Lyrics
1. THE LIGHTS ARE GOING OUT FOR MANKIND,
IF WE DON?T GET THE NUCLEAR CAT BY THE TAIL
I WISH THE BOMBS WOULD GO AWAY,
AND THIS IS WHY YOU MIGHT HEAR ME SAY?
CHORUS: (reggae style strum)
CAPTAIN KIRK RESCUE ME, CAPTAIN KIRK RESCUE ME YEAH
USE YOUR PHASORS ON THOSE BOMBS,
CAPTAIN KIRK RESCUE ME?
CAPTAIN KIRK RESCUE ME, CAPTAIN KIRK RESCUE ME YEAH
USE YOUR PHASORS ON THOSE BOMBS
CAPTAIN KIRK RESCUE ME?
2. BOMBS BURSTING IN AIR, ALL HAIL TO THE CHIEF
THINGS WILL NEVER BE THE SAME, IF WE BLOW OURSELVES TO BITS
Repeat Chorus:
Intro to instrumental ending:
I CAN SEE MY SHIP, IT'S A LIGHT COMING DOWN
COMING TO TAKE ME, FAR FROM THIS PLACE.
