Death Note - Dani California

getting born in the state of mississippi
papa was a copper and mama was a hippie
in alabama she would swing a hammer
price you gotta pay when you break the panorama
she never knew that there was anything more than poor
what in the world of us your company take me for

black bandanna, sweet louisiana
robbin' all a bank in the state of indiana
she's a runner, rebel and a stunner
on her merry way sayin;
baby whatcha gonna
lookin' down the barrel of a hot metal forty-five
just another way to survive

california rest in peace
simultaneous release
california show your teeth
she's my priestess, I'm your priest
YEAH, YEAH

she's a lover, baby and a fighter
shoulda seen it coming when it got a little brighter
with a name like dani california
day was gonna come when I was gonna mourn ya
a little loaded, she was stealing another breath
I love my baby to death

california rest in peace
simultaneous release
california show your teeth
she's my priestess, I'm your priest
YEAH, YEAH

who knew the other side of you?
who knew that others died to prove
too true to say good bye to you
too true to say say say

push the fader gifted animator
one for the now and eleven for the later
never made it up to minnesota
north dakota man was a gunning for the quota
down in the badlands she was savin' the best for last
it only hurts when I laugh
gone too fast

california rest in peace
simultaneous release
california show your teeth
she's my priestess, I'm your priest
YEAH, YEAH

california rest in peace
simultaneous release
california show your teeth
she's my priestess, I'm your priest
YEAH, YEAH
