Intro - Spoken, half-sung
Nineteen-sixty-seven, four-color beaming
No transporters, just paper dreaming
Gold Key hiss on the spinner rack
Kirk looks like a space cowboy, no turning back
Verse 1
Bearclaw on point, Bryce on helm in blue
Chu-Sa chirping triage, Konom growling Qapla' too
DC let the beta-canon bloom
New ensigns on the old deck, fresh ink in the room
Pre-Chorus
Every panel built from scratch
Every story no one watched
Fifty years of pages turned
Still we learn
Chorus
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
Post-Chorus
Ya-ree, ya-ree
Betrayal in the cut
Verse 2
Malibu on the habitat ring, 32 issues deep
Marvel brought the cadets, Omega, Nog can't sleep
Pike on Talos IV, before Kirk took the seat
Old face, new frame, every license bittersweet
Pre-Chorus
Upright bass walking slow
Half-time, let the story grow
Trades and titles come and go
Chorus
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
Post-Chorus
Ya-ree, 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
Sax Solo
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-hmm
