By the Way Songtext
von Red Hot Chili Peppers

Standing in line
To see the show tonight
And there′s a light on
Heavy glow

By the way I tried to say
I'll be there
Waiting for

Dani the girl
Is singing songs to me
Beneath the marquee
Overload

Steak-knife
Card shark
Con job
Boot cut

Skin that flick
She′s such a little DJ
Get there quick
By street but not the freeway


Turn that trick
To make a little leeway
Beat that nic
But not the way that we play

Dog town
Blood bath
Rib cage
Soft tail

Standing in line
To see the show tonight
And there's a light on
Heavy glow

By the way I tried to say
I'd be there
Waiting for

Black jack
Dope dick
Pawn shop
Quick pick

Kiss that dyke
I know you want to hold one
Not on strike
But I′m about to bowl one


Bite that mic
I know you never stole one
Girls that like
A story so I told one

Song bird
Main line
Cash back
Hard top

Standing in line
To see the show tonight
And there′s a light on
Heavy glow

By the way I tried to say
I'd be there
Waiting for

Dani the girl
Is singing songs to me
Beneath the marquee
Of her soul

By the way I tried to say
I′d be there
Waiting for

Oh ah, kissed ya then I missed ya
Oh ah, kissed ya then I missed ya
Oh ah, kissed ya then I missed ya
Oh ah, kissed ya then I missed ya
Oh ah, kissed ya then I missed ya
Oh ah, kissed ya then I missed ya
Oh ah, kissed ya then I missed ya
Oh ah

Standing in line
To see the show tonight
And there's a light on
Heavy glow

By the way I tried to say
I′d be there
Waiting for

Dani the girl
Is singing songs to me
Beneath the marquee
Of her soul

By the way I tried to say
I know you
From before

Standing in line
To see the show tonight
And there's a light on
Heavy glow

By the way I tried to say
I′d be there
Waiting for
