Album version

[Intro] So where are ya? It's been a little while [Chorus] Sippin' on straight chlorine Let the vibe slide over me This beat is a chemical, beat is a chemical When I leave, don't save my seat I'll be back when it's all complete The moment is medical, moment is medical Sippin' on straight chlorine [Verse 1] Lovin' what I'm tastin', woah Venom on my tongue, dependent at times Poisonous vibrations, woah Help my body run [Refrain] I'm runnin' for my life Runnin' for my life [Chorus] Sippin' on straight chlorine Let the vibe slide over me This beat is a chemical, beat is a chemical When I leave, don't save my seat I'll be back when it's all complete The moment is medical, moment is medical Sippin' on straight chlorine [Verse 2] Fall out of formation, woah I plan my escape from walls they confined Rebel red carnation, woa-a-oh Grows while I decay [Refrain] I'm runnin' for my life Runnin' for my life Yeah, I'm runnin' for my life Runnin' for my life [Verse 3] Hide you in my coat pocket, where I kept my rebel red I felt I was invincible, you wrapped around my head Now different lives I lead, my body lives on lead The last two lines may read incorrect until said The lead is terrible in flavor But now you double as a paper maker I despise you sometimes, I love to hate the fight And you in my life is like [Chorus] Sippin' on straight chlorine Let the vibe slide over me This beat is a chemical, beat is a chemical When I leave, don't save my seat I'll be back when it's all complete The moment is medical, moment is medical Sippin' on straight chlorine [Interlude] Let the vibe, let the vibe Let the vibe, let the vibe Beat is a chemical, yeah Let the vibe, let the vibe Let the vibe, let the vibe Moment is medical, yeah Sippin' on straight chlorine Let the vibe, let the vibe Let the vibe, let the vibe Beat is a chemical, yeah Let the vibe, let the vibe Let the vibe, let the vibe Moment is medical, yeah [Outro] I'm so sorry I forgot you Let me catch you up to speed I've been tested like the ends of A weathered flag that's by the sea Can you build my house with pieces? I'm just a chemical Can you build my house with pieces? I'm just a chemical Can you build my house with pieces? I'm just a chemical Can you build my house with pieces? I'm just a chemical
