Red Hot Chili Peppers - Dani California Lyrics

Complimentary "Dani California" Ringtone

Gettin' 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 word does your company take me for

Black bandana, sweet Louisiana
Robbin' on a bank in the state of Indiana
She's a runner, rebel and a stunner
On her merry was sayin' baby watcha' 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 comin' when it got a little brighter
With a name like Dani California
The day was gonna come when 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 what others died to prove
Too true to say goodbye to you
To 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
Nort Dakota man was a gunnin' for the quota'

Down in the badlands she was saving 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 show your teeth
She's my priestess; I'm your priest
Yeah, yeah
