Dani California - Red Hot Chili Peppers

1.
Getting born in the state of Mississippi,
papa was a copper, and her mama was a hippy.
In Alabama she would swing a hammer,
price you got to 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?
2.
Black bandanna, sweet Louisiana
robbing on a bank in the state of Indiana.
She's a runner, rebel and a stunner,
on her merry way saying baby, watcha gonna?
Looking down the barrel of a hot metal forty-five.
Just another way to survive.
Ref.
California, rest in peace.
Simultaneous release.
California, show your teeth.
She's my priestess I'm your priest, yeah, yeah, yeah.
3.
She's a lover, baby, and a fighter,
should've seen it coming when I 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 stealing another breath.
I love my baby to death.
Ref.
Brid.
Who knew the other side of you?
Who knew that others died to prove?
Too true to say goodbye to you,
too true to say, say, say.
4.
Pushed the fader, gifted animator
one for the now, and eleven for the later.
Never made it up to Minnesota,
North Dakota man wasn't gunnin' for the quota.
Down in the Badlands she was saving the best for last,
it only hurts when I laugh.
Pre.
Gone too fast.
