about

(Dark but rocking tune about having a genetic mutation that predisposes a woman to cancer.)

lyrics

Three and twenty unmatched pairs

Like lovers, mother and father

Caterpillars lying side by side

Cover for lapses of each other

Myriad little nuts and bolts

To keep the body in functioning order

Mass producing molecules

An organism’s bricks and mortar

Unlucky number in the set

Malfunction in a certain gene

Location BRCA2 on chromosome 13

On chromosome 13
A problem has been located

Amino acid 1257

Proteins emerging truncated
The hand of fortune rolls the dice

With every move of the one good gene

Not a slip can I afford on chromosome 13

Is this a blessing or a curse?

Thanks be to God and call the nurse

Scarlet letter on my breast

Marks me as different from all the rest

’Cause I’m a mutant

Now the job is left to one

The partner in the pair

No longer allowed to fail

Perfect proteins for cell repair
Unlucky number in the set

Malfunction in a certain gene

ocation BRCA2 on chromosome 13
