Dani California

Gettin' born in the state of Mississippi
Papa was a copper and 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 mefor

Black bandana, sweet Louisiana
Robbin' on a bank in the state of Indiana
She's a runner, rebel and a stunner
Condemned everywhere sayin' baby whatcha gonna
Lookin down the barrel of a hot metal .45
Just another way to survive
Chorus:
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
she shoulda seen it comin when it got a little brighter
with a name like Dani California
The day was gonna come whenI 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 other side you proved
Too True to say goodbye to you
Too true too sad sad sad

First to fade her, gifted and I made her
One for the now and eleven for the later
Never made it, Up to Minnesota
North Dakota man was a comin' for the quota
DOWN in the badlands she was saving the best for last
it only hurts when I laugh
Gone too fasst

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
