Dani California Lyrics By Red Hot Chili Peppers

    produced by rick rubin

    anthony kiedis
    gettin’ born in the state of mississippi
    poppa was a copper and her momma was a hippie
    in alabama she would swing a hammer
    price you gotta pay when you break the panorama
    she never knew that there was anything more than poor
    what in the world what does your company take me for
    black bandana sweet louisiana
    robbin’ on a bank in the state of indiana
    she’s a runner rebel and a stunner
    on her merry way sayin’ baby what you gonna
    lookin’ down the barrel of a hot metal 45
    just another way to survive

    anthony kiedis
    california rest in peace
    simultaneous release
    california show your teeth
    she’s my priestess i’m your priest yeah yeah

    anthony kiedis
    she’s a lover baby and a fighter
    shoulda seen her comin’ when it got a little brighter
    with a name like dani california
    day was gonna come when i was gonna mourn ya
    a little loaded she was stealin’ another breath
    i love my baby to death

    anthony kiedis
    california rest in peace

    she’s my priestess i’m your priest yeah yeah

    john frusciante

    who knew what others died to prove
    too true to say goodbye to you
    too true to say say say

    anthony kiedis

    one for the now and eleven for the later
    never made it up to minnesota
    north dakota man was a gunnin’ for the quota
    down in the badlands she was savin’ the best for last
    it only hurts when i laugh
    gone too fast
