Erie

With a grin on her face,
Captain Sky welcomes the research crew aboard.
There he is, the man of the hour,
The most punk rock researcher she’s ever heard of.
[Hook]
“In academic circles, you are of particular infamy.
Everyone knows your name, Erie,” she says.
“Pleased to make your acquaintance, Captain.
It does get more interesting here than in the academy.”
[Chorus]
Science, wonders, and profit!
We don’t let the law get in the way of progress.
In Erie’s crew, we make science regardless of laws
And sometimes skirt the orders—
That’s how we roll!
The ships dock in the deep space station.
Tam Right sorts the cargo and the scientists.
“Erie comes back with you and a fake cargo,” he tells Jane.
“I’ll chaperone you, we’ll lie together.”
[Hook]
“You’re the most trouble
I’ve ever had with a passenger, Erie,” Jane grins.
Erie chuckles, “I’ll send you articles and
A complimentary basket on the double.
Without your help, we wouldn’t have been able to win.”
[Repeat Chorus]
Science, wonders, and profit!
We don’t let the law get in the way of progress.
In Erie’s crew, we make science regardless of laws
And sometimes skirt the orders—
That’s how we roll!
[Breakdown]
All aboard, let’s roll!
