[Intro: banjo roll and fiddle] [Verse 1] I'm a little flatworm, a planarian, cut me into pieces and I'll grow back again. Every piece knows which end needs a head, and which end needs a tail, that's how the tale is read. [Chorus] So cut me again, cut me again, I'll grow what I'm missing and be whole again. The plan isn't only in my DNA, there's a voltage pattern that shows the way. Cut me again. [Verse 2] Down in the Levin lab they gave me a dose, a drug that closed the gaps where my cell signals go. Just a short while, then they washed it away, and my middle piece grew two heads that day. [Chorus] So cut me again, cut me again, I'll grow what I'm missing and be whole again. The plan isn't only in my DNA, there's a voltage pattern that shows the way. Cut me again. [Verse 3] Then they cut me again in plain water, no drug, and the pieces grew two heads, the same as before. Not one gene was changed, not a letter was new, the lab reads it as a pattern the body holds onto. [Bridge: just fiddle and voice] Now I won't tell you that I hold a picture inside, the scientists are careful, and they test what they find. But a moment of change made a change that stayed, and that's the part that keeps them up at night, they say. [Final Chorus: full band, harmonies] So cut me again, cut me again, I'll grow what I'm missing and be whole again. The plan isn't only in my DNA, there's a voltage pattern that shows the way. Cut me again, cut me again. [Outro: banjo tag] Two heads are better than one, I guess.
