Dark Necessities

“Dark Necessities” is the first single of the album “The Getaway” that will be released on June 17th. The song is a sturdy, energetic RHCP single featuring some prototypical bass funk from Flea, druggy confessions from Anthony Kiedis and some unexpected disco keys.

[Verse 1] Comin' on to the light of day, we got Many moons that are deep at play so I Keep an eye on the shadow smile to see what it has to say You and I both know, everything must go away Ah, what do you say? Spinnin' knot that is on my heart is like a Bit of light in a touch of dark, you got Sneak attack from the zodiac but I see your fire spark Eat the breeze and go, blow by blow and go away Oh, what do you say? Yeah [Chorus] You don't know my mind, you don't know my kind Dark necessities are part of my design and Tell the world that I'm falling from the sky Dark necessities are part of my design [Verse 2] Stumble down to the parking lot, you got No time for the afterthought, they're like Ice Cream for an Astronaut, well, that's me looking for we Turn the corner and find the world at your command Playin' the hand, yeah [Chorus] You don't know my mind, you don't know my kind Dark necessities are part of my design Tell the world that I'm falling from the sky Dark necessities are part of my design [Bridge] Do you want this love of mine? Darkness helps us all to shine Do you want it, do you want it now? Do you want it all the time? But darkness helps us all to shine Do you want it, do you want it now? [Verse 3] Ah, pick you up like a paperback with the Track record of a maniac so I Move it in and we unpack, it's the same as yesterday Any way we roll, everything must go away Oh, what do you say? Yeah [Chorus] You don't know my mind, you don't know my kind Dark necessities are part of my design Tell the world that I'm falling from the sky and Dark necessities are part of my design [Outro] Ah-ah-ah Ah-ah Ah-ah-ah Ah-ah Ah-ah-ah Ah-ah Ah-ah-ah Ah-ah
