Psychic spies from China Try to steal your mind's elation Little girls from Sweden Dream of silver screen quotations (Transition x1): And if you want these kind of dreams It's Californication Intro: x1 [Verse 2] (Intro x1): It's the edge of the world And all of western civilization The sun may rise in the East At least it settles in the final location (Transition x1) It's understood that Hollywood Sells Californication [Pre-Chorus:] x2 [Verse 3] (Pre-Chorus x2) Pay your surgeon very well To break the spell of aging Celebrity skin is this your chin Or is that war your waging [Chorus 1] (Pre-Chorus x2) First born unicorn Hard core soft porn (Chorus 1 x1) Dream of Californication Dream of Californication Intro: x1 [Verse 4] (Intro x1) Marry me girl be my fairy to the world Be my very own constellation A teenage bride with a baby inside Getting high on information (Transition x1) And buy me a star on the boulevard It's Californication Intro: x1 [Verse 5] (Intro x1) Space may be the final frontier But it's made in a Hollywood basement Cobain can you hear the spheres Singing songs off station to station (Transition x1) And Alderon's not far away It's Californication Pre-Chorus: x2 [Verse 6] (Pre-Chorus x2) Born and raised by those who praise Control of population everybody's been there and I don't mean on vacation [Chorus 2] (Pre-Chorus x2) First born unicorn Hard core soft porn (Chorus 2 x1) Dream of Californication Dream of Cailfornication Dream of Californication Dream of Cailfornication Guitar Solo Intro: x1 [Verse 6] (Intro x1) 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 (Transition) And tidal waves couldn't save the world From Californication Pre-Chorus: x2 [Verse 7] (Pre-Chorus x2) 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 [Chorus 3] (Pre-Chorus x2) First born unicorn Hard core soft porn (Chorus 2 x1) Dream of Californication Dream of Cailfornication Dream of Californication Dream of Cailfornication ************************************ | / slide up | \ slide down | h
