Lyrics
Dani California
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Gettin' born in the state of Mississippi
Pappa was a copper and mamma was a hippie
In Alabama she was swinging hammer
Price you gotta pay when you break the panarama
She never knew that there was anything more than poor
What in the world 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 marry way saying: Baby, what ya gonna
Lookin' down the barrel of a hot metal 45
Just another way to survive
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
Should've seen her coming when it got a little brighter
With a name like Dani California
The day was gonna come when I was gonna morn ya
A little loaded she was stealing another breath
I love my baby to death
California rest in peace
Simultaneous release
California show your teeth
She's my priestess, I'm your priest
Yeah, yeah
Who knew the other side of you
Who knew what others died to prove
Too true to say good bye to you
Too true to say say say
Pustribator, gifted animator
One for the now and living for the later
Never made it up to Minnesota
North Dakota man was a gunnin' for Dakota
Down in the badlands she was saving the best for last
It only hurts when I laugh
Gone too fast
California rest in peace
Simultaneous release
California show your teeth
She's my priestess, I'm your priest
Yeah, yeah
California rest in peace
Simultaneous release
California show your teeth
She's my priestess, I'm your priest
Yeah, yeah
