“Imitosis” – Andrew Bird<\/p>\n
He’s keeping busy
\nYeah he’s bleeding stones
\nWith his machinations and his palindromes
\nIt was anything but hear the voice
\nanything but hear the voice
\nIt was anything but hear the voice
\nThat says that we’re all basically alone<\/p>\nPoor Professor Pynchon had only good intentions
\nWhen he put his Bunsen burners all away
\nAnd turning to a playground in a Petri dish
\nWhere single cells would swing their fists
\nAt anything that looks like easy prey
\nIn this nature show that rages every day
\nIt was then he heard his intuition say<\/p>\nWe were all basically alone
\nAnd despite what all his studies had shown
\nThat what’s mistaken for closeness
\nIs just a case for mitosis
\nAnd why do some show no mercy
\nWhile others are painfully shy
\nTell me doctor can you quantify
\nHe just wants to know the reason, the reason why<\/p>\nWhy do they congregate in groups of four
\nScatter like a billion spores
\nAnd let the wind just carry them away?
\nHow can kids be so mean?
\nOur famous doctor tried to glean
\nAs he went home at the end of the day
\nIn this nature show that rages every day
\nIt was then he heard his intuition say<\/p>\nWe were all basically alone
\nDespite what all his studies had shown
\nThat what’s mistaken for closeness
\nIs just a case of mitosis
\nSure fatal doses of malcontent through osmosis
\nAnd why do some show no mercy
\nWhile others are painfully shy
\nTell me doctor, can you quantify
\nThe reason why<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
