Dani California - Red Hot Chili Peppers

Gettin´ born in the state of Mississippi 
Papa was a copper and mama was a hippie 
In Alabama she was swingin´ hammer 
Price you gotta pay when you pick the panorama 
She never knew that there was anything more than poor 
What in the world? 
What does your confidant take me for? 

Black bandana, sweet Louisiana 
Robbin´ on a bank in the state of Indiana 
She´s a runner, rebel and a stunner 
Hunt em every way saying baby whatcha gonna 
Lookin´ down the barrel of a hot bed forty five 
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 
Should of seen her coming when it got a little brighter 
With a name like Dani California 
Day was gonna come when I was gonna moarn ya 
A little lotus, 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 the hardest time to prove? 
Too true to say good bye to you 
Too true to say say say... 

Must to paid her 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 
Simultaneous release 
California show your teeth 
She´s my priestess, I´m your priest, yeah, yeah
