In addition to Kiedis and Flea, the group originally featured guitarist Hillel Slovak and drummerJack Irons. Slovak, however, died of a heroin
overdose in 1988, resulting in Irons resigning.[1]Irons was replaced briefly by former Dead Kennedys drummer D. H. Peligro before the band
found a permanent replacement in Smith, while Slovak was replaced by up-and-coming guitarist Frusciante. This lineup recorded the band's
fourth and fifth albums, Mother's Milk (1989) andBlood Sugar Sex Magik (1991).
Blood Sugar Sex Magik became a pivotal record for the band; it thrust them into the mainstream with over thirteen million copies sold.
Frusciante grew uncomfortable with the band's success and left abruptly in 1992. Kiedis, Flea, and Smith employed Dave Navarro
ofJane's Addiction for their subsequent album, One Hot Minute (1995). It did not match the critical acclaim of Blood Sugar Sex Magik
and sold fewer than half the copies of its predecessor. Shortly afterwards, Navarro departed the band due to creative differences.
Frusciante, during his time away from the band in 1998, completed rehabilitation, rejoining the band at Flea's request. The reunited
foursome returned to the studio to record Californication(1999), which went on to sell fifteen million units worldwide, becoming their
most successful album to date. It was followed three years later with By the Way (2002), which continued their success. In 2006, the
group released the double album Stadium Arcadium. The band has won seven Grammy Awards. They have sold over fifty million
albums worldwide, have had seven singles in the Top 40 of the Billboard Hot 100 (including three singles in the Top 10), have had five #1
singles on the Mainstream Rock charts, and a record eleven #1 singles on the Modern Rock charts.[2]
Fully loaded we got snacks and supplies
It's time to leave this town
It's time to steal away
Let's go get lost
Anywhere in the U.S.A.
Chorus:
Let's go get lost
Let's go get lost
Blue you sit so pretty
West of the one
Sparkle light with yellow icing
Just a mirror for the sun
Just a mirror for the sun
Just a mirror for the sun
These Smiling eyes are just a mirror for
So much has come before those battles lost and won
This life is shining more forever in the sun
Now let us check our heads
And let us check the surf
Staying high and dry's
More trouble than it's worth
In the sun
Just a mirror for the sun
Just a mirror for the sun
These Smiling eyes are just a mirror for
In Big Sur we take some time to linger on
We three hunky dories got our snakefinger on
Now let us drink the stars
It's time to steal away
Let's go get lost
Right here in the U.S.A
Chorus
Let's go get lost
Let's go get lost
Blue you sit so pretty
West of the one
Sparkle light with yellow icing
Just a mirror for the sun
Just a mirror for the sun
Just a mirror for the sun
These smiling eyes are just a mirror for
These smiling eyes are just a mirror for
Your smiling eyes are just a mirror for
