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 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 whatch ya 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
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

Chorus:
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
Too true to sad sad sad

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 saving the best for last
It only hurts when I laugh
Gone too fast

Chorus:
California rest in peace,
Simultaneous release,
California Show your teeth,
She's my priestess I'm your priest Yeah Yeah

Chorus:
California rest in peace,
Simultaneous release,
California Show your teeth,
She's my priestess I'm your priest Yeah Yeah
