The Lyrics

Captain's Log, Stardate 2005.203: Spock got very introspective today. I had to remind him of the old saying: When discussing the history of human philosophy, remember to put Horace before Descartes.
Spock: Earth is fine, but sometimes it's asinine.
They are logically sway-backed.
Tempers fly, emotions high
and when I lecture them
they're thinking of some payback.

I was Vulcan born and Vulcan raised
but nowadays I'm lost between two worlds.
Earth is nice, but it seems slow.
Vulcan, lo, I miss it, guys and girls.

"I am, I think"
I said, no joy
and no one heard at all
not even McCoy.

"I think, by damn,
therefore, I am!"
And I am lost in space
with just e-mail spam
leaving me lonely still.

Data: Did you ever read about a kid who was made out of old wood
and became a real boy?
Well, that old story matches mine in many kinds of ways
but I cannot feel joy.

I have got perfect circuits deep inside.
I have tried to act human in this zone.
Though I think faster than any man
as a fake man, it would appear I am alone.

I am, I think.
It is not hard.
And no one heard at all
not even Picard.

"I think, by damn,
therefore, I am!"
And I am lost in space
with just e-mail spam.

I am, I think.
It is not hard.
And no one heard at all
not even Picard.

"I think, by damn,
therefore, I am!"
And I am lost in space
with just e-mail spam.

(fade out)
The tricky part was Data's: I didn't remember that he can't use contractions.
