Year One Lyrics |

The Cage
|
I don’t recognize your face but I recognize this place
Is this a memory or a dream or a completely different thing? It’s not what it seems They get inside your brain They make you feel insane They burrow in your head but they don’t want you dead They want you bred You’re not my hero, what are you doing in my world? You’re not my hero, why are you the one with the girl? She seems to be real by the way she makes you feel She’s the only constant thing in a million different dreams Sometimes she’s green You’re not my hero, what are you doing in my world? You’re not my hero, why are you the one with the girl? The only means of escape is to defeat them with your hate But then they still catch up so you decide that you’ve had enough You’ve got to blow them all up You’re not my hero, what are you doing in my world? You’re not my hero, why are you the one with the girl?

The Man Trap
You’re exactly as I remember you
Where have you been all of these years
Is there a place we can go where we can talk and be alone?
It’s strange to run into you here
You’re exactly what I want. You say I’ve got just what you need
They don’t see you the way that I do
To me, you haven’t changed a bit
You’re just as charming and just as intelligent
For all I know you haven’t changed a bit
You’re exactly what I want you say. I’ve got just what you need,
Or so it seems
Salt Vampire, you’re a perfect liar
You show me all I want to see
Your hands on my face
Well they start to erase every trace of the salt from my veins,
And now I see that you lie to me
You know I keep her safely here with me
She’s the last of her dying breed
But now that her supply is thin, it won’t stop her in the end
Why couldn’t everyone just let us be?
And now we’re finding out that there’s a monster in our midst
You know she’s it
Salt Vampire, you’re a perfect liar
You show me all I want to see
Your hands on my face
Well they start to erase every trace of the salt from my veins
And now I see that you lie to me

Charlie X
Tiger Tiger burning bright in the forest of the night
What Mr Evans wants, Mr Evans gets
Saturn’s rings around my head down a road that’s martian red
What Mr Evans wants, Mr Evans gets
Growing up isn’t so much
Growing up in a vacuum can be tough
When is it appropriate to slap girls on the butt?
What Mr Evans wants, Mr Evans gets
Codename: Charlie X
Once upon a midnight dreary while I pondered weak and weary
What Mr Evans wants, Mr Evans gets
Just don’t challenge him at chess
Stop this song if it upsets because
What Mr Evans wants, Mr Evans gets
Growing up isn’t so much
Growing up back on Thasis could be tough
Practicing gay wrestling moves was just too much
What Mr Evans wants, Mr Evans gets

Where No Man Has Gone Before
Me and this girl, we got messed up out there on the edge where it gets rough
We had all gone out to try and find out why the other people had just given up
Me and this girl, we got so high
A flash of silver shining in our eyes
Got put in a sickbed to look at our heads because they thought this shit wasn’t gonna turn out right
Only it was getting better than we ever thought it could
We were getting smarter and we were thinking like we should
Like we had just now woken up after sleeping all our lives
We’d gone where no one had gone before
We were strong, stronger than we ever were before
How could we be wrong when we never knew before
We are just now waking up and now we will rise up
We will start a brand new life as god and goddess standing side by side
Our brain is expanding and we are demanding that you treat us now accordingly
Those who were close confound our plans
Stab in the back of what they misunderstand
But me and my lady, we’re not crazy
We’re just something you can’t wrap your brain around
But we were seeing clearer than we ever thought we could
We were getting wiser and we were acting like we should
Like we’d been sleeping our whole lives and we were just now waking up
We’d gone where no one had gone before
We were strong, stronger than we ever were before
How could we be wrong when we never knew before
We are just now waking up and now we will rise up
Mourning the death of an old friend
He just couldn’t keep up with me
You and her were pretending so this is your ending
You could never ever hope to be like me
And now I will rise up but there’s a rumbling from above…

The Naked Time
They say a vulcan never cries,
So why can I feel these tears start forming?
Sadness and anger, telling lies
Emotions for me are more than disturbing
I know, I know, I know
This blood inside is still half human,
but I shouldn’t be susceptible to this aching heart or the way it’s assuming control
Must hide the tears behind my eyes,
Walk in a room and clutch the table
Sit in a chair and bow my head
Hold on to myself the best I’m able
I feel, I hurt, I love
Can’t happen to me. There is no logic
Must keep it all inside of me
I can’t let it go
Vulcans don’t cry
Vulcans don’t cry
They keep a level head, guided by logic and reason
Vulcans don’t cry
Captain comes in, I’m out of sorts
Just can’t help it, I talk about mother
He tries to snap me out of it
A smack in the face, he gives me another
I deck him in the mouth
He goes sailing over a table
He’s mad and he’s bleeding from the lip
He screams in my face and says
Vulcans don’t cry
Vulcans don’t cry
They keep a level head, guided by logic and reason
Vulcans don’t cry
The ship’s in trouble
I’ve got to get back to my post
There’s an antidote being administered by Bones
Engines imploding, ship saving action by a theory at most
Time travel backward
That might prove useful in a future episode

The Enemy Within
I tried to reason
I tried to change your mind
But you wouldn’t have a part of that, you just want leave it all behind
So I implore you, please give us a chance
I really don’t think I can live without you
I’d only be half a man
I never wanted this
Oh God I feel so pissed
My rage it burns inside and now I have to hide from everyone I see
They don’t believe it’s me
I may be an angry man but I know who I am
I’m having trouble thinking and I can’t seem to choose
I feel myself falling apart
There’s not much I can do
We belong together
I wish that you could see
I will always be a part of you and you will always be a part of me
What am I going through?
Why did I just hurt you?
I’ve taken this too far and now I’ve got this scar
And there’s no place to go and I don’t really know why I’ve got no love to give
But I still want to live
I want to live

Mudd's Women
Hypnotic and distracting
Pushing your engines too hard
Pulled out just in time
Before you took it too far
Our time is fading
Our orbit is decaying
High respiration patterns
Perspiration rates are up
Blood pressure higher than normal
Could be the Venus drug
Eve, Ruth & Maggie
You pulled us into your web
I’m so busy paying attention I didn’t hear what you said
A man goes out and fights
He almost dies
We all almost die
High respiration patterns
Perspiration rates are up
Blood pressure higher than normal
Could be the Venus drug
There’s only one kind of woman
Or a man, for that matter
Either you believe in yourself or you don’t
High respiration patterns

Blood pressure higher than normal
Could be the Venus drug

Perspiration rates are up
Heartbeat rapid
Yeah it’s the Venus drug

What Are Little Girls Made Of?
You were lost and now you’re found in the darkest depths under the ground
We were engaged you disappeared
Not a single word in five years
But now you’re real and you’re alive
What have you done all of this time?
Well things get weird down here
Loyalty is second guessed by fear
Your good intentions won’t save mankind when you take away the freewill and desire
But what are little girls made of?
Well I’ll just do whatever you say
It seems I’ve always been this way
You’re not rational, you’re strange
But the force of your emotion makes a change
Something long forgot comes to my mind
Inferiors do not survive
Well things get weird down here
Romantic advances are not clear
I’m not programmed to serve you
Rejection just leaves me here confused
But what are little girls made of?

Dagger of the Mind
What went wrong in my head?
How’d that other fellow wind up dead?
Who turned that shiny light on?
Why do I feel as if my brain is gone?
What did I come down here to find?
Remember beaming for an away mission
Dr. Noel was on my position
Did we once get freaky at a holiday party?
What could I do? She is such a hottie
What did I come down here to find?
Can’t think for the dagger in my mind!
A crazy guy he pops out of a box
Takes out a couple red shirts, and he’s subdued by Spock
Tried to strap him down and give him some medicine
But he just came to and started to get mad again
We got this call, and he turned out to be
this crazy escaped convict from Tantalus Penal Colony
From there things get fuzzy, and I can’t get hold of Spock
Bones won’t answer, and I think I’m in love with this she-doc
I’m in a lot of pain
And my head feels fuzzy
Hey there’s that Doc Adams guy
Wait I can’t see
What did I come down here to find?
Can’t think for the dagger in my mind!

The Menagerie Part 1
I once was the captain of the Enterprise
In case you remember me, Christopher Pike
Just 13 years but a lifetime ago
We stopped to investigate on Talos IV
First officer Mr. Spock was there too
But you won’t recall names of the rest of my crew
When I reflect back on the ship personnel
They were unremarkable but damn professional
I was the hero
I was exploring strange new worlds
I was the hero
I was the one who always got the girl
I had an accident saving the day
Now there’s more machine than man here on display
I can’t speak now but I can flash lights instead
signal 2 for no signal 1 for yes
My body was broken
Somehow I survived
An invalid, yet still of sound heart and mind
I stop to think of opportunities missed
But I can’t cry because my face stays frozen like this
I was the hero
I was exploring strange new worlds
I was the hero
I was the one who always got the girl
I tried but lost all motor functions instead
Let’s hook up a device just like Macintalk Fred
We could continue watching the transmission
But why not wait until next week till it’s done
I once was the captain of the Enterprise
In case you remember me, Christopher Pike
Just 13 years but a lifetime ago
We stopped to investigate on Talos IV
I was the hero
I was exploring strange new worlds
I was the hero
I was the one who always got the girl

The Menagerie Part 2
Confined within this armored shell
No dreams to fall back into
I’m not the same as you would remember me
The change compels me back to you
Unable to make it to you on my own
The danger’s worth the gain
I once feared that reality could be a dream
But now that doesn’t seem all that insane
And now I see that you are me in a different shell
I know the truth and that, for me, is very well
We’ll make them see that there’s no place for me to be
Except with you inside our own menagerie
I’m not your hero
What was I doing in your world, held captive in a daydream zoo?
Now the utopia that I turned away, calls me back to the place where I left you
So we’ll again go to that place that we both made
It’s in a world that can’t exist but that’s okay
For us it’s real and we won’t have to be afraid just to be
Just you and me, inside our own menagerie

And now I see that you are me in a different shell
I know the truth and that, for me, is very well
We’ll make them see that there’s no place for me to be
Except with you inside our own menagerie
I’m not your hero
What was I doing in your world, held captive in a daydream zoo?
Now the utopia that I turned away, calls me back to the place where I left you
So we’ll again go to that place that we both made
It’s in a world that can’t exist but that’s okay
For us it’s real and we won’t have to be afraid just to be
Just you and me, inside our own menagerie

Conscience of the King
Is this a ghost we find before our eyes tonight
Ears can catch the voice they recognize
Kodos can still be heard, the executioner
He still recites his lines
4,000 dead on Tarsus 4
Tonight will justice be restored?
Is this a ghost tonight, a phantom we invite
Into our lives to terrorize
Authorities they close the case that 20 years defy
A body burned, they could not recognize
4,000 dead on Tarsus 4
Tonight will justice be restored?
The eyes that recognize, recall the face were only nine
But most of those eyes have now been forcibly shut tight
And their vision did compel, a wraith that could fulfill
A determined haunting vengeance on the nine to kill
History’s made its judgement then, Anton Karidian
A phantom guise and twenty years of flight
And at the curtain rise, a haunt stands under lights
Are you forcing a reprise?
4,000 dead on Tarsus 4
Tonight will justice be restored?
“So that some would live, you knew some would have to die”
A colony where half the population lost their lives
The spooks of the past, they still make us hold our breath
But Everywhere you go, you are still pursued by death
Who’s gonna die tonight?
You’re gonna die tonight
Because there’s only two of nine
4,000 dead on Tarsus 4
Tonight will justice be restored?
Daughter, Daughter I was a soldier
Things had to be done
Murder, flight, suicide, and madness
I never wanted my blood on your hands
No, child don’t

Balance of Terror
Angela and Robert
Ready to be wed
Sirens call them to their posts
All decks condition red
An enemy’s attacking
Earth outpost 4
Already gone are 2, 3 & 8
Now they’re trying to blow up more
Angela’s on phasers
Robert is there
She says, “I’m going to marry you,”
So what happens is just not fair
The Romulans destroyed their wedding day
They’re the reason their love was torn apart
The Romulans ruined their wedding day
And they left poor Angie with a broken heart
Meanwhile on the bridge,
Kirk’s got his work cut out for him
The Romulans look just like Spock,
And their captain’s as smart as Jim
So they move around like pieces
On a galactic chess board,
Until a final phaser blast from the Enterprise
But that’s Tomlinson on the floor
The Romulans destroyed their wedding day
They’re the reason their love was torn apart
The Romulans ruined their wedding day
And they left poor Angie with a broken heart
Robert Tomlinson and Angela Martine were destined to live life together
Robert Tomlinson and Angela Martine were thwarted by a balance of terror

Shore Leave
The crew has been fatigued now from so many months in space and they need to take a break
The landing party has beamed down to check out the terrain while the crew gets ready to play
They say there’s only plant life living on this lovely rock but a rodent appears wearing a vest
followed by a blond girl with a terrible accent but at least she gave it her best
Kirk’s tricked by spock
and weapons are hidden under rocks
Sulu shoots a handgun without warning anyone that they might want to stay out of the way
It’s amazing how quickly Angela seems to have moved on after the death of her fiance
She seems so relaxed here that you would not even guess that he died in the last episode
Kirk tells Bones about his days in the academy then he runs into an old foe
Yoeman Barrows screams
Don Juan is not just a dream
I sure want to leave
I think you’d agree
Ruth appears from nowhere and she hasn’t aged a day I think she might be a salt vampire
She might also have the venus drug because Kirk can’t think straight he’s so distracted by her
good thing the antenna didn’t hear what mccoy said, or there’d be armies of don juans around
Sulu sees a samari and then runs into kirk they figure out the phasers are down
Then spock beams down
They’re trapped until they can figure it out
I sure want to leave
I think you’d agree
McCoy defends Burrows against a Knight on a black horse and he says that it can’t hurt him
but he goes down in seconds and then Kirk shoots the black knight but it’s too late he’s dead, Jim
someone steals the bodies and then finnegan appears so they get into a brawl
Kirk orders the team to concentrate on standing still and don’t think of anything at all
Some dude walks out and proceeds to explain what it’s all about
I sure want to leave
I think you’d agree
But we cannot leave until we find out what it’s all about
It’s all make believe nothing is permanent down here it’s just an amusement Bones is now alive so it’s okay for him to say “I’m a doctor not a shishka bob”
park
apparently it’s okay if we trust an unkown race who can read any one of our thoughts.
So be careful what you wish for in this land of dreams come true because you just might get what you want
I sure want to leave
I think you’d agree
But we cannot leave until we find out what it’s all about
I want to know what it’s all about
I want to leave without any doubt
I sure want leave
