Fooled by Science (2003)
If church bells ring,
or when choir girls sing,
then they will have stumbled
while the others most surely will have crumbled.
Let's hope another space shuttle does not perish,
because that is what in the terrorist's heart he does cherish.
The pilot hoping his parachute will deploy
while a grand scene he does enjoy.
If we should happen to ever meet in my sleep
I can assure you that your soul will be mine to ever keep.
Now that this experience is in my past,
please allow me to exit here very fast.
