Psychic spies from China

Try to steal your mind's elation

Little girls from Sweden

Dream of silver screen quotations

It's Californication

It's the edge of the world

It's understood that Hollywood

sells Californication

Pay your surgeon very well
Bmaj7
To break the spell of aging

Celebrity skin, is this your chin?
Bmaj7
Or is that war you're waging?

First born unicorn

Getting high on information

It's Californication
[Interlude]

[Verse 4]
D#m
Space may be the final frontier
B
But it's made in a Hollywood basement
D#m
And Cobain can you hear the spheres
B
Singing songs off station to station?
F# C#
And Alderaan's not far away
B G#m
It's Californication
[Interlude]

[Verse 5]
D#m
Destruction leads to a very rough road
B
But it also breeds creation
D#m
And earthquakes are to a girl's guitar
B
They're just another good vibration
F# C#
And tidal waves couldn't save the world
B G#m
From Californication
