Getting born in the state of Mississippi
Papa was a copper, and her mama was a hippy
In Alabama she would swing a hammer
Price you got to pay when you break the panorama
She never knew that there was anything more than poor
What in the world does your company take me for?
Black bandanna, sweet Louisiana
Robbing on a bank in the state of Indiana
She's a runner
Rebel, and a stunner
On her merry way saying baby, watcha gonna?
Looking down the barrel of a hot metal forty-five
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, yeah
She's a lover, baby, and a fighter
Should've seen it coming when I 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 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, yeah
Who knew the other side of you?
Who knew that others died to prove?
Too true to say goodbye to you
Too true to say, say, say
Pushed the fader, gifted animator
One for the now, and eleven for the later
Never made it up to Minnesota
North Dakota man
Wasn't gunnin' for the quota
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, yeah
California, rest in peace
Simultaneous release
California, show your teeth
She's my priestess
I'm your priest
Yeah, yeah, yeah
They were at their best with Blood Sugar Sex Magic LP but this song is definitely one of their better ones.

I'm trying it on drums so I have to repeat it lot of times but none of them I'm getting rid of passion. This song reminds me good times with some friends . It was very difficult at those times to get a copy here in Spain but I was fortunate of my friend Carlos got access to them, he later became famous.
Thank you so much for coming and commenting ;)

As @jgvinstl says, Blood Sugar Sex Magic is when the band was at their best. This cd has great songs, my favorite ones are Suck My Kiss, Blood Sugar Sex Magik and Give It Away (it was magic to discover a song like Give it Away before it started sounding in all kind of radios and TV). After Blood Sugar, I think they have good songs but not good albums. Dani California is one of these songs.
@drakernoise, I live near Barcelona and from time to time I used to go to "Carrer Tallers" where in the 90's there were a lot of small record stores, but very specialized. You could find all kind of stuff, some really rare. Nowadays all have changed and just a couple of them are still open.
Saludos compañero!

I'm from Don Benito though I lived for half an a year in Sabadell. If you ever have the chance, come and go to "The Rincón Pío Sound" a music and musicians "temple" where you can feel amazing unbelievable moments. You can find interesting things on their website : http://www.rinconpiosound.com/home.htm

One of their best songs, great chorus and a subtle meaning outside of face value with regards to the lyrics.
