Lirik lagu Red Hot Chili Peppers - White Braids & Pillow Chair dan Terjemahan
Judul lagu ini terinspirasi oleh pertemuan nyata vokalis utama Anthony Kiedis dengan pasangan lansia di sebuah kedai kopi. Kiedis menggambarkan pria tersebut memiliki rambut panjang putih seperti kepang, dan pasangannya membawa bantal sendiri untuk diletakkan di kursi. Adegan yang menyentuh ini menginspirasi Kiedis untuk menulis lagu ini.
Lirik Terjemahan
I'm a tangled tiger
And I want to rip it all to shreds so I
Can ask it why
She's a loaded cobra
And she wanted to be with me for the ride
In a Sunday diner
I'm reminded there's no finer place to kiss
Than one like this
But babe, I can see what's right with you
White braids and pillow (Chair)
Babe, I could spend my nights with you
This pussy willow
Babe, I can see all sides of you
White braids and pillow chair
I don't know what I would do
Without your pillow
She's a Bobby Darin
Singing to the fish and herring sacrifice
Oh, that's her knife
There's a Karmann Ghia
Parked out back and we believe it is alive
You can see the river
Running through my devastated concrete eyes
They don't deny
But babe, I can see what's right with you
White braids and pillow (Chair)
Babe, I could spend my nights with you
This pussy willow
Babe, I can see all sides of you
White braids and pillow (Chair)
Babe, I don't know what I would do
California blue
Sing to you
Things to do
California blue
Sing to you
Deep Ventura sky
Rolling by
Rolling wide
Deep Ventura sky
Rolling by
Santa Cruz in June
Be the gloom
Surf the moon
Santa Cruz in June
Surf the moon
San Francisco Bay
Safe to say
Paved the way
San Francisco Bay
Paved the way
