	Story Behind the Song I am an extremely passionate, right-brained guy living in the left-brained world of medicine and technology. I often find paradoxes between what I think and how I feel and spend a good deal of energy trying to reconcile the two, usually without much success. Isaac Asimov once wrote an essay entitled The Trouble With Science in which he warns that the greatest threat to the science-fiction writer is the scientist. The science-fiction writer will conjure up some fantastical scheme that is beyond the realm of human possibility. Then the scientist will come along and invent it or create it or discover it, leaving one less mystery for the science-fiction writer to muse about. The best example of this concept I can think of is from the 19th century, when Jules Verne wrote From the Earth to the Moon. In his story, three men were shot out of a cannon off a platform in Florida on December 1st 186- (he never reveals the exact year) to the moon. They orbit the moon and then, in his sequel Round the Moon, return to the earth and land in the water. One hundred years later - on December 21st, 1968 - three men - Frank Borman, Jim Lovell and Bill Anders - were launched - not using a cannon, but a very big Saturn V rocket - from Cape Canaveral, Florida to the moon. They orbited the moon ten times on Christmas Eve, then returned to earth and landed in the water. The only mystery that seems to be left any more is love. But even in this mystery of mysteries, the scientists are closing in... Lyrics Chemical Bond Got this funny feeling coming over me Feel a little woozy, sorta weak in the knees Its got me wondring - is this love that Im feeling? The Science Man says - you got it all wrong It isnt love thats making your heart beat so strong Its a genetic condition, a predisposition When that woman walks over your way Your response is determined by your DNA Evolution will decide if she turns you on Its as predictable as counting the toes on your feet Its a statistical certainty your heart skips a beat It isnt love that youre feeling - its really just a chemical bond Those ruby red lips - looking so fine Theyre just a marker, an external sign Of a healthy condition, of adequate nutrition And the curves of your body driving me wild Are telling me youre capable of having my child To enhance propagation of the human population And your wry sense of humor thats blowing my mind Means your intellectll get us out of a bind Escape a fire or a saber-toothed tiger Can this be love - this way that I feel? Conditioning makes the emotion so real But now I understand - the mysterys gone The chain reaction when our eyes meet Its a synaptic connection - the circuits complete It isnt love that Im feeling - its really just a chemical bond Love is just genetic with a copasetic girl like you - © 1999 Ross D.
