Lyrics

Every song, every book, every work, ever made,
since time began,
they're all about the same things, sex and death,
so let's go back to

All the single-cells,
who lived primordial,
they didn't have to multiply,
they didn't have to age and die.
When we left the ocean,
for sexual reproduction,
the reaper came soon after,
to turn us all into cadavers.

Our brain machines made dopamine,
and split us off in twos,
so without death there would be no love,
without love there'd be no you.
Biology is tragedy, but I don't think that's true.
All good things must, all good things must die.

We pay the price for love.
And I would never give you up.

Parthogenesis is just paralysis,
A Darwinian dead-end,
a limitation we could transcend.
Even though someday,
we'll get old, ugly, and gray.
It's an easy sacrifice,
it's a bargain at the price.

Reality is bittersweet,
but there's no day I'll rue,
for without death there would be no love,
without love there'd be no you.
Biology is tragedy. I don't care that we're doomed.
All good things must, all good things must die.

We pay the price for love.
And I would never give you up.

Maybe it's the oxytocin talking when I say,
that I refuse to let you go until I pass away.
Who wants to live forever?
Something I'd never choose,
I'll sacrifice eternity
Just like Superman II.

Our brain machines make dopamine,
and split us off in twos,
so without death there would be no love,
without love there'd be no you.

We die and pay the price for love.
And I would never give you up up.
All things must die and pay the price for love,
And I would never give,
would never give,
would never give,
would never give,
Never give you up.

Our brain machines made dopamine,
and split us off in twos,
but without death there would be no love,
without love there'd be no you.
Without death there would be no love,
without love there'd be no you.
