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 of that 
   Which seems to be 
   The making of a dream 
   
   I don't want to do it 
   Like my daddy did 
   I don't want to give it 
   To my baby's kid 
   
   This is my calling... 
   
   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 want to say it 
   If it isn't so 
   I don't want to weigh it 
   But i've got to know 
   
   This is my calling... 
   
   I saw you out there yesterday 
   What did you want to say 
   A perfect piece of DNA 
   Caught in a flashing ray 
   I caught you out there in the fray 
   What did you want to 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 want to take it up 
   With little Joe 
   I don't want to fake it 
   But i've gotta know 
   
   This is my calling... 
   
   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 poppin' Jay 
   Who thinks he's got 
   Something to say
