Scentless Apprentice

Nirvana · From The Muddy Banks Of The Wishkah [1996]

Like most babies smell like butter

His smell smelled like no other

He was born scentless and senseless

He was born a scentless apprentice



Go away - get away, get a-way



Every wet nurse refused to feed him

Electrolytes smell like semen

I promise not to sell your perfumed secrets

There are countless formulas for pressing flowers



Go away - get away, get a-way



I lie in the soil and fertilize mushrooms

Leaking out gas fumes are made into perfume

You can't fire me because I quit!

Throw me in the fire and I won't throw a fit



Go away - get away, get away, get away, get away, get away, get away, get a-way
