Mary's baby's eyes are blue
He is to be the chosen few
And 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 its 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 its patience
Playing with the world within

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 its 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
