Outta bed at the crack of noon
Blare the music and have a swoon
I can't stop thinkin of your face

La la lee la lee loo lace

I'm six feet under the Bhodi Tree

With my crap new-age philosophy
Diamonds where there once were stars
I'm sittin in Jayne Mansfeild's car


Yea yea-a I'm independence
Yea yea-a I'm borderline

Yea yea-a I'm California
My minds all screwed and upside down
But my heart's on overdrive (yea my heart's on overdrive)


I need to take a shower when I look at you
Ya sting and hurt like a bad tattoo

I wish you'd change my point of view

I cruise the canyon to get some breeze

With Hidden Treasures up my sleeve
I like the light and hate the heat
But I'll lick the blood right off your street


Yea yea-a I'm cherry cola
Yea yea-a I'm candy-eyed

Yea yea-a I'm California
My mind's all screwed and upside down
But my heart's on over drive


They all come here to find a scene
But end up girls on methadrine

Naked on a TV screen
The dreams that fall beneath my feet
Make my footsteps feel so sweet

But your kisses are my fait accompli

YEA YEA- A

I'm independence
Yea-a I'm borderline
Yea-a I'm California

My mind's all screwed and upsidedown
But my heart's on overdrive
Yea my heart's on overdrive
