[Verse 1: Stephan Jenkins]
The chromosome divides, multiply and thrive
And the strong survive, and the strong survive
And a spaceman fucked an ape
Then cut out on the date
And now it's much too late
The space ship has escaped
Let it go

[Chorus: Stephan Jenkins]
We're lacking something
Good, something good
Is this all for nothing, oh?
Good, something good yeah
(Boom tick tick, and who skipped the long play?
Boom tick tick)

[Verse 2: Stephan Jenkins]
The chromosome divides, multiply and thrive
And the strong survive, yeah the strong survive
And the grandson of an alien wears his snakeskin boots
And shows his reptile roots
He shows his reptile roots

[Chorus: Stephan Jenkins]
We're lacking something
Something good, something good yeah
Is this all for nothing, yeah?
Show me the goods, something good yeah

[Bridge: Stephan Jenkins]
(Boom tick tick and who skipped the long play?
Who skipped the record and who amped what you say?)
I want to sing a song that's my own
I want to be the DJ

[Chorus: Stephan Jenkins]
We're lacking something
Something good, something good yeah
Is this all for nothing, yeah?
Show me the goods, something good yeah

[Verse 3: Stephan Jenkins]
The chromosome divides, multiply and thrive
And the strong survive, yeah the strong survive
The chromosome divides, multiply and thrive
And the strong survive, and the strong survive

[Outro: Stephan Jenkins]
And it's all right, it's all right, yeah
It's a long night, it's a long night
A long night, it's a long night
It's a long night, long night
A long night
A long night
It's a long night
(Alright, alright
When the plane takes off you'll know it
When the plane takes off you'll know it)

[Coda: "The Red Summer Sun"]

Third Eye Blind from San Francisco Mission District Mostly guitars with other things knocking around Riffs and deep beats Lyrics are expanded in a kinda hip hop way That wrong thing you’re not supposed to say- we say it Black on Black pretty much from the beginning It took us so long to get things this way but it really feels like we are underway now Jacked on coffee we are a fabulously disorganized bunch We seek impact with friends try to surf whenever we can dirty jokes looking out for each other we have eyes and a voice so no surprise when we speak the fuck up We care about shit No sequencers no backing tracks not a DJ group We believe in the gathering power of music Guess you could say we are a motherfucking rock band Born in shadow, made of lions, loud as fuck
