Frakkin' Fire Since '76

Verse 1

They printed it first in '78 magazine size

Marvel Super Special number eight

Saga of a Star World right before your eyes

Then twenty-three issues monthly '79 to '81

McKenzie writin' Simonson drawin' till the story was done

It went cold then Maximum lit up in July of '95

Liefeld and Hatch bringin' the fleet alive

War of Eden in December four books strong

Realm tried to keep the light in '98 then it was gone

Dynamite holds the charter both worlds on the same altar

Pre-Chorus

Frakkin' fire burnin' since two thousand six

Old chrome and new skin side by side

Chorus

Ohhhhh driftin' through the red eye of a Cylon

Adama dreamin' in the Memory Machine

Starbuck lost on Scavenger World with the pirate queen

Jolly got the map to Earth in his hazy dream

Light it up Viper rollin' slow

Twelve colonies gone in a purple glow

Verse 2

Commander Adama laid out from six to twelve

Dreamin' bout Kobol scriptures in a cosmic haze

His boy took the chair in the later years

Apollo leadin' us toward Earth in Maximum's fears

Starbuck the space cowboy cigar still lit

Sold himself to Eurayle just to save the fleet

Athena on comms Boomer in the trench

Jolly the quiet one who finally found the end

In twenty-two and twenty-three romance and coordinates for Earth

Pre-Chorus

Baltar grinnin' with Lucifer at his side

Count Iblis with the devil eyes

Chorus

Ohhhhh driftin' through the red eye of a Cylon

Adama dreamin' in the Memory Machine

Starbuck lost on Scavenger World with the pirate queen

Jolly got the map to Earth in his hazy dream

Light it up Viper rollin' slow

Twelve colonies gone in a purple glow

Verse 3

War of Eden Baltar's fleet attacks

Sheba shoots Apollo in the back

Seraphs bring the Pegasus and Cain across

Adama finally dies in that cosmic wrack

Then Abnett came with Death of Apollo ten years out

The fleet thought the war was through

But a voice from the past a twist of fate

Drags Galactica back into the blue

Bridge

Yeah Marvel couldn't use nothin' after Lost Planet of the Gods

So they made their own Kobol

Realm did three issues and static

Dynamite gave us both continuities on one hash pipe

Chorus

Ohhhhh driftin' through the red eye of a Cylon

Adama dreamin' in the Memory Machine

Starbuck lost on Scavenger World with the pirate queen

Jolly got the map to Earth in his hazy dream

Light it up Viper rollin' slow

Twelve colonies gone in a purple glow

Light it up let the Tylium burn low

So say we all in slow-mo
