Starcruiser

I'll never forget the first starcruiser I saw

Moving alongside but well spaced out

She was looking for me so I went aboard

It was dark in her hold and almost as cold

As the infinite vacuum itself

We set off in space at a moderate rate

Going faster than light but not worried

I wondered a mite

Bout my forthcoming fate

She was pulsing out fire

While her gauges read higher

Than anything I could believe in

She was a starcruser star starcruiser

Starcruiser star starcruiser

She was a mean starcruiser

And she was cruising me

She was burning me up

And squeezing me out

While the universe grew all around us

My eyes filled with silver

There was gold in my mouth

I longed for a drink I just couldn't think

And the speed it got faster and faster

We arrived at her base

And she showed me her face

Just a glimpse for a second

And then it downed me

I was really knocked out

By her sweet ruthless grace

I saw my fate written there

But by now did not care

I was loyal I loved her I signed on

She was a starcruser star starcruiser

Starcruiser star starcruiser

She was a mean starcruiser

And she was cruising me

I flew with that cruiser for almost a year

My mind it had melted and changed so

I had blown out my circuits

I'd gone out of gear

I was hers all that time

So strange were her crimes

Even now I dare not recall them

Starcruisers are bright

And they light up the night

And their style it is clean and it thrills you

They are cool at the kill

You can't keep them in sight

They will burn out your drive

And they'll drain off your life

And they won't even know they have done it

Starcruiser star starcruiser

Starcruiser star starcruiser

She was a mean starcruiser

And she was cruising me

Star star star star star
