The Latent Gene
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Mary's baby's eyes are blue he is to be the chosen few
There's just one thing she's got to do to conceive the latent gene
His absent father's watching him from a gene pool where a billion swim
Where mutants form on just a whim and conceive the latent gene
My generation's lost it's patience playing with the world within
Accelerated saturation out of our minds on saccharin
Mary's baby's eyes are green potential power still unseen
Morals cleansed in ethylene and conceive the latent gene
Mary's baby's eyes are black a dinucleic heart attack
And the doctor says he's coming back to conceive the latent gene
My generation's lost it's patience playing with the world within
Accelerated saturation out of our minds on saccharin
She hears a voice inside her head when all is quiet and she's in bed
It's hard for her to understand the mindspeak of her little man
How can a baby have two mothers adopted long before it's born
Conceived by another and from a second torn
But in this safe and confined world within this cookoo's changing it's spots
An outcome unforeseen now we see the latent gene
The doctor's scientific discipline can't stop him changing the plot
An outcome unforeseen now we see the latent gene
Faltering telepathy reaching out into his mother's mind
Mary's baby's eyes are grey evolution gone astray
Changes in his dna have conceived the latent gene
My generation's lost it's patience playing with the world within
Accelerated saturation out of our minds on saccharin
