This Is the Place - Red Hot Chili Peppers

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

This is my calling, I said, my darling

Shocking, appalling all I can do to you

Hammers are falling, I said, my darling

Shocking, appalling all I can do to you

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 got to know

This is my calling, I said, my darling

Shocking, appalling all I can do to you

Hammers are falling, I said, my darling

Shocking, appalling all I can do to you

Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-woah-woah

Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-woah-woah

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 master piece of DNA caught in a flashing ray

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

This is my calling, I said, my darling

Shocking, appalling all I can do to you

Hammers are falling, I said, my darling

Shocking, appalling all I can do to you

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 popping Jay who thinks he’s got something to say

Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-woah-woah

Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-woah-woah
