: re-incarnation, re-incarnation
: wouldn't it be pure profit -makin'
: if spock comes back as a reincarnation.
: we love you and i guess we always will
: you were dead inside your box
: but suppose you arose and stayed there until
: kirk came back and dug you up
: he looked inside and we all threw up
: there's no re-incarnation, no re-incarnation
: wouldn't it be a sick sensation
: if there weren't no re-incarnation?
