lyrics

in the time before time cells divide and multiply
and changes made changes that had no reason at all
that had no reason at all
that had no reason—

oil burning on the stove
gabriel guessed some life would grow
from after-school freezer food
mary said, “how could this be true?”
how could this be true?

and you, you turn into another one

see the window above the sink
gabriel said that god knows everything
there’s a bug trapped in the screen
mary said, “just let me be”
just let me be

and you, you turn into another one
sing, “hark! the angels quote jurassic park”—
and wash their hands of all earthly things
and let the garden go, untending
they say,

“life, oh life, oh life
um, finds a way”
life, oh life, oh life

in the time before time cells divide & multiply
each time to leave some behind
so each kind-of wonders what made them better
doctors scoff at empty forms
as if to say, “son, you’re twenty-four
try and live a little more!”
so i sign

and i, i turn into another one
sing, “hark! the angels quote jurassic park”—
and wash their hands of all earthly things
and let the garden go, untending
they say,

“life, oh life, oh life
um, finds a way”
life, oh life
you want to eat me alive

through the double-doors at nine
reception says, “you’re right on time
just sow your seeds into this glass”
joseph says, “i guess i’ll try”

but the only thing in these magazines that’ll turn you on
are the cologne ads with the perfect abs looking down like gods
with cruel eyes, hands on their thighs
as if to say “be fruitful and multiply”
