Californication (Radio Edit) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Psychic spies from China try to steal your mind's elation
And little girls from Sweden dream of silver-screen quotation
And if you want these kind of dreams, it's Californication

[Verse 2]
It's the edge of the world and all of Western civilization
The sun may rise in the East, at least it settled in a final location
It's understood that Hollywood sells Californication

[Bridge]
Pay your surgeon very well to break the spell of aging
Celebrity skin: is this your chin or is that war you're waging?

[Pre-Chorus]
First born unicorn
Hardcore soft porn

[Chorus]
Dream of Californication
Dream of Californication

[Verse 3]
Marry me, girl, be my fairy to the world, be my very own constеllation
A teenage bride with a baby inside gеtting high on information
And buy me a star on the boulevard, it's Californication
[Verse 4]
Destruction leads to a very rough road but it also breeds creation
And earthquakes are to a girl's guitar, they're just another good vibration
And tidal waves couldn't save the world from Californication

[Bridge]
Pay your surgeon very well to break the spell of aging
Sicker than the rest, there is no test, but this is what you're craving

[Pre-Chorus]
First born unicorn
Hardcore soft porn

[Chorus]
Dream of Californication
Dream of Californication
Dream of Californication
Dream of Californication
