"Turpentine" lyrics - BLINK-182
[Intro: Tom DeLonge]
Soaked your clothes in kerosene
Cleanse the mind of ketamine
Slide your mom on top of me
Wash yourself with turpentine!
[Verse 1: Tom DeLonge]
My arms I've raised again
Today I don't feel tethered
I have no path within
Don't know if I'll get better
[Pre-Chorus 1: Tom DeLonge & Mark Hoppus]
My own mind's unclean
Can't taste anything
[Chorus: Tom DeLonge & Mark Hoppus]
What if I'm not like the others?
A broken man, a Frankenstein
What if my heart won't recover?
I'll clean myself with turpentine
[Post-Chorus: Tom DeLonge]
Working at the factory
Stick the veins of nicotine
Wash yourself with turpentine!
[Verse 2: Tom DeLonge]
I feel like I'll cave in
I'm anxious, I am weathered
I've lost my way again
I know there ain't no treasure
[Pre-Chorus 2: Tom DeLonge & Mark Hoppus]
My mind breaks with ease
Sticks and stones and dreams
[Chorus: Tom DeLonge & Mark Hoppus]
What if I'm not like the others?
A broken man, a Frankenstein
What if my heart won't recover?
I'll clean myself with turpentine
[Post-Chorus: Tom DeLonge]
Working at the factory
Stick the veins of nicotine
Wash yourself with turpentine (turpentine, turpentine, turpentine)
[Bridge: Mark Hoppus]
Sharks smell the blood in the water
We're all just lambs to the slaughter
It's only all the time, this time
A generation lost and forgotten
Clawing at the lid of the coffin
Your god ain't comin' back this time
[Interlude: Tom DeLonge]
Quit your job and have a drink
Take a pound of ecstasy
Blah, bl-blah, bl-blah, fuck
Wash yourself with turpentine!
[Chorus: Tom DeLonge & Mark Hoppus]
What if I'm not like the others?
A broken man, a Frankenstein
What if my heart won't recover?
I'll clean myself with turpentine
[Outro: Tom DeLonge]
Like me like a trampoline
Stick your dick in Ovaltine
Snort a bag of dramamine
Douse yourself in gasoline
Throw up in a limousine
Jack off to a magazine
Wash yourself with turpen... tine, goddammit
