Psychic spies from China

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
F C
It's understood that Hollywood
A# Gm
sells Californication
[Interlude]

Pay your surgeon very well

To break the spell of aging

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
[Interlude]

[Verse 4]
Dm
Space may be the final frontier
A#
But it's made in a Hollywood basement

And Cobain can you hear the spheres

Singing songs off station to station?

And Alderaan's not far away

It's Californication

[Verse 5]
Dm
Destruction leads to a very rough road
A#
But it also breeds creation
Dm
And earthquakes are to a girl's guitar
A#
They're just another good vibration

And tidal waves couldn't save the world
A# Gm
From Californication
[Interlude]
