[Verse 1]
Out of bed at the crack of noon
Blare the music and have a swoon
I can't stop thinkin' of your face
La la lee la lee loo lace
I'm six feet under the Bodhi Tree
With my crap new age philosophy
Diamonds where there once were stars
I'm sittin' in Jayne Mansfield's car

[Chorus]
Yeah, yeah
I'm independence
Yeah, yeah
I'm borderline
Yeah, yeah
I'm California
My mind's all screwed and upside down
But my heart's on overdrive
Yeah, my heart's on overdrive

[Verse 2]
I need to take a shower when I look at you
You sting and hurt like a bad tattoo
I wish you'd change my point of view
I cruise the canyon to get some breeze
With Hidden Treasures up my sleeve
I like the light and hate the heat
But I'll lick the blood right off your street

[Chorus]
Yeah, yeah
I'm Cherry Cola
Yeah, yeah
I'm candy-eyed
Yeah, yeah
I'm California
My mind's all screwed and upside down
But my heart's on over drive

[Bridge]
They all come here to find a scene
But end up girls on Methedrine
Naked on a TV screen
The dreams that fall beneath my feet
Make my foot steps feel so sweet
But your kisses are my fait accompli

[Chorus]
Yeah, yeah
I'm independence
Yeah, yeah
I'm borderline
Yeah, yeah
I'm California
My mind's all screwed and upside down
But my heart's on overdrive

[Outro]
Yeah, my heart's on overdrive
