Right on Time Lyrics

[Verse 1: Anthony Kiedis]
One shot, all I need
I've got rhythm when I bleed

'Til death do us part
Break my heart so I can start

[Pre-Chorus 1: Anthony Kiedis]
Supercalifragilistic
Kiss me in the futuristic
Twisted but I must insist it's
Time to get on top of this

[Chorus: Anthony Kiedis, John Frusciante]
It's right on time
It's right on time
(It's right on time) It's right on time, it's right on time, it's right on time, it's right on time
(It's right on time) Looking fine, you're looking fine, let's get on 1999

[Verse 2: Anthony Kiedis]
Discard to bombard
Calling all you shooting stars
Holy cow, bow wow wow
Now I'm here, I'm nowhere now

[Pre-Chorus 2: Anthony Kiedis]
Joan of Arc reincarnated
Maybe we could be related
So much blood to circulate

And so much space to decorate
[Chorus: Anthony Kiedis, John Frusciante]
It's right on time
It's right on time
(It's right on time) It's right on time, it's right on time, it's right on time, it's right on time
(It's right on time) Looking fine, you're looking fine, let's get on 1999

[Bridge: John Frusciante]
It's right on time
It's right on time
It's right on time
It's right on time

[Verse 3: Anthony Kiedis]
Plain and simple pain
I want to but I can't complain
Death row, let us go
It's time to blow up for the show

[Pre-Chorus 3: Anthony Kiedis]
All the world reverberated
Coming through, we motorcaded
Start up when we operated
Turning up in solid stated

[Instrumental Break]
[Outro: Anthony Kiedis]
Oh, Lord!

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 [?]
