Captain Skeptic Kill Joy At Your Service If You Will

Show me a miracle
Or
Magic trick

And all i can think is how was it done

That is the level of sceptic i have become

With every believer comes a sceptic

Enter front and left Captain Sceptic

Sporting miracle,
Betting scandal

Predict the future,
Calculate the odds algorithm

Magic trick,
Smoke and mirrors slight of hand

If it's to good to be true it generally is

And there is no such thing in life 
that's free 

That doesn't come with strings attached

The greatest piece of single advice
a burns survivor ever imparts is

Read the small print fastidiously
before signing

Otherwise you are going to need the
services of a very good lawyer

This is a Beautiful expression of trickery and magic. "With every believer comes a sceptic" scepticism is a virtue... I'm with you...
