Lyrics
- From a popular version
When you pick up from the crust
Thrust is a must
And when you get up high
Impulse is your guide
And if you want to reach your destination still alive
Make sure that you have warp drive
Faster than light
No left or right
Faster than light
No left or right
When you hit a narrow pass
Throw a shuttle up that valley
So said Hollis Calley
He did
And if you want to get the lasses really like a pro
You have to be HCO
Faster than light
No left or right
Faster than light
No left or right
When you crashland on a planet
Be sure do it with a Janet
Fuel's leaking your canister
You need lady not a mister
And when you're only seconds from a really mean warp breach
Grab a girl you would like to teach
That
Faster than light
No left or right
Faster than light
No left or right (encore)
