about

Inspired by an article referring to the works of Joseph Banks (J.B.) Rhine and Carmine Mirabelli,

lyrics

Speaking For The Skeptics
(M. Girio)

Revealed as just a hoax
Or a table tilt with magic tricks
While poorly lit by candlesticks

And although we're holding hands
There's nothing to substantiate
They're using wires to levitate
I have had enough

J.B. RHINE, OR MIRABELLI
WELL, THEY MIGHT HAVE SEEN THE TIME
OR THE LOVE THAT I'M SENDING YOU
BUT THEN YOU WON'T READ MY MIND
WHAT'S THE WORD THAT I'M SEARCHING FOR
WHEN IT'S YOU I WANT TO FIND
TRYING TO MAKE THAT CONNECTION
BUT YOU'RE ALWAYS ON THE LINE

I told you how I feel
But you will never listen to me
Not even telepathically

I'm skeptical at heart
There is reason to speculate
When I'm put on hold and I have to wait
I have had enough

J.B. RHINE, OR MIRABELLI
WELL, THEY MIGHT HAVE SEEN THE TIME
OR THE LOVE THAT I'M SENDING YOU
BUT THEN YOU WON'T READ MY MIND
WHAT'S THE WORD THAT I'M SEARCHING FOR
WHEN IT'S YOU I WANT TO FIND
TRYING TO MAKE THAT CONNECTION
BUT YOU'RE ALWAYS ON THE LINE

The medium is love
The message is extrasensory
Because you won't even look at me

Clairvoyance has its charm, you said
So does telekinesis, my dear
Use it to let me know you're here
I have had enough

J.B. RHINE, OR MIRABELLI
WELL, THEY MIGHT HAVE SEEN THE TIME
OR THE LOVE THAT I'M SENDING YOU
BUT THEN YOU WON'T READ MY MIND
WHAT'S THE WORD THAT I'M SEARCHING FOR
WHEN IT'S YOU I WANT TO FIND
TRYING TO MAKE THAT CONNECTION
BUT YOU'RE ALWAYS ON THE LINE
