It's the edge of the world

The sun may rise in the East

At least it settled in a final location

It's understood that Hollywood

sells Californication

Space may be the final frontier

Singing songs off station to station?

It's Californication

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

And tidal waves couldn't save the world
F Dm
From Californication
