TURPENTINE Songtext
von blink‐182

Soaked your clothes in kerosene
Cleanse the mind of ketamine
Slide your mom on top of me
Wash yourself with turpentine

My arms, I′ve raised again
Today I don't feel bitter
I have no path within
Don′t know if I'll get better

My own mind's unclean
Can′t taste anything

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

Working at the factory
Stick the veins of nicotine
Wash yourself with turpentine


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

My mind breaks with ease
Sticks and stones and dreams

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

Working at the factory
Stick the veins of nicotine
Wash yourself with turpentine
(Turpentine, turpentine, turpentine)

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


Quit your job and have a drink
Take a pound of ecstasy
Blah, bl-blah, bl-blah, fuck
Wash yourself with turpentine

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

Light me like the 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 turpentine, goddamnit
