  • Warlocks in wonderland
    I've gotta megatropolis in my hand
    And a, subterranean marching band
    Makin' noise for the man in the Vatican
    And a

    A little package and off we go
    Oh, ticky ticky tackita tic tac toe
    I know, everybody's Eskimo
    We've got another thing coming
    And that's our show, well

    Every night I go looking for you
    Everyone in the world adores you
    A little pocket of something kind
    To find your reason
    Coming up on it everyday for
    Look at me and it's what I stay for
    A little locket of fantasy
    That we believe in

    Lilacs and contraband
    I've got Santa Monica in my hand
    A little, Beatlemania when I can
    And I've got two big bags of old Japan

    Ring side and blow-by-blow
    Another, main event at the old rainbow
    We're comin', right on top of the tupelo
    When she looks just like Brigitte Bardot

    Every night I go looking for you
    Everyone in the world adores you
    A little pocket of something kind
    To find your reason
    Coming up on it every day for
    Look at me and it's what I stay for
    A little locket of fantasy
    That we believe in

    Make a deal with Uncle Weezer
    Sign your name to claim
    China Chow will try to please her
    Sweetness came from Jane

    Warlocks in wonderland
    I've gotta, Rockapotamus in my hand
    With a, happy ending that's made of sand
    With a little bit of lovin' is all I can

    Every night I go looking for you
    Everyone in the world adores you
    A little pocket of something kind
    To find your reason
    Coming up on it every day for
    Look at me and it's what I stay for
    A little locket of fantasy
    That we believe in

    Every night I go looking for you
    Everyone in the world adores you
    A little pocket of something kind
    To find your reason
    Coming up on it every day for
    Look at me and it's what I stay for
    A little locket of fantasy
    That we believe in Writer/s: Anthony Kiedis, Chad Smith, John Anthony Frusciante, Michael Balzary

  • Kyle from Tolland, Ctif this is a tribute to the power and growth of music, then the warlock probably refers to the grateful dead. they were known as the warlocks before they became the grateful dead. also, the line about Jane could also refer to "sweet jane" by the velvet underground instead of jane's addiction. oh and tupelo is the town elvis was born in.
  • Patrick from Raytown, MoA bit of a correction. Male witches are simply witches, the same as females. "Warlock" is a term which means "oath breaker". A witch, male or female, can become warlocked by revealing coven secrets, tricks of the trade, so to speak. It is a term of dishonor, and not a name for a male witch.
  • Kris from Bay City, Mi( Ring side and blow by blow another main event at the old rainbow)is a reference to when he would go with blackie/ his dad too the rainbow club in LA and do lines of coke with his dad and his dads friends ringside
  • Kria C. from Skagland, SlovakiaYeah, let's shoot everyone who thinks the Chili's sold out because IMO this is their best album to date (Mother's Milk being a close second)
  • Alex from Boucherville (montreal), QcAm I the only one but this song kinda seems related to drugs? It's a free interpretation, but "Every night I go looking for you, everyone in the world adores you, little pocket of something kind" the Blow by Blow thing, the psychedelic and absurd lyrics, and if we know about Kiedis addictions, it seems logical that it could be about drugs, yeah... altough "power of music" (whatever it means) can be related to drugs effect, like love or anything in the world, if we do a little imagination effort.
  • Grayson from Cleveland, Ohvery funky song. no way they sold out
  • Nicole from Chicago, IlIt really bugs me when people act like the Chili Peppers "sold out" on this album, because this song totally has funk, and the lyric "ticky ticky tackita tic tac toe" is totally true to their roots.
