DNA

[Verse 1]
So they say the Earth is breathing like
An asthmatic crack addict

Quick fix pollution in her rivers and seas like
Too many drugs in her veins

So you got lost in the desert
With your two little strands of caterpillar DNA
What you gonna do about it?
Do you believe there's anything you can do about it?

They say it's human nature

[Chorus]
12 strands of DNA
Oom-da-de-umma-de-umma-da-ah

12 strands of double DNA
Oom-da-de-umma-de-umma-da-ah

12 strands of DNA
(Is today gonna be like yesterday?)

12 strands of double DNA
(Who's to choose who's defining human nature?)

[Verse 2]
So I think I'd rather like
To smell as well as hear
The roses grow

Taste the lightning
Dance the colours of the wind
Like a forest in flow

Or we could dance in the desert
I could kiss the tingle in your fingertips
You could tell me I'm beautiful
I could say
I could look at you and say
"You have become an angel"
"Butterfly angel"

[Chorus]
12 strands of DNA
(Is today gonna be like yesterday?)

12 strands of double DNA
(Is tomorrow gonna be like today?)

12 strands of DNA
(Is tomorrow gonna be something new?)

12 strands of double DNA
(What you gonna choose?)

[Verse 3]
Whose sun is this that's
Beating down from such an unforgiving sky
Why should I spend my time
Feeling like a bad excuse
Just because I'm human?

So are you
You wanna try something new (It's in the DNA)
It's gonna happen anyway (It's in the DNA)
Because it's human nature
To be a butterfly

[Chorus]
12 strands of DNA
(Is today gonna be like yesterday?)

12 strands of double DNA
(Is tomorrow gonna be like today?)

12 strands of DNA
(What you gonna choose, what you gonna choose?)

12 strands of double DNA
(Is tomorrow gonna be something new?)
Oom-da-de-umma-de-umma-da-ah

12 strands of DNA
(Silver drops of the first spring rain)

12 strands of double DNA
(How much closer to infinity do you wanna play?)

12 strands of DNA
(Dew drops after the midnight rains)

12 strands of double DNA
(Spiderweb diamonds in a dancing spiral)
