Lyrics John Frusciante – A Firm Kick

A firm kick in the pants
This last chance
To get things right

This was one time I

Look out
For yourself tonight
Sometimes
I have to get things right

I never meant what I said to you
Give up all the things that you love to do
I’d never guess that you’d do me wrong
I’ll never accept that dance and song

A little time to adjust
Would be just
What we need

I’ve meant to tell you what I think
That you think
When I cross your mind

Forgone
Stressed at the light
What’s wrong
With being uptight

I never say what I intend to
But does it mean that much to you?
I’d a close call with a glitch in time
Are you really that happy to be mine?

No, I’m not disguising
All that fighting

I will play some
Light from the sun
The world by my side

And I will see dawn
As a forlorn
Maiden in the sky

And I will play
A song of thunder
You may recognize

You make a never
That’s forever
Knowing what you deny

When I revisit the past
It’s a blast
I just gotta move on

I’ve just let down someone
I relied on
And I don’t see why

How’d we pretty-up that speech?
MC talking through me

I’ve never done what I set out to do
Don’t come to me ’cause I’ll run from you

Left out of life. Would I really care?
Not a whole lot. There’s nothing for me there

I’ll never forget
The limits that we set
Back when it was our moon

And I never made a pretense
Of living with good sense
It’s really not my strong suit
