This Is The Place

[Verse 1: Anthony Kiedis]

This is the place where all the junkies go

Where time gets fast but everything gets slow

Can I get some Vaseline? Step into a modern scene

Take a chance on that which seems to be the making of a dream

I don't wanna do it like my daddy did

I don't wanna give it to my baby's kid

[Chorus: Anthony Kiedis]

"This is my calling", I said, darling

Shocking, appalling, all I can do to you

"Hammers are falling", I said, darling

Shocking, appalling, all I can do to you

[Verse 2: Anthony Kiedis]

This is the place where all the devils plead

Their case to take from you what they need

Can I isolate your gene? Can I kiss your dopamine?

In a way I wonder if she's living in a magazine

I don't wanna say it if it isn't so

I don't wanna weigh it, but I've gotta know

[Chorus: Anthony Kiedis]

"This is my calling", I said, darling

Shocking, appalling, all I can do to you

"Hammers are falling", I said, darling

Shocking, appalling, all I can do to you

[Interlude: Anthony Kiedis]

Oh-oh, oh-oh, wo-oh, wo-oh, wo

Oh-oh, oh-oh, wo-oh, wo-oh, wo

[Bridge: Kiedis, Kiedis & John Frusciante]

I saw you out there yesterday

What did you wanna say?

A perfect piece of DNA

Caught in a flashing ray

I caught you out there in the fray

What did you wanna say?

A masterpiece of DNA

Caught in a flashing ray

[Verse 3: Anthony Kiedis]

Can I smell your gasoline? Can I pet your wolverine?

On the day my best friend died, I could not get my copper clean

I don't wanna take it up with little Joe

I don't wanna fake it, but I've gotta know

[Chorus: Anthony Kiedis]

"This is my calling", I said, darling

Shocking, appalling, all I can do to you

"Hammers are falling", I said, darling

Shocking, appalling, all I can do to you

[Outro: Anthony Kiedis]

I am a misfit, I'm born with all of it

The fucking ultimate of love inside the atom split

I'm in a flash ray, a mash of DNA

Another popinjay who thinks he's got something to say

Oh-oh, oh-oh, wo-oh, wo-oh, wo (Oh-oh)

Oh-oh, oh-oh, wo-oh, wo-oh, wo (Oh-oh)
