I Am Chemistry

[Verse 1: Yeasayer]

I'm digoxin from the foxglove plant

The last remaining VX from Anniston

I'm NaCN and I'm DDT

Tap into your spine

I am a chemistry

[Verse 2: Yeasayer]

It's a gas, a sarin for high tea

A C4H10FO2P puts you on your knees

A sulfur dichloride with ethylene

I say it again: I am a chemistry

[Break: Yeasayer]

She doesn't need my help poisoning the well beneath the rue leaves

She only needs my help pleasuring herself beneath the rue leaves

[Bridge: Suzzy Roche]

My mama told me not to fool with oleander

And never handle the deadly quaker buttons again

My mama told me not to fool with oleander

And never handle the deadly quaker buttons again

My mama told me not to fool with oleander

And never handle the deadly quaker buttons again

[Outro: Yeasayer and Suzzy Roche]

I am chemistry

I am chemistry

I am chemistry

I am chemistry

(When you least expect it) I am chemistry

(That is when you get it) I am chemistry

(When you least expect it) I am chemistry

(That is when you get it) I am chemistry
