Lyrics

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, away!
Away!
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, away!
Away!
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!
Away!
Away!
Away!
Away!
Away!
Away!
Ah
Written by: Dave Grohl, Krist Novoselic, Kurt Cobain
