This Is The Place lyrics

[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: Anthony Kiedis]
"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: Anthony Kiedis]
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: Anthony Kiedis]
"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
[Interlude: Anthony Kiedis]
Oh-oh, oh-oh, wo-oh, wo-oh, wo
Oh-oh, oh-oh, wo-oh, wo-oh, wo

[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: Anthony Kiedis]
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: Anthony Kiedis]
"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: Anthony Kiedis]
I am a misfit, I'm born with all of it
The f*cking 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
Oh-oh, oh-oh, wo-oh, wo-oh, wo (Oh-oh)
Oh-oh, oh-oh, wo-oh, wo-oh, wo (Oh-oh)
