[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
Psychic spies from China try to steal your mind's elation
Little girls from Sweden dreams of silver-screen quotation
And if you want these kinda dreams, it's Californication

[Verse 2]
It's the edge of the world and all of Western civilization
The sun may rise in the East, at least it settled in a final location
Understood that Hollywood sells Californication

[Pre-Chorus]
Pay your surgeon very well to break the spell of aging
Celebrity skin, is this your chin, is that war you're waging?
First born unicorn
Hardcore soft porn

[Chorus]
Dream of Californication
Dream of Californication
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)

[Interlude]
Do it to me

[Verse 3]
Marry me, girl, be my fairy to the world, be my very own constellation
A teenage bride with a baby inside gettin' high on information
Buy me a star on the boulevard, it's Californication

[Verse 4]
Space may be the final frontier but it's made in a Hollywood basement
Cobain, can you hear the spheres singin' songs off Station to Station?
Alderaan's not far away, it's Californication

[Interlude]
Ooh-hoo-ooh (Yeah, yeah)
Ooh-hoo-ooh

[Pre-Chorus]
Born and raised by those who praise control of population (Ooh-hoo-ooh)
Everybody's been there and I don't mean on vacation (Ooh-hoo-ooh)
(Ooh) First born unicorn (Hoo-ooh)
(Ooh) Hardcore soft porn (Hoo-ooh)

[Chorus]
Dream of Californication
Dream of Californication (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Dream of Californication
Dream of Californication (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 5]
Destruction leads to a very rough road but it also breeds creation
Earthquakes are to a girl's guitar just another good vibration
Tidal waves couldn't save the world, Californication

[Interlude]
Ooh-hoo-ooh
Ooh-hoo-ooh

[Pre-Chorus]
Pay your surgeon very well, break the spell of aging (Ooh-hoo-ooh)
Sicker than the rest, there is no test, this is what you're craving
(Ooh-hoo-ooh)
(Ooh) First born unicorn (Hoo-ooh)
(Ooh) Hardcore soft porn (Hoo-ooh)

[Chorus]
Dream of Californication
Dream of Californication (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Dream of Californication
Dream of Californica— (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)

[Outro]
—tion, oh-oh-oh-ho
You got to pay
