Dark Necessities

Written by：Josh Adam Klinghoffer/Michael Peter Balzary/Anthony Kiedis/Chad Gaylord Smith/Brian Joseph Burton

Coming on to the light of day we got

Many moons that are deep at play so I

Keep an eye on the shadow smile

To see what it has to say

You and I both know

Everything must go away

What do you say

Spinning knot that is on my heart is like a

Bit of light and a touch of dark you got

Sneak attack from the zodiac

But I see your fire spark

Eat the breeze and go

Blow by blow and go away

What do you say

Yeah

You don't know my mind

You don't know my kind

Dark necessities are part of my design and

Tell the world that I'm

Falling from the sky

Dark necessities are part of my design

Stumble down to the parking lot you got

No time for the afterthought they're like

Ice cream for an astronaut

Well that's me looking for we

Turn the corner and

Find the world at your command

Playing the hand

Yeah

You don't know my mind

You don't know my kind

Dark necessities are part of my design

Tell the world that I'm

Falling from the sky

Dark necessities are part of my design

Do you want this love of mine

Darkness helps us all to shine

Do you want it do you want it now

Do you want it all the time

But darkness helps us all to shine

Do you want it do you want it now

Pick you up like a paper back with the

Track record of a maniac so I

Move it in and we unpack

It's the same as yesterday

Any way we roll

Everything must go away what do you say

Yeah

You don't know my mind

You don't know my kind

Dark necessities are part of my design

Tell the world that I'm

Falling from the sky

Dark necessities are part of my design
