This is the place, where all the junkies go

Take a chance on that, which seems to be the making of a dream

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

A perfect piece of DNA, Caught in a flashing ray
F    C                                        Dsus4

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
