Intro - spoken, half-sung
Nineteen-sixty-seven, four-color beaming
No transporters, just paper dreaming
Kirk lookin' like a space cowboy
Gold Key taught the whole crew how to fly now
Verse 1
DC got the license, opened up the gate
Bearclaw on point, Bryce on helm in blue
Chu-Sa chirping triage, Konom growling Qapla' too
DC let the beta canon bloom
Morelli in the corridors, running out the room
Pre-Chorus
Every world they never showed
Every story never told
Comic panels made them bold
Chorus
From Gold Key to IDW, beta's where we roam
Not canon but canon-ish, still feels like home
So spin it again at Quark's after hours
Federation paper stars, all the power
Verse 2
Malibu on the habitat ring, thirty-two issues deep
Marvel brought the cadets, Omega, Nog can't sleep
Pike on Talos IV, before Kirk took the seat
Half-time on the upright, bass line in the street
Pre-Chorus
Every crew they never made
Every trip that never played
Big two flipped the rights, betrayed
Chorus
From Gold Key to IDW, beta's where we roam
Not canon but canon-ish, still feels like home
So spin it again at Quark's after hours
Federation paper stars, all the power
Bridge
Odo's rain on level five, shape-shiftin' blue note minor
Quark's got a corgi in cargo bay, latinum collared liner
Fool's Gold glitters but loyalty pays
Mirror mirror on the hull, ISS-D black and gold
Picard with dagger not a book, Troi never does what she's told
Terran Empire swing, do the Mirror War strut
Dee-bop, ya-ree, betrayal in the cut
Chorus
From Gold Key to IDW, beta's where we roam
Not canon but canon-ish, still feels like home
So spin it again at Quark's after hours
Federation paper stars, all the power
Outro
Spoken, fading, vinyl crackle
From Gold Key to IDW, beta's where we roam
Not canon but canon-ish, still feels like home
So spin it again at Quark's after hours
