Verse 1
Printed in '78 magazine size
Marvel Super Special number eight
Saga of a Star World fresh off the press
Twenty-three issues of cosmic escape
McKenzie writing Simonson drawing lines
Monthly run from 79 to 81
Ran it till the story was complete
Till the last page had spun
It went cold then Maximum lit the flame
July of 95 Liefeld and Hatch
War of Eden trade paper four books strong
Realm tried in 98 but couldn't match
Pre-Chorus
Since 2006 Dynamite holds the charter
Classic and reimagined on the same altar
Keepin' that fire burning through the years
I'm still chasing down those frakkin' frontiers
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 found the map to Earth in his hazy dream
Light it up Viper rollin' slow
Twelve colonies gone in a purple glow
So say we all in slow-mo
Verse 2
Commander laid out six to twelve
Dreamin' bout Kobol scriptures in a cosmic daze
His boy Apollo took the chair in later years
Leadin' us toward Earth through Maximum's haze
Starbuck the space cowboy cigar still lit
Sold himself to Eurayle to save the fleet
Left behind on Scavenger World alone
Athena on comms Boomer in the trench
Jolly the quiet one finally found the end
Issue twenty-two and twenty-three the coordinates
The planned ending they never showed on TV
Pre-Chorus
Baltar grinnin' with Lucifer at his side
Count Iblis with the devil eyes so wide
Sheba with a blaster Cain on the Pegasus
Ridin' back through Seraph light to us
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 found the map to Earth in his hazy dream
Light it up Viper rollin' slow
Twelve colonies gone in a purple glow
So say we all in slow-mo
Verse 3
War of Eden Baltar's fleet attacks
Sheba shoots Apollo square in the back
Seraphs bring the Pegasus and Cain across
Adama finally dies in that cosmic wrack
Abnett came with Death of Apollo
Ten years out they thought the war was through
But a voice from the past a twist of fate
Drags Galactica back into the blue
Cylon Apocalypse Ghost Squadron stealth black
Starbuck solo books Origins goin' way back
And the ultimate highdea the final crack
Galactica meets Galactica in one timeline stack
Bridge
Yeah Marvel couldn't touch Lost Planet so they made their own Kobol
Realm did Season 2 and 3 three issues and static
Dynamite gave us both continuities
Old-school chrome and skin-job on the same 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 found 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
