STARCRUISER--M. Moorcock
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.
[chorus]
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 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.
[repeat chorus]
I flew with the 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
Starcruiser, Star Starcruiser
Starcruiser, Star Starcruiser
She was a mean Starcruiser
And she was cruising me.
