Dani California

Dani California - Alan Scaffardi/Papik

Lyricist：John Anthony Frusciante

Composer：Michael Balzary

Getting 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 world 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 way sayin'

Baby what you gonna

Looking 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

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

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

Who knew the other side of you

Who knew what others died to prove

Too true to say goodbye to you

Too 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

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

California rest in peace

Simultaneous release

California show your teeth

She's my priestess I'm your priest
