AU REVOIR

                AU REVOIR

Galileo, Galileo, Galileo,

sung to the tune of Mona Lisa, Mona Lisa, Mona Lisa,

then throw in Giordano, Giordano, Giordano

and Bellarmino. Bellarmino, Bellarmino.

Auto-de-fế is passé but Inquisition lives,

disguised as Peace on Earth,

you can get it on Google.

From my self-imposed house arrest,

I send this farewell note to nobody:

how many civilizations will come and go

before Big Being turns off the sun?
