You could travel the world, but nothing comes close to the golden coast. Once you party with us, you'll be falling in love, Oooooh Oh Oooooh!

Now it's clear to me/ that everything you see/ ain't always what it seems.

I can't be the candy queen forever.

I came from a lot of intolerance and prejudice, which aren't necessarily healthy to evolve as a human.

I’m not Buddhist, I’m not Hindu, I’m not Christian, but I still feel like I have a deep connection with God.

My religious upbringing was comically strict — even the Dirt Devil vacuum cleaner was banned. In our house, no one was allowed to refer to deviled eggs. We had to call them angelic eggs. We were never allowed to swear. I'd get into trouble just for saying 'Hell no'. If you dropped a hammer on your toe in our house you had to say something like 'Jiminy Christmas'. The only music we were allowed to listen to was gospel. No wonder I rebelled.

This is the city that taught me how to write all of these cool songs. Yeah, you guys definitely need a royalty.
