Lyrics

Scentless Apprentice

Like most babies smell like butter

His smell smelled like no other

He was born scentless and senseless

He was born a scentless apprentice

Go away - get away, get away, get a-way

Every wet nurse refused to feed him

Electrolytes smell like semen

I promise not to sell your perfumed secrets

There are countless formulas for pressing flowers

I lie in the soll and fertilize mushrooms

Leaking out gas fumes are made into perfume

You can't fire me because I quit

Throw me in the fire and I won't throw a fit
