Arsenic Baby

from Karmadillo at Geek Pop by Karmadillo

lyrics

Verse:

In sediment from California's Mono Lake / an experiment took place / which changed / how we see cellular machinery
Phosphates were replaced / with arsenates an equivalent base / the GFAJ-1 microbe strain / survived
It should have died
But this one lived...

Arsenic should be poison / Harbinger of cellular destruction / attracting sulphates groups / and messing up molecule routes
The cell is fooled into thinking / its one of the six molecules it should be drinking / a phosphourous double / leading to trouble

Let's, get, one thing straight / It's still carbon based / just like birds and bees / and the boys and girls
Its full of amino acids / that don't exist / in organic masses / found across the rest of the world

Chorus:

It's life, Jim, not as we know with
With arsenic, which nothing else copes with
made
from a microbe strain

A form, that's, been theorized
Has now, been, made alive
brand new
cellular take
