Stairway to paper

Here's another one.. this is slightly better than the first one i think.. 1st one was crap..



Stairway to paper

(on the tunes of 'stairway to heaven')


theres a lady who's sure,
all thats stained is gold,
and she's buying a stairway to paper

when she gets there she knows,
if the FACS are all closed,
with a run she can get what she came for
ooh, and she's buying a stairway to paper

Theres a DCSIGN on the cell,
but she wants to be sure,
cuz you know sometimes cells have two stainings

in the cell culture book,
theres a writer who writes,
sometimes all of our cells are mistaken
ooh, it makes me wonder
ooh, it makes me wonder


theres a feeling i get,
when i look to the west(ern)
and my protein is crying for blotting

in my thoughts i have seen,
band of protein through the screen
and the voice of my PI there standing
ooh, it makes me wonder

if its smeared and soon,
if its all in the ruin,
the PI will fire me for no reason

And a new grad will come,
for the gels to be run,
and the PI will fire him after


If theres a smear in your southern,
dont be alarmed now,
its just 'cause your RNA is not clean

Yes there are two kits you can go buy
but in the long run,
theres still time to change the kit you're on
it makes me wonder

your head is aching and it wont go
in case you dont know,
your PI's calling you to join him

dear lady can you hear the warning blow
and did you know,
your stairway lies on the PI's hands


and as we wind down the road,
our results smaller than our goals,
there walks a lady we all know
who stains the cells and wants to show
how everything still turns to gold
and if you work very hard,
and the day will come at last,
when all are gone and one is all
to be a grad and not to fail

and she's buying a stairway to paper..
