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 kinda 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 settles in a final location
It's understood that Hollywood sells Californication
[PreChorus]
Pay your surgeon very well to break the spell of aging
Celebrity skin, is this your chin? Or is that war you're waging?
[Chorus]
First born unicorn, hardcore soft porn
Dream of Californication
Dream of Californication
[Verse 3]
Marry me, girl, be my fairy to the world, be my very own constellation
A teenage bride with a baby inside, gettin' high on information
And buy me a star on the boulevard, it's Californication
[Verse 4]
Space may be the final frontier, but it's made in a Hollywood basement
And, Cobain, can you hear the spheres singin' songs off Station to Station?
And Alderaan's not far away, it's Californication
[PreChorus]
Born and raised by those who praise control of population
Well, everybody's been there and I don't mean on vacation
[Chorus]
First born unicorn, hardcore soft porn
Dream of Californication
Dream of Californication
Dream of Californication
Dream of Californication
[Verse 5]
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
[PreChorus]
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]
First born unicorn, hardcore soft porn
Dream of Californication
Dream of Californication
Dream of Californication
Dream of Californication
