up
this
mornin' Felt
so
sick,
shoulda
stayed
in
bed. But
Ah
struggled
to
ma
feet An'
Ah
came
to
work
instead. Now
Ah'm
bringin'
ma
centrifuge
down Collectin'
samples
to
be
read. No
idea
when
Ah'll
be
thru' Ah've
got
those
DNA
sucrose
sedimentation
density
gradient
blues.
Well
Ah
treated
ma
cells, Gave
'em
so
much,
shoulda
all
been
dead. But
when
Ah
comes
to
look The
buggers
grew
better
instead So
Ah'm
workin'
survival
curves
out L
D
50's
in
ma
head. Dunno
what
I'm
gonna
do Ah've
got
those
DNA
sucrose
sedimentation
density
gradient
blues.
Its
single
strand
breakin'
ma
heart Sends
me
right
back
to
the
start An'
when
they
send
for
the
man In
the
little
white
van Ah'll
be
tearin'
the
Beckman
apart Then
Ah'll
sure
be
thru' Ah've
got
those
DNA
sucrose
sedimentation
density
gradient
blues.
