Anatomic Reaction

I never understood what's on the front of me

It always seemed like some kind of insanity

An accident -- erroneous ontogeny

And that is why I'm changing my anatomy.

Sometimes the cells divide into calamity

Sometimes I think I must need a lobotomy

Who wants to be a freak from a laboratry

But even so I must change my anatomy.

Ohh... maybe it's best to let it go...

Sometimes the things you think you want are no better than the things you know.

Ohh... if you think things over long enough

you'll begin to wonder whether up is down.

(solo)

Brains don't always match up with biology

You can't make everything right with technology

But leaving things unchanged just makes a sadder me

So that is why I must change my anatomy.

Ohhh... that I could wake up in a different universe

Maybe it would be better, though possibly it could be worse

Ohh... if you doubt yourself hard enough

you'll begin to wonder whether up is down.

I never really wanted to make progeny

I've had more than I wanted of ontogeny

It's time to undo the things that shatter me

And that is why I must change my anatomy.
