Lyrics of Dosed by Red Hot Chili Peppers
verse
I got dosed by you and
Closer than most to you and
What am I supposed to do?
Take it away, I never had it anyway
Take it away and everything will be okay
In you a star is born and
You cut a perfect form and
Someone forever warm
Lay on, lay on, lay on, lay on
Lay on, lay on, lay on, lay on
chorus
Way upon the mountain, where she died
All I ever wanted was your life
Deep inside the canyon, I can′t hide
All I ever wanted was your life
verse
Show love with no remorse and
Climb onto your seahorse and
This ride is right on course
This is the way I wanted it to be with you
This is the way I knew that it would be with you
Lay on, lay on, lay on, lay on
Lay on, lay on, lay on, lay on
chorus
Way upon the mountain, where she died
All I ever wanted was your life
Deep inside the canyon, I can't hide
All I ever wanted was your life
verse
I got dosed by you and
Closer than most to you and
What am I supposed to do
Take it away, I never had it anyway
Take it away and everything will be okay
chorus
Way upon the mountain, where she died
All I ever wanted was your life
Deep inside the canyon I can′t hide
All I ever wanted was your life
Writer(s): Michael Balzary, John Frusciante, Anthony Kiedis, Chad Smith
