Psychic spies from China
Try to steal your mind elation
Little girls from Sweden
Dream of silver screen quotations
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
At least it settles in a final location
It?s understood that Hollywood
Sells Californication
Pay your surgeon very well
To break the signs of aging
Celebrity skin is this your chin
Or is it war your waging
First born unicorn
Hard core, soft porn
Dream of Californication
Dream of Cailfornication
Marry me girl be the fairy to my world
Be my very won constellation
A teenage bride with a baby inside
Getting high on information
And buy me a star on the boulevard
It?s Californication
Space may be the final frontier
But it?s made in a Hollywood basement
[ From: http://www.elyrics.net/read/r/red-hot-chili-pepper… ]
And Cobain can you hear the spheres
Singing songs off station to station
And Alderon?s not far away
It?s Californication
Born and raised by those who praise
Control of population
Well, everybody?s been there
And I don?t mean on vacation
First born unicorn
Hard core, soft porn
Dream of Californication
Dream of Cailfornication

Dream of Cailfornication
Destruction leads to a very rough road
But it also breeds creation
And earthquakes are to a girl?s guitar
They are just another good vibration
And tidal waves couldn?t save the world
From Californication
Pay your surgeon very well
To break the spell of aging
Sicker then the rest, there is no test
But this is what you?re craving
First born unicorn
Hard core, soft porn

Well, Keidis became sober around the time Californication was released, and John Frusciante returned to the band after kicking his addictions to heroin and crack cocaine. With him, John brought a different sound and energy to the band, evident of his story of destruction and rebirth. I think that this quote is Kiedis saying, “we did some stuff that we regret, but look what I took from the experience.”
