Out of six million sperm cells I came in first And won a warm moving body... A warm...moving...body. I get to see hear touch taste smell My partner Attracted by the odor I respond to the stimulus A gene machine Surrounded by a cell wall Protective shell of similar units We are the ones The ones that won the bodies The warm...moving...bodies... Skyscraper cells, full of water A portion of water, structure and substance Scientifically different than the monkey... Turn back the hand of time With a youthful chin line (chorus) Look sharp feel sharp be sharp see sharp Head to foot and cellar to attic... Lovely hair deserves fine care There's a five o'clock shadow Beneath skin level (chorus) An anonymous sperm bank donation Stepping in a roll of propagation Versatile hands and a well-developed larynx A nose that blows Tongue that licks... Now lets Turn off the sentences And turn on the senses On our warm...moving...bodies...

When the sun goes down And leaves this unit all alone I stand up to face him Because i'm tired of this lie life When no one hears my shoes And no one sees my face I feel just like a fast fog That goes dancing past the street light When the sun goes down And leaves this unit all alone I stand up to face him Because i'm tired of his lie life Surrounded by smells Surrounded by sounds I feel life on my skin Like a fog that's on a street light So quietly i yell It's my time now... Invisible man What i want to be The crest of a wave Escaping the sea A dot of the fog Evaporating The part of the wind That lives in the night I-night
