I
am spinning
 
I’m spinning to you and you are not me
The lengths that I will go to
replace your halide
Oh no, you’re so stable
but you want to bond
That's me with the methyl,
that's me methoxide
Losing my electrons
Fighting the energy
and I don't know if I can do it
 
Oh no, I've pushed too much,
I haven't pushed enough
I thought that I saw a nitro
I thought that it was para
I think I thought I saw
us bond
Of every atom
 
of every shaking vial,
I'm choosing my reagents
Searching for electrophiles
 
As a lost, broken methanol
Oh no, I’ve pushed too much,
I set it up
Consider this,
consider this, the hint of resonance
 
Consider this
the complex
that brought you all your needs, please
What if pi electrons come flailing around?
 
Now I’ve pushed
too much
I thought that I saw a nitro
I thought that it was para
I think I thought I saw us bond
 
 
But you are just benzene
You are just benzene
That's me with the methyl,
that's me methoxide
Losing my electrons
Fighting the energy
and I don't know if I can do it
Oh no, I've pushed too much,
I haven't pushed enough
I thought that I saw a nitro
I thought that it was para
I think I thought I saw
us bond
But you are just benzene
Bond, fond, why, bond?
You are just benzene,
just benzene
Just benzene
