You Re Beautiful Don You Know It Easy to Californication

Red Hot Chili Peppers Lyrics

"Californication"

Psychic spies from China try to steal your mind's elation
And little girls from Sweden dream of silver-screen quotation
And if you want these kind of dreams, it's Californication

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
It's understood that Hollywood sells Californication

Pay your surgeon very well to break the spell of aging
Celebrity skin: is this your chin or is that war you're waging?

First born unicorn
Hardcore soft porn

Dream of Californication
Dream of Californication
Dream of Californication
Dream of Californication

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

Space may be the final frontier 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

Born and raised by those who praise control of population
Well, everybody's been there, and I don't mean no vacation

First born unicorn
Hardcore soft porn

Dream of Californication
Dream of Californication
Dream of Californication
Dream of Californication

Destruction leads to a very rough road but it also breeds creation
And earthquakes are to a girl's guitar, they're just another good vibration
And tidal waves couldn't save the world from Californication

Pay your surgeon very well to break the spell of aging
Sicker than the rest, there is no test, but this is what you're craving

First born unicorn
Hardcore soft porn

Dream of Californication
Dream of Californication
Dream of Californication
Dream of Californication

This track criticizes the Hollywood life style with its artificial fame and efforts to look always young and shining.

The Cure's instrumental composition called "Carnage Visors" was an influence on the writing of "Californication". "Carnage Visors" is a track from The Cure's album "Faith", but that track was released only on cassette versions of the album in 1981 and later re-released as a bonus track on the Deluxe Edition of the album in 2005.

"Station To Station" from this song is David Bowie's album released in 1976.

Alderaan, mentioned in these lyrics, is the planet Princess Leia was from in the "Star Wars" saga. Its mention underlines a forthcoming possibility of destruction just like what happened to that planet.

The Showtime comedy drama "Californication" used the name of this song and several other Red Hot Chili Peppers' findings without permission, e.g. one of the characters had the nickname Dani California, another character used a line "the edge of the world and all of western civilization" from this song.
