Am
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 want to do it like my Daddy did
I don’t want to give it to my baby’s kid

Chorus:
Am                 F
This is my calling I said my darling
 Dm                 C
Shocking, appalling All I can do to you
Am                  F
Hammers are falling I said my darling
 Dm                 C
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

Chorus

F         C               Dsus4
I saw you out there yesterday, What did you want to say
F          C         Dsus4
A perfect piece of DNA, Caught in a flashing ray
F             C                Dsus4
I caught you out there in the fray, What did you want to say
F        C         Dsus4
A masterpiece 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

Chorus

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
