Lyrics of Dani California (iTunes Originals Version) by Red Hot Chili Peppers
verse
Getting born in the state of Mississippi
Papa was a copper
And Mama was a hippie
verse
In Alabama she would swing a hammer
Price you gotta pay when you break the panorama
verse
She never knew that there was
Anything more than poor
verse
What in the world does your
Company take me for
verse
Black bandana sweet Louisiana
Robbin' on a bank in the state of Indiana
verse
She's a runner, rebel and a stunner
On her merry way sayin'
Baby what you gonna
verse
Looking 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
verse
She's a lover baby and a fighter
Shoulda seen it comin' when
It got a little brighter
verse
With a name like Dani California
The day was gonna come
When I was gonna mourn ya
verse
A little loaded she was
Stealin' 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
verse
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
verse
Push the fader, gifted animator
One for the now and eleven for the later
verse
Never made it up to Minnesota
North Dakota man was a gunnin'
For the quota
verse
Down in the Badlands
She was savin' the best for last
verse
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
chorus
California rest in peace
Simultaneous release
California show your teeth
She's my priestess; I'm your priest
Writer(s): Michael Balzary, John Frusciante, Anthony Kiedis, Chad Smith
