Lyrics:

Is this real love?
Or is this just brownian emotion baby?

(Verse 1:)
I woke up from a dream last Sunday
Where we first bumped into each other
But you ran away as fast you came
You're a massive force and I am small
How'd we even meet at all?
Your kinetic energy won’t let you stay

(Pre-Chorus:)
So I got back to the board drawing equations
My feelings untold, but I can hide no more
No more

(Chorus:)
I just want to say
Hi to you again
Can we find a way
To slow down your motion
Then I can express my emotions
For you

(Verse 2:)
The room is hot, so you move faster
Maybe we’ll be a beautiful disaster
The probabilities aren’t in our favor
I’m recalculating all my plots
I don’t know if we have time or not
The pressure’s building up inside of my heart

(Pre-Chorus)

(Chorus)
Then I can express my emotions
Then I can express my emotions
Then I can express my emotions
For you

Brownian Emotion

Lyrics:
In labs of white, devoid of life
Where scientists toil day and night
A new creation stirs to form
A miracle of science born

Synthetic embryos, they grow and thrive
In artificial wombs, they come alive
A new frontier, a brave new world
Where nature and tech are unfurled

(Chorus:)
A future where life is engineered
A world of hope, where fears are cleared
Where illness and disease are no more
And life can thrive, forevermore

But with this power, comes responsibility
For playing with life is no small ability
We must be careful, and be aware 
For the future of life is now in our care

So let us embrace this new frontier
But with caution and respect, let us draw near
Synthetic embryos, we hold a key
To a world of wonder, for all to see

(Chorus)
Forevermore
Forevermore

Synthetic Embryo Song

Love song of a purine singing to a pyrimidine on opposite strands of DNA

Music & lyrics by: mpsg

Lyrics:

Hydrophobic attraction
Sweet reaction
I just want to bond with you

You looking like purine
And I’m pyrimidine
But you are a base away

Oh, you’re on the opposite strand
So close yet so far away
Oh, I want to hold your hand
For now this is how we stay
Must this be our fate
Til the end

A frame shift deletion
Is all I’m wishin’
So that we can finally meet

A cut with CRISPR
Unwind the twister
Now we form a hydrogen bond

Oh, you’re on the opposite strand
But now you’re not far away
Oh, I can hold your hand
And this is how we’ll stay
This must be our fate
Til the end

Stuck together
From here there after
Until you need to be transcribed

But I’ll know you’ll be
Back with me
And we’ll be together again

Oh, you’re on the opposite strand
But now you’re not far away
Oh, I can hold your hand
And this is how we’ll stay
This must be our fate
Til the end

DNA Love Song

Song about the meaninglessness of the universe, but it's up to you to create meaning in your life

Music and lyrics by: mpsg

Lyrics:

The starry skies up above don’t care about you
The universe is not calling you to the truth
Your life is one in billions and more we don’t know
But that don’t mean you aren’t special...

Molecules and molecules crashing in... ah...
Entropy driving everything... ah...

(Chorus - evolution:)
And after all this evolution
We’re only here for a short time
And when our world falls around us
Remember you create your life

The deep oceans of sorrow do you no good
Can waste a lifetime crying for what could
Sitting in the backseat and let others drive
And tell yourself you’ll live tomorrow

Waves on waves crashing in... ah...
Trying to control everything... ah...

(Chorus - revolution:)
And after all this revolution
We’re only here for a short time
And when our world falls around us
Remember you create your life

The stars don’t care when you fall
Won‘t respond when you call
Won’t shine brighter around you
I can’t see them everyday
So I must brighten my own way
To finally be among you

(Chorus - evolution)
(Chorus - revolution)

Starry Sky

Song about being shy, but not when it comes to talking about science

Music and lyrics by: mpsg

Lyrics:

I don’t want to step outside
Of my comfort zone
I don’t need to say hi
To you
I don’t want to talk about
The weather
I just need for you...

To tell me late at night
Why the stars come out to shine
Tell me how the atoms align
Tell me how to program my own robot
Tell me how our brains make thought

I can always talk about
Science
I’d rather be reading with you
Right now
Everything in the universe 
Is curious
And let the ego fade out

Tell me late at night
How dopamine makes us smile
Tell me 40 digits of pi
Tell me how many microbes
Are on my skin
Tell me how airplanes fly

I’m not shy
You just don’t interest me
If so, I would come alive
I won’t cry if you don’t 
Talk to me
I’m having fun in my mind

Tell me late at night
How sound travels through air
Tell me how water bends light
Tell me how the Earth 
formed so many layers
Tell me how fire dies

Tell me why I’m shy

Neurotransmitter love song

Music & lyrics by: mpsg & Charlie Van Norman

Lyrics:

I don’t know much about brain chemistry
But I could sure use some dopamine

Action potentials are firing
Vagal vibrations make me want to sing

Oxytocin me 
Oxytocin me
Oxytocin me
That is what I need

Hey there,
Are feeling stressed out?
From time to time
Well there’s a chemical that can help you out
Gamma amino butyric acid
Gamma amino butyric acid
Gamma amino butyric acid
For me

All these interactions are hurting my brain
I think some day I might go insane

I took some drugs that inhibited my pathways
Making me some brand new roads through the mind maze

Oxytocin me
Oxytocin me
Oxytocin me
That is what I need

Gamma amino butyric acid
Gamma amino butyric acid
Gamma amino butyric acid
For you and me

Oxytocin me 
That is all we need

Oxytocin Me (feat. Charlie)

Epic battle between bacteria infection and white blood cells

Music & lyrics by: mpsg & Charlie Van Norman

Lyrics:

A scrap, a cut on the knee
Lots of things are happening molecularly

Bacteria's invading we slipped through the cracks
An open highway for those toxic maniacs

Oh sound the alarm, oh basophils
Tell the neutrophils it’s time to score some kills

Kills, they got the message from the histamines
Now we gotta worry about those future vaccines

(Chorus:)
Never-ending battle in the blood stream
Calm on the surface but its not what it seems
Billions of invaders enter my body
My army of white blood cells keeps me healthy

And now, defenses are up
We put up a wall where the enemy struck

Blasted macrophages you’ve won for now
We’ll be back again the next time you say “ow"

My bouncer B cells are watching you
Remember this fight and our friends will too

(Chorus 2x)

Bloodstream Battlefield (feat. Charlie)

Sea shanty about climate change and climate action to the tune of Irish Rovers' "Drunken Sailor"

Music originally by Irish Rovers

Lyrics and arrangement by Manic Pixie Science Girl

Lyrics:

What shall we do with global warming
What shall we do with global warming
What shall we do with global warming
To save the earth

Save the polar bears and penguins
Save the polar bears and penguins
Save the polar bears and penguins
And ourselves

Oh we must come together
Oh we must come together
Oh we must come together
Elect new politicians
Create new legislation
Regulate emissions
Invest in carbon capture
Eat less meat
Buy sustainable things

Climate Shanty (Drunken Sailor Parody)

A love song about two mice in a cage

Video: https://youtu.be/wmCcByAiAZY

Lyrics:

I wake up next to you every day
Your little face puffs up as we eat some food
Our days always go the same way
Someone comes to pet us then gives us a shot

We’ve got pebble, we’ve got water, we’ve got shelter
But most of all we have each other

(Chorus:)
Oh, it’s me and you
In this cage for two
Not much else to do
Oh, just you and me
And our bedsheets
This is how we’ll be
I hope we’re both in the control group
I hope we’re both in the control group

I wake up cuddled up next to you
Your little paws stretch out then you go for a walk
There’s not a lot of places you can go
So we must find ways to stay entertained

We’ve got hope, we’ve got warmth, we’ve got comfort
But most of all we have each other

(Chorus)
