Some just want a quick ride (lytic phase)
Some hide in your DNA (provirus nap)
Some need a mosquito’s flight (arbovirus date)
Some cause a fever’s height (dengue surprise)
Some swap their RNA to DNA (retro rewind)
Some want your cells to clone (replication grind)
Some party in your nose (rhino’s delight)
Some need BSL-4 lights (deadly nightlife)

Chorus twist:
Virus dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree?
They’ll hijack cells with such technique
You’re just a host to me!

For anyone else who needs a quick Eurythmics fix now, I'll save you a step.

Damn, Annie Lennox's eyes were piercing people with her glances.

I'm angry this song has gotten popular again, because it was always 10x more grating than the rick roll (I hear was removed from youtube?)

Great. Now I'll always think that this PVRIS song is about a super spreader.
