About

“Purple Stain” is the thirteenth track off of Red Hot Chili Peppers' 1999 album Californication. It’s literally about dealing with a girl on her period.

Purple stain refers to a double entendre of a girl’s hair dye staining your pillow and a girl’s menstrual flow staining your everything.

Purple Stain Lyrics

[Verse 1]
To finger paint is not a sin
I put my middle finger in
Your monthly blood is what I win
I'm in your house now let me spin
Python power straight from Monty
Celluloid loves got a John Frusciante
Spread your head and spread the blanket
She's too free and I'm the patient

[Pre-Chorus]
A black and white, a red and blue
Ah, things that look good on you
And if I scream, don't let me go
A purple stain, I know

[Verse 2]
Knock on wood we all stay good
'Cause we all live in Hollywood
With Dracula and Darla Hood
Unspoken words were understood
Up to my ass in alligators
Let's get it on with the alligator haters
Did what you did, did what you said
What's the point? Yo, what's the spread?

[Pre-Chorus]
A black and white, a red and blue
Ah, things that look good on you
And if I scream, don't let me go
A purple stain, I know
And if I call for you to stay
Come hit the funk on your way
It's way out there but I don't care
'Cause this is where I go

[Chorus]
Knock on wood, we all stay good
'Cause we all live in Hollywood
With Dracula and Darla Hood
Unspoken words were understood
It's way out there but I don't care
'Cause this is what I want to wear
Knock on wood, we all stay good
'Cause we all live in Hollywood

[Verse 3]
To finger paint is not a sin
I put my middle finger in
Your monthly blood is what I win
I'm in your house now let me spin
Feather-light but you can't move this
Farley is an angel and I can prove this
Purple is a stain upon my pillow
Let's sleep, weeping willow

[Pre-Chorus]
A black and white, a red and blue
Ah, things that look good on you
And if I scream, don't let me go
A purple stain, I know
And if I call for you to stay
Come hit the funk on your way
It's way out there but I don't care
'Cause this is where I go

[Chorus]
Knock on wood, we all stay good
'Cause we all live in Hollywood
With Dracula and Darla Hood
Unspoken words were understood
It's way out there but I don't care
'Cause this is what I want to wear
Knock on wood, we all stay good
'Cause we all live in Hollywood
