This song is based on a prompt to write a song inspired by/incorporating a random sentence from a book. The sentence I got when I opened a book Sarah had left on the coffee table was 

"Milk is a mammalian innovation" from the book "I contain multitudes" by Ed Yong

#randomsentence


When we started out We were all just tiny cellsW
Floating on instinct in warm gooey gels

We got bigger, faster, split and multiplied
somehow growing larger even though we divide

(Milk is a mammalian innovation)
(Milk is a mammalian innovation)

Complexity, complexity, things began to change
sparks began to process in our preganglial brains

As our power grew, our four limbs began to stretch
With sturdy packs of backbones, and flexing sturdy necks

(Milk is a mammalian innovation)
(Milk is a mammalian innovation)

These days we love to argue, but we're only splitting hairs
but when hairs split on their own they caught us unawares

As we cover up with fur, it's now too hot to think
Splayed out praying to the moon, throats aching for a drink

(Milk is a mammalian innovation)
throats aching for a drink
(Milk is a mammalian innovation)
throats aching for a drink


(Evil laughter)

Milk Is A Mammalian Innovation
