Lyrics of Scar Tissue by Red Hot Chili Peppers

verse

Scar tissue that I wish you saw
Sarcastic mister know it all
Close your eyes and I′ll kiss you 'cause
With the birds I′ll share

chorus

With the birds I'll share this lonely viewin'
With the birds I′ll share this lonely viewin′

verse

Push me up against the wall
Young Kentucky girl in a push-up bra
Ah, fallin' all over myself
To lick your heart and taste your health, cause

chorus

With the birds I′ll share this lonely viewin'
With the birds I′ll share this lonely viewin'
With the birds I′ll share this lonely view

verse

Blood loss in a bathroom stall
Southern girl with a scarlet drawl
Wave good-bye to ma' and pa' cause
With the birds I′ll share

chorus

With the birds I′ll share this lonely viewin'
With the birds I′ll share this lonely viewin'

verse

Soft spoken with a broken jaw
Step outside but not to brawl
Autumn′s sweet we call it fall
I'll make it to the moon if I have to crawl and

chorus

With the birds I′ll share this lonely viewin'
With the birds I'll share this lonely viewin′
With the birds I′ll share this lonely view

verse

Scar tissue that I wish you saw
Sarcastic mister know it all
Close your eyes and I'll kiss you cause
With the birds I′ll share

chorus

With the birds I'll share this lonely viewin′
With the birds I'll share this lonely viewin′
With the birds I'll share this lonely view
