I edited them slightly
I watched the video tonight (I taped it when it premiered) and I put the closed captioning on. That's about as official as it gets. Here's my slightly edited lyrics. I think that they're right.
Gettin' born in the state of Mississippi Papa was a copper and momma was a hippie In Alabama, she would swing a hammer Price you gotta pay when you break the panorama She never knew that there was anything more than poor What in the world does your company take me for
Black bandana, sweet Louisiana Robbin' on a bank in the state of Indiana She's a runner, rebel and a stunner On her merry way sayin' baby whatcha gonna Lookin down the barrel of a hot metal.45 Just another way to survive
Chorus: California rest in peace, Simultaneous release, California show your teeth, She's my priestess I'm your priest Yeah Yeah
She's a lover, baby and a fighter she shoulda seen it comin when it got a little brighter with a name like Dani California The day was gonna come when I was gonna mourn ya A little loaded she was stealing another breath I love my baby to death…
Chorus
Bridge: **this is sung by John** Who knew the other side of you Who knew that others died to prove Too true to say goodbye to you Too true, to say say say
Push the fader, gifted animator One for the now and eleven for the later Never made it up to Minnesota North Dakota man was a gunnin’ for the quota Down in the badlands she was saving the best for last it only hurts when I laugh Gone too fast
Chorus (2 times, on the second time, in between the main lines, John sings “don’t you ever leave”): California rest in peace, Simultaneous release, California show your teeth, She's my priestess I'm your priest Yeah Yeah
California rest in peace, (don’t you ever leave) Simultaneous release, (don’t you ever leave) California show your teeth, (don’t you ever leave) She's my priestess I'm your priest Yeah Yeah

"In Alabama, she would swing a hammer" - sounds like she was in jail for something

Pushing the fader is turning up the volume, upping the ante, raising the stakes North Dakota man: yes, to shoot her, as in a tax collector with a gun

i dont understand this: In Alabama, she would swing a hammer What in the world does your company take me for and i dont understand this in the context: it only hurts when I laugh Gone too fast Swinging the hammer means she's doing time in prison. It only hurts when i laugh is probably referring to the memories of her, and his recollections of her. Gone too fast refers to her life ending early.
