Red Hot Chili Peppers - Joe 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 master piece 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 gotta 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 f*cking 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
