Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Like most babies smell like butter
His smell smelled like no other
He was born scentless and senseless
He was born a scentless apprentice
[Chorus]
Hey, away
Go away
Go away
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
Hey, away
Go away
Go away
[Verse 3]
I lie in the soil and fertilize mushrooms
Leaking out gas fumes are made into perfume
You can't fire me 'cause I quit
Throw me in the fire and I won't throw a fit
[Outro]
Hey, away
Go away
Go away
Go away
Go away
Go away
Go away
Written by: Dave Grohl, Krist Novoselic, Kurt Cobain
