Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Deep inside of a parallel universe

It's getting harder and harder to tell what came first, um

Under water where thoughts can breathe easily

Far away you were made in a sea, just like me

[Chorus]

Christ, I'm a sidewinder, I'm a California King

I swear it's everywhere, it's everything

[Verse 2]

Staring straight up into the sky, oh, my, my

A solar system that fits in your eye, microcosm

You could die but you're never dead, spider web

Take a look at the stars in your head, fields of space, kid

[Chorus]

Christ, I'm a sidewinder, I'm a California King

I swear it's everywhere, it's everything

Christ, I'm a sidewinder, I'm a California King

I swear it's everywhere, it's everything

[Verse 3]

Psychic changes are born in your heart, entertain

A nervous breakthrough that makes us the same, bless your heart, girl

Kill the pressure, it's raining on salty cheeks

When you hear the beloved song, I am with you

[Chorus]

Christ, I'm a sidewinder, I'm a California King

I swear it's everywhere, it's everything

Christ, I'm a sidewinder, I'm a California King

I swear it's everywhere, it's everything
