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

Yeah yeah-ah I gain independence
Yeah yeah-ah I'm borderline
Yeah yeah-ah I'm California
My mind's all screwed and upside down
But my heart's on overdrive
Yeah my heart's on overdrive
I need to take a shower when I look at you
You sting and hurt like a bad tattoo
I wish you'd change my point of view

I cruise the canyon to get a 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

Yeah yeah-ah I'm cherry-cola
Yeah yeah-ah I'm candy-eyed
Yeah yeah-ah I'm California
My mind's all screwed and upside down
But my heart's on overdrive


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 acconpli

Yeah yeah-ah I gain independence
Yeah yeah-ah I'm borderline
Yeah yeah-ah I'm California
My mind's all screwed and upside down
But my heart's on overdrive

Yeah my heart's on overdrive
