So Say We All in Slow-Mo

Verse 1

Printed first in '78, magazine size

Marvel Super Special number eight

Saga of a Star World splashed across the stand

Then twenty-three issues, monthly in demand

McKenzie writin' Simonson drawin' till the tale was done

It went cold then Maximum lit up in ninety-five

Runners and Hatch bringin' the fleet alive

War of Eden strong, four books wide

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

Adama laid out in the Memory Machine

Dreamin' of Kobol scriptures in a cosmic haze

Apollo took the chair in later years

Commander leadin' us toward Earth through Maximum's fears

Starbuck the space cowboy cigar still lit

Sold himself to Eurayle just to save the fleet

Left behind on Scavenger World alone

Athena on comms Boomer in the trench

Pre-Chorus

Jolly the quiet one finally found the end

Coordinates for Earth that they never showed on TV

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

Bridge

War of Eden Baltar's fleet attacks

Sheba shoots Apollo in the back

Seraphs bring the Pegasus and Cain across

Adama dies in that cosmic wrack

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

Final Chorus

So pass me the charts to Earth man I can't read the stars

Lost on the flip side of Kobol with two Vipers and three bars

Adama's dreamin' Apollo's dyin' Starbuck's always leavin'

But the comics keep the fleet alive every time we stop believin'

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
