Californication

See the finest things in life
Are not chasing diamonds or Cayman Islands
And this I know, oh-oh-oh-oh (Know, ooh, oh, ooh, ow)
But in a time of silver linings
And senseless violence on the mind
It take its toll, oh-oh-oh-oh (Toll, ooh, oh, ooh, ow)
And she say, "Hey boy, how you doin'?
Do you like the make-believe?"
And I said, "Oh-ooh-oh-ooh-oh, yeah" (Oh, ooh, oh, ooh, oh, yeah)
'Cause I heard about a place
Somewhere across the sea
And I plan to go there
So, would you like to go? (Yeah, yeah)

And feel the Californiacational lust
Feel like you're stuck in a dream (Yeah, oh, oh, yeah)
Become a magic formulation of someone
I don't know what it means (Eh, oh, oh)
When maybe they're us
When maybe I'm you
Or maybe you're me (Oh, oh, ah)
Or will the Californiacational lust
Be all it's made out to be?

I said, "Pretty girl there with the big hair
I can see you rollin'"
You gotta know that you're fa-ah-ah-ah-ine (Fa-ee-ah-ee-ine)
Say pretty girl there back in London town
It's not recreational
The good stuff's hard to fa-ah-ah-ah-ah-ind (Fa-ee-ah-ah-ah-ah-ind)
Anyway, fly safely
Bye, baby
Bad traffic, god save me
I think my tank on E
These hills be unholy
LA, what a bubble (Uh)
In-N-Out, quick
Double-Double (Uh)
To the place where the guys and the dolls vacay
Then can't escape the thrill of

Californiacational lust
Feel like you're stuck in a dream (Eh, oh, oh, ah)
Become a magic formulation of someone
I don't know what it means (Eh, yeah, yeah)
When maybe they're us
When maybe I'm you
Or maybe you're me (Oh, oh, ah)
Will the Californiacational lust
Be all it's made out to be?

Hey, hey, hey
All it's made out to be
All it's made out to be
Made out to be
Made out (Uh, uh)

Could this be all? (Could this be all)
There is to la-ife?
'Cause if it is, then I don't wanna die
I saw the sun
Dance in your eyes
I tried to resist but I lost to the la-ight
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
