fragile contact
They are saying I am from Amsterdam, does that make me Dutch?

Please do not keep in mind me, for what I did final night time, oh
Please do not keep in mind me
Lord and kids
Please do not keep in mind me, it is solely 1980
It is solely 1983

Smoking the reefer, feeling my very own mild
My brother’s a keeper, I married a TV spouse
The satan’s Camaro, parked in thе highschool lot
Somewhat sombrero ‘trigger tеacher was method too sizzling

Please do not keep in mind me, for what I did final night time, oh
Please do not keep in mind me
Hear Lord now
Please do not keep in mind me, it is solely 1980
It is solely 1983

Inform my love “However depart me by no means”
Cannot complain in regards to the climate
Snowing on the rainbow, have a ball
Lower my tooth down on the whiskey
GTO’s tried to kiss me
Yet one more track, they’ve seen all of it

Please do not keep in mind me, for what I did final night time, oh
Please do not keep in mind me
What’d I say Lord?
Please do not keep in mind me, it is solely 1980
It is solely 1983
Please do not keep in mind me, for what I did with David
You already know I am talkin’ David Lee
Am I prepared?
Please do not keep in mind me, for what I did final night time, oh
I assume I performed a Flying V
