From the album The Ladder
A wild and wacky rocking ride, complete with nuclear explosion. A metaphor for human relationships being experimental. As an anecdote, I once found myself in the living room of famed biologist Rupert Sheldrake, when he asked to hear this song. Surreal.

Lyrics
THE SCIENCE PROJECT
Chemistry is such that
It can cause a great explosion
Or cure the world of all its ills
Except for love's illusions
You bought up all my theories
A cut and dried transaction
Went somewhere else to use them
Leaving me with calculation
We were experiments gone wrong
Poisonous and flammable
Causing pandemonium
Downright incompatible
Kids
Don't try this at home
When half a brain is damaged
The other will compensate
So where were you when I needed you
When my schemes turned out half baked
