(a duet between “mitochondrial eve” + “y-chromosomal adam”)
(singing to each other despite the thousands of years that separate the two)
so can you please please tell me what i’m missing?
who is meant to reign and whose lips i should be kissing…
cuz early in the morning i’ll come crawling…
’til later in the evening when my zanzibar is falling…
so can you please please tell me what i’m missing
why does my orion have to hide in the abyss?
no longer in the shadow of your sorrow
leave it for today until i dream of it tomorrow
because it starts with you and me
hold onto the things we’ll never say
hold onto the things that we will never say
i loved me a lowlife anyway
and when it’s 95 degrees
on a well-done day
some played right along and some refuse to play
she loved me a long time anyway
there’s an artform and a science to the things we do
all’s fine with me…now let me run it by you
there’s a couple certain things that we will never see
do do do do me, do do it just for me
there’s a couple other things that we would never do
do do do do it, i do it all for you
