Torture Me Lyrics
[Verse 1: Anthony Kiedis with John Frusciante]
Because I'm happy to be sad
I want it all, I want it bad
Ooh-oh-oh-oh-oh, it's what I know
A vintage year for pop I hear, the middle of the end is near
Let's go, oh-oh-oh-oh
It's what I know
[Chorus: Anthony Kiedis, John Frusciante]
Torture me and torture me
Forcing me and so torture me, please
(Oh, no, my Lord)
Torture me with sorcery
(Oh, no, my time)
Forcing me, so torture me, please
(Whoa)
[Verse 2: Anthony Kiedis with John Frusciante]
All the leaves are turning brown
The wind is pushing me around
Let's go, oh-oh-oh-oh
It's what I know
[Chorus: Anthony Kiedis, John Frusciante]
Torture me and torture me
It's forcing me and so torture me, please
(Oh, no, my Lord)
Torture me with sorcery
(Oh, no, my time)
Forcing me, so torture me, please
Because I'm happy to be sad
I want it all, I want it bad
Ooh-oh-oh-oh-oh, it's what I know
A vintage year for pop I hear, the middle of the end is near
Let's go, oh-oh-oh-oh
It's what I know
[Chorus: Anthony Kiedis, John Frusciante]
Torture me and torture me
Forcing me and so torture me, please
(Oh, no, my Lord)
Torture me with sorcery
(Oh, no, my time)
Forcing me, so torture me, please
(Whoa)
[Verse 2: Anthony Kiedis with John Frusciante]
All the leaves are turning brown
The wind is pushing me around
Let's go, oh-oh-oh-oh
It's what I know
[Chorus: Anthony Kiedis, John Frusciante]
Torture me and torture me
It's forcing me and so torture me, please
(Oh, no, my Lord)
Torture me with sorcery
(Oh, no, my time)
Forcing me, so torture me, please
[Bridge: Anthony Kiedis with John Frusciante]
The will of God is standing still
Brazilian children get their fill, let's go
Let's turn it up and dumb it down
The vision of your ultra sound is so—
But all the leaves are turning brown
The wind is pushing me around, let's go
A vintage year for pop I hear
The middle of the end is near, it's so—
(Oh!)
[Guitar Solo: John Frusciante]
[Chorus: Anthony Kiedis, John Frusciante]
(Oh, no, my Lord)
Torture me and torture me
(Oh, no, my time)
It's forcing me, so torture me, please
(Oh, no, my Lord)
Torture me with sorcery
(Oh, no, my time, baby)
Forcing me, so torture me, please
(Oh, no, my Lord)
Torture me and torture me
(Oh, no, my time)
It's forcing me and so torture me, please
(Oh, no, my Lord)
Torture me with sorcery
(Oh, no, my time)
Forcing me, so torture me, please
The will of God is standing still
Brazilian children get their fill, let's go
Let's turn it up and dumb it down
The vision of your ultra sound is so—
But all the leaves are turning brown
The wind is pushing me around, let's go
A vintage year for pop I hear
The middle of the end is near, it's so—
(Oh!)
[Guitar Solo: John Frusciante]
[Chorus: Anthony Kiedis, John Frusciante]
(Oh, no, my Lord)
Torture me and torture me
(Oh, no, my time)
It's forcing me, so torture me, please
(Oh, no, my Lord)
Torture me with sorcery
(Oh, no, my time, baby)
Forcing me, so torture me, please
(Oh, no, my Lord)
Torture me and torture me
(Oh, no, my time)
It's forcing me and so torture me, please
(Oh, no, my Lord)
Torture me with sorcery
(Oh, no, my time)
Forcing me, so torture me, please
About
Genius Annotation
A memorable bass riff launches the listener right into the fast-paced action and gives them little to no time to think before the verse starts, as lead singer Anthony Kiedis' hallucinated performance and lyrics take the tension in the track to the next level.
The song was played live only five times: the first one happened on April 23, 2006 in Copenhagen, Denmark, while the last one took place in Berlin, Germany, on June 15, 2006.
