Song lyrics

[edit]
  • A teenage bride with a baby inside getting high on information.
  • Space may be the final frontier but it's made in a Hollywood basement.
    • "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.
    • "Californication"
