Lyrics This Is the Place - Red Hot Chili Peppers

This Is the Place

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
