[Verse 1]
I'm gonna go back to the mountains where my father was
Cause I see it in his step and in everything he does
Revisit my home and the memories
Locked in every chromosome, my face in every key

[Chorus]
You can't be throwing away
Every misfire
Cause the catalyst parade is breeding
Animal desire
And I can see my son someday making faces in a crowd
He won't be singing in tune but he'll be singing out loud and singing
Patera, ooh
Patera, ahh

[Verse 2]
And I can see my eyes, oh my gosh they're starting to look so wild
Is this the man? All I know is the child
Mama’s little boy with his pants falling down
In the middle of the street, no wonder he's a clown

[Chorus]
And you can't be throwing away
Every misfire
Cause the catalyst parade is breeding
Animal desire
And I can see my son, he's just like me
It hurts so much not to set him free
Patera, ooh
Patera, ahh
[Verse 3]
Now my life is dashing past me like a figure in a storm
Nothing but the cold I just drift to keep me warm
I'm busting out and there's no use complaining
What already happened is all that's in vain

[Chorus]
And you can't be throwing away
Every misfire
Cause the catalyst parade is breeding
Animal desire
And if you see my son, don't tell him where I'll be
Cause if I know him he's gonna be with me
Patera, ooh
Patera, ahh
