Genesis 2.0

Daddy was a basketball star
Mother the diplomat
Saving Bulgaria
Home in time for brunch
Dad invented rock and roll
Last life he was Chopin
He told me I was Georges Bizet
He influenced me again this way
I was on the lazy suz
Spinning moniker Master DJ Jew
When Mom threw away the LSD
The VCR still talks to me

What'd you lose?
I don't know
Who lost who?
I don't know

Gran pa pá was Einstein's right hand man
Gran ma má made all their master plans
J.M. Barrie, her biggest fan
She gave him the cred for Peter Pan
Winston Churchill was Daddy's God Dad
That's how I have his black dog
Nero sits beside the windowsill
Smokes his pipe and chooses birds to kill

What'd you lose?
I don't know
Who lost who?
I don't know
Forever wants a truce?
I think so
Yet who lost who?
I don't know

Mum created crystal radio
Her second love Genesis 2.0
Studied Phil Collins on the way to school
I mistook reverb for God
Where was Reverb the day Dad died
We lost him at the free throw line
Scoreboards set him free
If you see Dad tell him I love him
And the next drink's on me

What'd you lose?
I don't know
Who lost who?
I don't know
Forever wants a truce?
I think so
Yet who lost who?
I don't know
