Red Hot Chili Peppers — 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] "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] 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] "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 [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] Can I smell your gasoline? Can I pet your wolverine? On the day my best friend died, I could not get my copper clean [Pre-Chorus: Anthony Kiedis] I don't wanna take it up with little Joe I don't wanna fake, it but I've gotta know [Chorus] "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] 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
