PLANNING: Californication Lyric Analysis



 'Californication'

Psychic spies from China      (just before song starts, Band Scene)
Try to steal your mind's elation
Little girls from Sweden                           Dream figure (big boobs and bum)
Dream of silver screen quotations       Different cuts of nails
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                   Gym scene (weights lifted, yoga poses)
At least it settles in the final location
It's understood that Hollywood
sells Californication

Pay your surgeon very well                                      Surgeon (from patients POV, crazy surgeon has stitches for mouth)
To break the spell of aging
Celebrity skin is this your chin            Mirror scene (playing with cheeks)
Or is that war your waging

Chorus:
First born unicorn
Hard core soft porn                Band scene
Dream of Californication
Dream of Californication

Marry me girl be my fairy to the world Bubble Bath
Be my very own constellation
A teenage bride with a baby inside
Getting high on information
And buy me a star on the boulevard    Champagne
It's Californication

Space may be the final frontier Snapback snatch
But it's made in a Hollywood basement
Cobain can you hear the spheres
Singing songs off station to station      Pimp My Ride scene (number plates, shopping bags, seat covers)
And Alderaan's not far away
It's Californication

Born and raised by those who praise Throwing money out window of car
Control of population everybody's been there and Policemen chasing us
I don't mean on vacation

Chorus
First born unicorn
Hard core soft porn                Prison mug shots
Dream of Californication       All 3 pushed into individual cells
Dream of Californication
