Scentless Apprentice - Nirvana

Album: In Utero

genre: Grunge

Like most babies smell like butter
His smell smelled like no other
He was born scentless and senseless
He was born a scentless apprentice

Hey, go 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

Hey, go away!
Go away!
Go away!

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

Hey, go away!
Go away!
Go away!
Go away!
Go away!
Go away!
