Lyrics:

mary's baby's eyes are blue he is to be the chosen few

there's just one thing she's got to do to conceive the latent gene

his absent father's watching him from a gene pool where a billion swim

where mutants form on just a whim and conceive the latent gene



my generation's lost it's patience playing with the world within

accelerated saturation out of our minds on saccharin



mary's baby's eyes are green potential power still unseen

morals cleansed in ethylene and conceive the latent gene

mary's baby's eyes are black a dinucleic heart attack

and the doctor says he's coming back to conceive the latent gene



my generation's lost it's patience playing with the world within

accelerated saturation out of our minds on saccharin



she hears a voice inside her head when all is quiet and she's in bed

it's hard for her to understand the mindspeak of her little man

how can a baby have two mothers adopted long before it's born

conceived by another and from a second torn



but in this safe and confined world within this cookoo's changing it's spots

an outcome unforeseen now we see the latent gene

the doctor's scientific discipline can't stop him changing the plot

an outcome unforeseen now we see the latent gene

faltering telepathy reaching out into his mother's mind



mary's baby's eyes are grey evolution gone astray

changes in his dna have conceived the latent gene



my generation's lost it's patience playing with the world within

accelerated saturation out of our minds on saccharin
