VERSE 1
I've never seen a phaser in the flesh
I cut my teeth on wedding rings in the Holovids
& I'm not proud of my address in an Iowa town, no postcode envy
But every song's like
Smashing bottles, going out for joy rides
Blood stains, barfights,
Counting stars from lone fields
We don't care, we're driving convertibles in our dreams
But everybody's like
Heroic legends resting on your records
Medals, Credits
Giving all the orders
We don't care, we aren't caught up in your bureaucracy
CHORUS
& we'll never be Admirals (Admirals)
It don't run in our blood
That kind of lux just ain't for us
We crave a different kind of buzz
Let me be your Captain (Captain)
You can call me Si-ir
& baby I'll lead (I'll lead, I'll lead, I'll lead)
Let me live that fantasy
VERSE 2
My crew & I we've cracked the code
We count our bruises on the shuttle to the starship
& everyone who knows us knows
That we're fine with this, we didn't come for credits
But every song's like
Smashing bottles, going out for joy rides
Blood stains, barfights,
Counting stars from lone fields
We don't care, we're driving convertibles in our dreams
But everybody's like
Heroic legends resting on your records
Medals, Credits
Giving all the orders
We don't care, we aren't caught up in your bureaucracy
CHORUS
& we'll never be Admirals (Admirals)
It don't run in our blood
That kind of lux just ain't for us
We crave a different kind of buzz
Let me be your Captain (Captain)
You can call me Si-ir
& baby I'll lead (I'll lead, I'll lead, I'll lead)
Let me live that fantasy
BRIDGE
Oooh Oooh Oh
We're bigger than we could demand
& I'm in love with my Command
Oooh Oooh Oh
Space is great just like at sea
We aren't caught up in your bureaucracy
repeat CHORUS
