Pink as Floyd Lyrics

[Chorus 1]
Say what you need to say
Make it clear, make it great
'Cause it's not too late and there's no mistake
When you shine
Shake it for me anyway
Now we crash the gate to investigate
Your fate

[Verse]
Pleasure to meet you, got so much more
To offer the world, see what's in store
Stay all day
Someone to love, that's my boy chip chop
Open the doors and we never close shop
Stay all day

[Chorus 2]
Take what you need to take
To forsake
Make it for me anyway
When we fill the void that is Pink As Floyd
To destroy
Records that we file away
Now we'll clean the slate as we calculate
Your fate
[Verse]
Pleasure to meet you, got so much more
To offer the world, see what's in store
Stay all day
Someone to love, that's my boy chip chop
Open the doors and we never close shop
Stay all day

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
And you shine, as you redefine
Your time
Just another time of day
Do you feel the spark when you play the part?
Superstar
Fake it for me anyway
Time to tell them all without hem or haw
No applause
Tell them how to generate

[Chorus 4]
How to raise the bar, how to keep it hard
Be alive
Make it for me anyway
If you care at all you will bare it all
You will grind
Shake it for me anyway
[Outro]
Born to play the part, dying for your art
'Cause it's time
Take it for me anyway
You will clear the air with a single stare
Your fate

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

About

This song bio is unreviewed
Genius Annotation

Pink as Floyd is a welcoming song to Josh Klinghoffer, a former guitarist who joined shortly before these sessions. John Frusciante, the band’s previous and current guitarist, is incredibly well-known and beloved, often being named one of the greatest guitarists of all time. This song tells Klinghoffer that Frusciante may have an impressive legacy, but that should serve as motivation for Klinghoffer to be the best guitarist he could be.
