Californication Lyrics

[00:20.57] Psychic spies from China try to steal your mind's elation
[00:25.43] And little girls from Sweden dream of silver-screen quotation
[00:30.40] And if you want these kind of dreams
[00:33.03] It's Californication
[00:36.46]
[00:45.10] It's the edge of the world, end all of western civilization
[00:50.52] The Sun may rise in the East, at least it's settled in the final location
[00:55.63] It's understood that Hollywood sells Californication
[01:01.36]
[01:10.84] Pay your surgeon very well to break the spell of aging
[01:15.44] Celebrity skin, is this your chin, or is that war you're waging?
[01:21.71] Firstborn unicorn
[01:25.86] Hardcore soft-porn
[01:30.48] Dream of Californication
[01:35.36] Dream of Californication
[01:40.39] Dream of Californication
[01:45.37] Dream of Californication
[01:50.37]
[02:00.15] Marry me, girl, be my fairy to the world, be my very own constellation
[02:04.88] A teenage bride with a baby inside, gettin' high on information
[02:10.04] And buy me a star on the boulevard
[02:12.62] It's Californication
[02:16.55]
[02:24.92] Space may be the final frontier, but it's made in a Hollywood basement
[02:30.08] And Cobain, can you hear the spheres, singing songs off station to station?
[02:34.67] And Alderaan's not far away
[02:37.24] It's Californication
[02:41.07]
[02:49.96] Born and raised by those who praise control of population
[02:54.75] Well, everybody's been there, and I don't mean on vacation
[03:00.94] Firstborn unicorn
[03:05.30] Hardcore soft-porn
[03:09.66] Dream of Californication
[03:14.61] Dream of Californication
[03:19.57] Dream of Californication
[03:24.53] Dream of Californication
[03:28.96]
[04:18.88] Destruction leads to a very rough road, but it also breeds creation
[04:23.81] And earthquakes are to a girl's guitar, they're just another good vibration
[04:28.64] And tidal waves couldn't save the world from Californication
[04:34.65]
[04:43.42] Pay your surgeon very well to break the spell of aging
[04:48.32] Sicker than the rest, there is no test, but this is what you're craving
[04:54.56] Firstborn unicorn
[04:58.66] Hardcore soft-porn
[05:03.05] Dream of Californication
[05:08.01] Dream of Californication
[05:12.87] Dream of Californication
[05:17.72] Dream of Californication
[05:19.69]
