lyrics

JOHN QUINCY CARTER
Hey girl, I know you’re battered and broke
But they need you in the cockpit and it ain’t no joke
Test those ankles and breath through the pain
Trust me, a cheerful figment of your damaged brain

You gotta pull yourself together kid
The survival of your friends means getting to the bridge
Can’t be late, hurry, you’re doing great!
Now: enter the reactor room in this fugue state

And then you flip
The switch
Uh-oh and what is this?
Fix, the glitch
Returning power to the ship

Now, Wake up!
Wake up Sondra
And fire that laser!

Yeah you’re seeing double vision - just focus on the mission, kid. Yeah!
Trust this hallucination, get to your battle station, quick! Yeah!

Just down the corridor, you’re almost there
Don’t focus on the blood that’s matted in your hair
You took a hit, we’ll fix that when we can
But now for this cockpit door - it seems a little bit jammed!

And so you flip
The switch
Patch on into the ship
Fix, the glitch
You’re my queen of fixing it!

Now, Wake up!
Wake up Sondra
And fire that laser!

Oooooo!

[She enters the cockpit, sounds of alarms and shield being damaged, Dankent saying “Sondra!” all dull and drowned out, a dream.]

Now, I know you’re new to space, but with all tech you’re just an ace, so adapt! yEah!
The ships on auto pilot, Bloor’s lying on his side, he’s been zapped! Zapped!

So flip
The switch
Girl, you’re in your element
Fix, the glitch
Charge those blasters, take a breath

And
Wake up x8
Wake up Sondra x2
And fire that laser!!

Calm your hands from their shaking
No time to start fading
Your charging the lasers
And you’re doing great kid
Ooo-oo-oo-oo

Your friends all need saving
So remember your training
It’s as easy as aiming
Set those Null suckers blazing!
OOOOOOOOO!

Wake up, wake up Sondra! x5
And fire that laser!!!
