Deep inside of a parallel universe It's getting harder and harder To tell what came first Under water where thoughts can breathe Easily Far away you were made in a sea Just like me Christ I'm a sidewinder I'm a California king I swear it's everywhere It's everything Staring straight up into the sky Oh my my a solar system that fits In your eye Microcosm You could die but your never dead spider web Take a look at the stars in Your head fields of space kid Christ I'm a sidewinder I'm a California King I swear it's everywhere It's everything Christ I'm a sidewinder I'm a California King I swear it's everywhere It's everything Psychic changes are born in your heart entertain A nervous breakthrough that makes us the same Bless your heart girl Kill the pressure it's raining on Salty cheeks When you hear the beloved song I am with you Christ I'm a sidewinder I'm a California King I swear it's everywhere It's everything Christ I'm a sidewinder I'm a California King I swear it's everywhere It's everything
