Red Hot Chili Peppers - Dani California lyrics

Gettin' born in the state of Mississippi
Poppa was a copper and her momma 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' a bank in the state of Indiana
She's a runner, rebel and a stunner
On her merry way sayin', "Baby
What you 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 her comin' when it
Got a little brighter
With a name like Dani California
Day was gonna come when I was gonna mourn ya

A little loaded
She was stealin' 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 what others died to prove?
Too true to say goodbye 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-gunnin' 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 (Do svidaniya)
Simultaneous release (California)
California, show your teeth (Do svidaniya)
She's my priestess, I'm your priest, yeah
Yeah
