This is the Place 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 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", 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

Ooh

Ooh

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, 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 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
