Red hot chili peppers dani california lyrics

Getting born in the state of Mississippi

Papa was a copper and mama was a hippie 

In Alabama she would swing a hammer

Price you gotta pay when you break the panorama

She never knew that there was anything more than poor

What in the world does your company take me for



Black bandana, sweet Louisiana

robbin' all a bank in the state of Indiana

She's a runner, rebel and a stunner

On her merry way sayin; baby whatcha gonna

Lookin' down the barrel of a hot metal 45

Just another way to survive



California rest in peace

Simultaneous release

California show your teeth

She's my priestess, I'm your priest

YEAH, YEAH



She's a lover baby and a fighter

Shoulda seen it coming when it got a little brighter

With a name like Dani California

The day was gonna come whe I was gonna mourn ya

A little loaded, she was stealing another breath

I love my baby to death



California rest in peace

Simultaneous release

California show your teeth

She's my priestess, I'm your priest

YEAH, YEAH



Who knew the other side of you?

Who knew that others died to prove

Too true to say good bye to you

Too true to say say say..



Push the fader gifted animator

One for the now and eleven for the later



Never made it up to Minnesota

North Dakota man was a gunning for the quota



Down in the badlands she was savin' the best for last

It only hurts when I laugh

Gone too fast..



California rest in peace

Simultaneous release,

California show your teeth,

She's my priestess, I'm your priest

YEAH, YEAH

California rest in peace

Simultaneous release,

California do your deed,

She's my priestess, I'm your priest

YEAH, YEAH
