Red Hot Chili Peppers - especially in michigan

화자는 미시간을 배경으로 인생을 친구로 삼아 다양한 경험을 나누고, 그곳의 풍경과 사람들에 대한 애정 어린 묘사를 한다
구름, 물고기잡이, 비 오는 날의 춤, 그리고 행운을 훔치려는 동물들 등 상징이 가득하다
결국, 이 노래는 행복한 순간들을 기억하고 미래에 대한 희망을 노래한다

Life is my friend, rake it up to take it in
Wrap me in your cinnamon, especially in Michigan
Well, I could be your friend
White clouds, I'm in a mitten full of fisherman
Come on, Huckleberry Finn, show me how to make her grin
Well, I'm in Michigan
Cry me a future where the revelations run amok
Ladies and gentlemen
Lions and tigers come runnin' just to steal your luck, uh-uh-uh-uck
John Frusciante]
A rainy Lithuanian, who's dancin' as an Indian
Painted in my tiger skin, especially in Michigan
Double chins and bowling pins, unholy Presbyterians
Land is full of medicine, I find it when I'm slippin' in
The tainted new librarian, who fainted when she tucked you in
All into Michigan
Float away like zeppelins on stoic gusts of Northern wind
Cry me a future where the revelations run amok
Ladies and gentlemen
Lions and tigers come runnin' just to steal your luck, uh-uh-uh-uck
Out on the farm, we'll be swimmin' with the mother duck
Deep in the mitten where
Lions and tigers come runnin' just to steal your luck, uh-uh-uh-uck
