Walkabout Lyrics
And find out what it's all about
Just me and my own two feet
In the heat I've got myself to meet
A detective of perspective I
Need to try to get a bigger eye
I could learn the art of life
On a walk I could find a wife
On a walkabout
You could do it in a zone
You could do it in a dessert
You could do the unknown
On a walkabout
So flyÑyou've got to wonder why
The stingrays must be fat this year
Moving slow in my lowest gear
The digirido original man with a dream
I believe the Aborigine
On a walkabout
You could do it with a stroll
You could do it with a stride
You could do it all alone
On a walkabout
At homeÑI've got to get along
A walk could cure most all my blues
bare feet or in my two shoe
Bloodwood flowers in my gaze
Walkabout in a sunny daze
On a walkabout
Find out what it's all about
Just me and my own two feet
In the heat I've got myself to meet
Use your legs to rock it wide
Take a ride to the other side

A walkabout is an Australian aborigine coming of age ceremony where the youth goes into the wilderness by themselves to receive enlightment and that stuff. So thats what RHCP's talking about, going on a walkabout, you can do it anywhere, finding out what its all about with just their feet. Peace.

actually he originally wrote the lyrics to this song while waiting to shoot the video for 'give it away' in the dessert. sean is right, he wrote it on a walk through the dessert, theres a poem he published to his fans a while back which talks about him wandering the dessert painted silver..

this song is completely about the australian aborigines' "walkabouts" where they connect with their spiritual world, the "dreamtime."
i will go part by part supporting this...
the first verse is about trying to find your place in this world, just as the aborigines do. "Learn the art of life"
the next part tells us that you can go on a "walkabout" just about anywhere and find meaning to life. as long as you are really searching it will work.
"The digirido original man with a dream I believe the Aborigine" the didgeridoo is the most known instrument of the aborigines, said to be the first wind instrument ever. "man with a dream" is reffering to the "dreamtime"
"You could do it with a shuffle You could do it with a stroll You could do it with a stride You could do it all alone" there is no set way to find what we're all about, whatever is most comfortable to you.
the last verse sums up the song. go on a walkabout to meet who you really are.
my first comment hope you like
