Intro - spoken, half-sung
Nineteen-sixty-seven, four-color beaming
No transporters, just paper dreaming
Gold Key on the spinner rack
Cowboy Kirk with lasers on his back
Verse 1
DC got the keys, opened every door
William Bearclaw first, then Nancy Bryce in blue
Chu-Sa chirping triage, Konom growling Qapla' too
Morelli held the line while the syndication grew
Pre-Chorus
Comic books were the only screen
When the tube went dark and quiet
They filled the gap between
Chorus
Beta canon bloomed on the page
Every crew a different age
Malibu circled the habitat ring
Marvel shipped the cadets, Nog can't rest a thing
Verse 2
Thirty-two issues deep on the DS9 trade
Pike walked Talos before Kirk ever made the grade
Starfleet Academy class of ninety-six
Omega Squad midnight checks on the physics
Pre-Chorus
Flip the rights and flip the frame
Every imprint writes its name
Across the quadrant just the same
Chorus
Beta canon bloomed on the page
Every crew a different age
Malibu circled the habitat ring
Marvel shipped the cadets, Nog can't rest a thing
Bridge
Odo's rain on level five, a shape that won't hold still
Quark's got a corgi in the bay, latinum collar shine
Fool's Gold glitters til it rusts
But loyalty's the only line
Drum Breakdown
Chorus
Mirror mirror on the hull, ISS-D black and gold
Picard with a dagger now, not a stoic book to hold
Troi never follows orders, never does what she's told
Terran Empire running wild, the Mirror War is bold
Dee-bop ya-ree, betrayal in the cut
Dee-bop ya-ree, the strut
Outro - whispered
From Gold Key to IDW
Beta's where we roam
Not canon but canon-ish
Still feels like home
Spin it again at Quark's
After hours alone
