Mirror Mirror on the Hull

Intro

Nineteen-sixty-seven, four-color beaming

No transporters, just paper dreaming

Kirk draped in a space-cowboy draw

Syndication crackle on the living-room wall

Verse 1

DC got the license in seventy-nine

Finally free to draw outside the line

Bearclaw on point, Bryce on helm in blue

Chu-Sa chirping triage, Konom growling Qapla' too

DC let the beta-canon bloom

Pre-Chorus

Brave new crew on a painted page

Shuttle smoke, a Klingon's rage

Every panel a first-contact day

Every corner a brand-new way

Chorus

Mirror mirror on the hull, ISS-D black and gold

Picard with a 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

dee-bop, ya-ree, betrayal in the cut

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

New crew, old ghost, hand in hand they meet

Pre-Chorus

Year ninety-three, the rights were spun

Ninety-six and another run

Every imprint left its mark

Every station glows in the dark

Chorus

Mirror mirror on the hull, ISS-D black and gold

Picard with a 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

dee-bop, ya-ree, betrayal in the cut

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

Too Long a Sacrifice on these Dominion days

Outro

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

Mm-mm, mm-mm, mm-mm-mm
