"One Way Traffic" lyrics - RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS

RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS
"One Way Traffic"

Come from the sun in San Marino
Guess that makes me Angeleno
Friends got married, had them dogs
Now they read those catalogs
This commerce makes me nauseous (Ah)
When did life get so damn cautious?
So I drive in search of smiles
XM on, let's check out Miles

[Pre-Chorus:]
This slice of life when you're out on the road
Is always extra nice when there's someone to hold

[Chorus:]
Ay-oh, way-oh
Would you be my traffic jam?
Ay-oh, way-oh
Spirographic anagram
Ay-oh, way-oh
Would you be my traffic jam?
Ay-oh, way-oh
Would you be mine?

Anyway, I was headed south
Taste of coffee in my mouth
Up that off-ramp 405
Angry drivers on both sides
Got a call from my good friend Dave
He said, "Yo, let's get that wave"
I said, "Yes, just tell me where"
Board's up top, wind in my hair
From the mind of Frida Kahlo
Show me love and I will follow
From the words of my old man (Old man)
Conversations in the sand

[Pre-Chorus:]
This slice of life when you're out on the road
Is always extra nice when there's someone to hold

[Chorus:]
Ay-oh, way-oh
Would you be my traffic jam?
Ay-oh, way-oh
Spirographic anagram
Ay-oh, way-oh
Would you be my traffic jam?
Ay-oh, way-oh
Would you be mine?

[Bridge:]
I got a slice of life that's built for you
Oh, now, come and give me something to spread my bread onto (Onto)
T-t-t, t-t-t, time and time again, we get a window and a clue
Time and time again, life-changing rendezvous

Anyway, made a left on third
Got distracted, jumped that curb
Unaware and on her walk
I hit the brakes, made time to talk
She said, "Can I get that ride?"
Oh my God, just get inside
It was all that I imagined
Born to ride, enthusiasm
Packed our bags and headed west
PCH, I'm so impressed
My friends said, "Havin' fun yet?"
We drove off into the sunset

[Pre-Chorus:]
This slice of life when you're out on the road
Is always extra nice when there's someone to hold

[Chorus:]
Ay-oh, way-oh
Would you be my traffic jam?
Ay-oh, way-oh
Spirographic anagram
Ay-oh, way-oh
Would you be my traffic jam?
Ay-oh, way-oh
Would you be mine?

[Outro:]
Would you be mine?
Would you be mine?
Would you be mine?
Would you be mine? (Be mine, woah)

[Bass solo]
