Song lyrics
Psychic spies from China
Try to steal your mind's elation
Little girls from Sweden
Dream of silver screen quotations
And if you want these kind of dreams
It's Californication

It's the edge of the world
And all of western civilization
The sun may rise in the East
At least it settles in the final location
It's understood that Hollywood
sells Californication

Pay your surgeon very well
To break the spell of aging
Celebrity skin is this your chin
Or is that war your waging

[Chorus:]
First born unicorn
Hard core soft porn
Dream of Californication
Dream of Californication

Marry me girl be my fairy to the world
Be my very own constellation
A teenage bride with a baby inside
Getting high on information
And buy me a star on the boulevard
It's Californication

Space may be the final frontier
But it's made in a Hollywood basement
Cobain can you hear the spheres
Singing songs off station to station
And Alderaan's not far away
It's Californication

Born and raised by those who praise
Control of population everybody's been there
and
I don't mean on vacation

[Chorus]

Destruction leads to a very rough road
But it also breeds creation
And earthquakes are to a girl's guitar
They're just another good vibration
And tidal waves couldn't save the world
From Californication

Pay your surgeon very well
To break the spell of aging
Sicker than the rest
There is no test
But this is what you're craving

[Chorus]

I hadn't heard this song until my fiancee had me listen to it. I've fallen in love with this band and their form of expression. I really want to do a piece of art work based on their music but I can't figure out what image to pen down on paper, there's so many that come to mind. I love what they're about and what they have to say. This song in particular always makes my heart miss a beat and I find myself lost in the music. My favorite lines are:
"Destruction leads to a very rough road
But it also breeds creation
And earthquakes are to a girl's guitar
They're just another good vibration
And tidal waves couldn't save the world
From Californication"

And the video was a wonderful way to show the cultural ideals of California.

Oh and by the way, i remember when i was just a little boy and the guy on the music video was swimming without a shirt in ice cold water so i asked my dad:

Shouldnt he be freezing?

Thats so funny still laughing about that.
