I'll lay it out for you if I am able It's more complicated than I could invent It takes a knowledge of the periodic table And I am miles out of my element But it's all my fault For making something bound to be volatile Shake it up, shake it up, grab it It's all my fault For always trying to break a molecule Instead of this habit I know this isn't love What was I thinking But I have not been drinking So it must be chemical I need the antidote For what you slipped me My heart is tripping So it must be chemical I've got my finger on this lithium illusion And i'm refusing to participate I was blinded by a different kind of fusion Now i'm starting to hallucinate But it's all my fault For always trying to mix my metaphors Haven't we been through this It's all my fault For swearing that we'd both be better off for it Under the influence I know this isn't love What was I thinking But I have not been drinking So it must be chemical I need the antidote For what you slipped me My heart is tripping So it must be chemical I'm in the market for a seed of what i'm taking I want to grow it in my backyard The high is good so long as everyone is faking It's in the morning when you come down hard It's all my fault For dabbling alone in chemistry Thought it was easy And it's all my fault For believing that you're little mystery drug Could please me I know this isn't love What was I thinking But I have not been drinking So it must be chemical I need the antidote For what you slipped me My heart is tripping So it must be chemical
