Dr. Stein LyricsOnce they killed his monster when it went into a trap

now he's making better ones on a higher stepOn a warm summer day the doctor went away

to a place where he could make it realhis assistant's hips were nice

so he cloned her once or twicenow his hips are aching what a deal

Dr. stein grows funny creatureslets them run into the night

they become greatrock musicians

and their time is rightSometimes when he's feeling bored

he's calling it a dayhe's got his computer and they do in their own wayThey mix some dna, some skin and a certain spray

you can watch it on a laser screenand the fellow's blue and grayor sometimes pink and greenjust check it out on halloween

Dr. stein grows funny creatureslets them run into the night

they become great politiciansand their time is right

One night he cloned himselfput his brother on a shelf

but when he fell asleep that nightit crept up from behind and thought "well, never mind "

took a syringe and blew out his lifeDr. stein grows funny creatures

lets them run into the nightthey become a great possession

and their time is rightDr. stein grows funny creatures

let's them run into the nightthey become a great oppression

and their time is right
