Red Hot Chili Peppers - Coffee Shop

"Coffee Shop" by the Red Hot Chili Peppers is a track from their 1995 album "One Hot Minute." The song showcases the band's unique blend of rock, funk, and alternative sounds. Lyrically, it captures themes of longing, introspection, and the simple pleasure of hanging out in a café setting.

Historically, "One Hot Minute" is notable because it's the only album featuring guitarists Dave Navarro, who brought a different musical influence compared to previous guitarist John Frusciante. The album came during a transitional phase for the band, who had experienced personal and musical changes following the departure of Frusciante and the death of guitarist Hillel Slovak.

The song itself has a laid-back vibe, with engaging rhythms and catchy melodies that make it a fan favorite. It reflects a mix of the band's funky style while also incorporating a more serious tone in the lyrics, capturing the essence of the band's ability to blend elements of fun and depth in their music.

Red Hot Chili Peppers - Coffee Shop Lyrics

I am just a lousy bum
Searching for the unknown crumb
The crumb, the crumb
Something or someone to come
Come along, illuminate my lust
Combust
Confucius might have been confused
And Buddha might have blown a fuse
I ooze the muse

Meet me at the coffee shop
We can dance like Iggy Pop
Another go in the parking lot
A freaking cheek on your hot spot

Back and forth, my body's jerking
Will to thrill will not stop working
Work and work
I'll take you on a honeymoon
Jumping on a bed in a hotel room
The room, the room

Meet me at the coffee shop
We can dance like Iggy Pop
Another go in the parking lot
A freaking cheek on your hot spot

Meet me at the coffee shop
We can dance like Iggy Pop
Another go in the parking lot
A freaking cheek on your hot spot
