Imitosis

He's keeping busy
 Yeah, he's bleeding stones
 With his machinations and his palindromes
 It was anything but hear the voice
 Anything but hear the voice
 It was anything but hear the voice
 That says that we're all basically alone

 Poor Professor Pynchon had only good intentions
 When he put his Bunsen burners all away
 And turning to a playground in a Petri dish
 Where single cells would swing their fists
 At anything that looks like easy prey
 In this nature show that rages every day
 It was then he heard his intuition say
 We were all basically alone
 And despite what all his studies had shown
 That what's mistaken for closeness
 Was just a case for mitosis
 And why do some show no mercy
 While others are painfully shy
 And tell me doctor, can you quantify?
 'Cause he just wants to know the reason, the reason why

 Why do they congregate in groups of four
 Scatter like a billion spores
 And let the wind just carry them away?

 Our famous doctor tried to glean
 As he went home at the end of the day
 In this nature show that rages every day
 It was then he heard his intuition say
 We were all basically alone
 Despite what all his studies had shown
 That what's mistaken for closeness
 Is just a case of mitosis
 Sure fatal doses malcontent through osmosis
 And why do some show no mercy
 While others are painfully shy?
 Well, tell me doctor, can you quantify
 The reason why?
