Dani California - Red Hot Chili Peppers
Gettin born in the state of Mississippi,
Papa was a copper and mama was hippy,
In Alabama she would swing a hammer,
Price you gotta pay when you pick 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 on a bank in the state of Indiana,
Shes a runner, rebel and a stunner,
Come in everywhere saying baby wat'cha gonna!?
Looking down a barrel of a hot metal 45,
Just another way to survive,
CHORUS
California rest in peace
Simultaneous released,
California show your teeth,
Shes my priestess I'm your priest,
Yeah yeah
Shes a lover baby and a fighter,
I should have seen it comin when it got a little brighter,
With a name like Dani California,
They where gonna come when i was gonna mourn you,
A little older and shes takin another breath,
I love my baby to death,
CHORUS
California rest in peace
Simultaneous released,
California show your teeth,
Shes my priestess I'm your priest,
Yeah yeah
Who knew the harder side of you,
Who knew the hardest time to prove,
Too true to say goodbye to you,
Too true to say,say,say........
Twit the fader , gifted animater,
One for the now and a little for the later,
Never made it up to Minnesota,
North Dakota man was a gunning for the product,
Down in the badlands she was saving the best for last,
It only hurts when i laugh, gone too fast.
CHORUS (x2)
California rest in peace
Simultaneous released,
California show your teeth,
Shes my priestess I'm your priest,
Yeah yeah
