Dani California
 Gettin' born in the state of mississippi
 Papa was a copper and mama was a hippie
 In alabama she would swing a hammer
 Price you gotta pay when you pick the panorama
 She never knew that there was anything more than poor
 What in the world? what does your confidant take me for?
 
 Black bandana, sweet louisiana
 Robbin' on a bank in the state of indiana
 She's a runner, rebel and a stunner
 Oh her merry way sayin' baby whatcha gonna
 Lookin' down the barrel of a hot metal forty five
 Just another way to survive
 
 [Chorus:]
 California rest in peace
 Simultaneous release
 California show your teeth
 She's my priestess, I'm your priest, yeah, yeah
 
 She's a lover baby and a fighter
 Shoulda seen her coming 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
 
 [Chorus]
 
 Who knew the other side of you?
 Who knew what others died to prove?
 Too true to say good bye to you
 Too true too sad sad sad..
 
 Push the fader, gifted animator
 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..
 
 [Chorus 2x]
