Chorus:
But still his rise through station ranks is really going much too slow
But still his rise through station ranks is really going much too slow
But still his rise through station ranks is really going much much much too slow.
I'm now the liason to this crazy woman and her foolish quest
And so I've got to travel to G889 with my wife Bess.
But I've got plans to stake a claim on some uncharted treasure there
And when we get back home then Bess and I will soon be millionaires!
Chorus:
And when they get back home then Bess and he will soon be millionaires
And when they get back home then Bess and he will soon be millionaires
And when they get back home then Bess and he will soon have lots and lots of dough!
We crashed a zillion miles away from where we were supposed to land.
To get to New Pacifica a trip to find supplies was planned,
But when we finally made it to the cargo pod's familiar wall,
We found out that this planet wasn't uninhabited after all!
We ran into this maniac who nearly led us all astray,
We grew a horse out of a can but thanks to Gaal he ran away.
I got stung by True's kitty cat and was almost a fatality
And I play with my VR gear 'cause I can't take reality!
Chorus:
And he plays with his VR gear 'cause he can't take reality
And he plays with his VR gear 'cause he can't take reality
And he plays with his VR gear 'cause he can't take reali-ali-ty
I got a little nervous 'cause this Grendler kept on following me.
We found some folks from the other pod who had a serious malady.
I traded with the Grendler for the slobber that would cure us all--
I came back with the Grendler's drool but very little clothes at all!
My wife was very proud of me but I don't like this habitat
and still I am the model of a modern stations bureaucrat!
Chorus:
His wife was very proud of him but he doesn't like this habitat
And still he is the model of a modern stations bureaucrat!
My wife saw fit to tell me she'd had thoughts about another guy--
I felt my world come tumbling 'round me, and I thought that I would die!
In VR I told Bess' father all that I could not tell her--
She heard me and we got remarried and the term's forever!
Chorus:
She heard him and they got remarried and the term's forever
She heard him and they got remarried and the term's forever
She heard him and they got remarried and the term's forever-ever!
I saw a chance to make a fortune but I did not stop to think.
Bess and I were nearly frozen and we hurt the Terrian's link.
And so I took a step to undo all the damage I had done:
the Morganite, it did the trick, but not before my brain was stunned!
My wife inhaled some pollen that compelled her to go north somewhere--
I wanted to believe her, but I feared she would not make it there.
I finally inhaled the pollen so that we could reach our goal--
And at the mesa coughed the pollen out into this great big hole!
It turned up the planet's thermostat:
I helped make spring--imagine that!
Not bad for the model of a modern stations bureaucrat!
Chorus:
In short we think he's getting used to living in this habitat--
No longer quite the model of a modern stations bureaucrat!
