Scentless Apprentice

Nirvana

In Utero (Deluxe Edition), 1993, English

Lyrics

Pick up to six lines to make a card.

Like most babies, smell like butter
His smell smelled like no other
He was born scentless and senseless
He was born a scentless apprentice
Away
Go away
Go away
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
Away
Go away
Go away
I lie in the soil and fertilize mushrooms
Leaking out gas, fumes made into perfume
You can't fire me 'cause I quit
Throw me in the fire and I won't throw a fit
Hey
Go away
Go away
Go away
Go away
Go away
Go away
Go away
