californication

psychic spies from china
try to steal your mind's elation
little girls from sweden
dream of silver screen quotations
and if you want these kind of dreams
it's californication

it's the edge of the world
in all of western civilization
the sun may rise in the east
at least it settles in the final location
it's understood that hollywood
sells californication

pay your surgeon very well
to break the spell of aging
celebrity skin is this your chin
or is that war your waging

first born unicorn
hard core soft porn
dream of californication
dream of californication

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
and buy me a star on the boulevard
it's californication

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
and alderon's not far away
it's californication

born and raised by those who praise
control of population everybody's been there
andi don't mean on vacation

first born unicorn
hard core soft porn
dream of californication
dream of californication
dream of californication
dream of californication

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

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

first born unicorn
hard core soft porn
dream of californication
dream of californication
dream of californication
dream of californication

otherside

how long how long will i slide
seperate my side i don't
i don't believe its been
slit my throat
it's all i ever

i heard your voice through a photograph
i thought it up it brought up the past
once you know you can never go back
i've got to take it on the otherside

centuries are what it meant to me
a cemetery where i marry the sea
stranger things could never changed my mind
i gotta take it on the otherside
take it on the otherside
take it on
take it on

how long, how long will i slide
seperate my side i don't
i don't believe its been
slit my throat
it's all i ever

pour my life into a paper cup
the ashtrays full and i'm spillin' my guts
she wants to know am i still a slut
i've got to take it on the otherside
