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 hearts on overdrive (yea my hearts 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 cruz 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 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 accompli

Yea yea-a I'm independence

Yea-a I'm borderline

Yea-a I'm California

My mind's all screwed and upside down

But my heart's on overdrive

Yea my heart's on overdrive
