There's a fragile tension
That's keeping us going
It may not last forever
But oh when it's flowing
There's a strange obsession
That's drawing us nearer
There's something mystical in our genes
So simplistic it kicks and screams
We don't understand it
It never get's clearer
There's something mystical in our genes
So simplistic it kicks and screams
There's a fragile tension
That's keeping us going
It may not last forever
But oh when it's flowing
There's a dizzying feeling
That's keeping us flying
There's something mystical in our genes
Something so tragic we have to care
Through glittering galas
Without even trying
There's something mystical in our genes
Something so tragic we have to care
Oh when we're teetering
On the edge of collapse
Nothing can keep us down
Oh when we're teetering
On the edge of collapse
Nothing can keep us down
That's keeping us going
It may not last forever
But oh when it's flowing
There's a strange obsession
That's drawing us nearer
There's something mystical in our genes
So simplistic it kicks and screams
We don't understand it
It never get's clearer
There's something mystical in our genes
So simplistic it kicks and screams
There's a fragile tension
That's keeping us going
It may not last forever
But oh when it's flowing
There's a dizzying feeling
That's keeping us flying
There's something mystical in our genes
Something so tragic we have to care
Through glittering galas
Without even trying
There's something mystical in our genes
Something so tragic we have to care
Oh when we're teetering
On the edge of collapse
Nothing can keep us down
Oh when we're teetering
On the edge of collapse
Nothing can keep us down
