Out of bed in a crack of noon
blare the music and have a swoon
i can't stop thinkin of your face
la la lee la loo la lace
im six feet under the bhodi tree
with my crap new age philosophy
diamonds where there once were stars
im sittin in jayne mansfield's car

yea yeaa im independence
yea yeaa im borderline
yea yeaa im california
my minds all screwed and upsidedown
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 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 ill lick the blood right off your street

yea yeaa im cherry cola
yea yeaa im candy eyed
yea yeaa im california
my minds all screwed and upsidedown
but my heart's on overdrive

they all come here to find a scene
but end up girls on methradine
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 YEAAA im independence
yea yeaa im borderline
yea yeaa im california
my minds all screwed and upsidedown
but my heart's on overdrive
yea my heart's on overdrive
