The page contains the lyrics of the song "This Is The Place" by Red Hot Chili Peppers.

Lyrics

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
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 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 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 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 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 want to take it up With Little Joe
I don’t want to fake it So I’ve got to go 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’m 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
