Side A from our second release in 1980, a single, with iNight as side B

lyrics

Out of six million sperm cells
I came in first and won a warm moving body
a warm moving body, a warm moving body
I came in first and won a warm moving body...
We are the ones, the ones that got the bodies
We are the ones, the ones that got the bodies

The warm...moving...bodies...

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 got the bodies
We are the ones
The ones that got the bodies

The warm...moving...bodies...

Skyscraper cells, full of water
A portion of matter, structure and substance
Scientifically different than the monkey...
Turn back the hand of time with a youthful chin line
Turn back the hand of time with a youthful chin line

On our warm...moving...bodies...


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

We are the ones
The ones that got the bodies

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...
