While youre astray on Deep Space 9
with Rolodex control
Shaggy manes on occupants
confusing two lost souls

Eleanor rides into love
she gives the same old line
wanders into training charts
their authors tongues were tied



Mercury responds to guilt
Its thorough to a fault
no reason to apologize
without a grain of salt

Im really sorry youve been fed
without the proper cream
the catalog neglects the eggs
to save the cost of steam



Filled with Perry Comos songs
we know he couldnt spell
and so we translate lyrics
yet know the lies they tell

The two lost souls regain the field
the label wonders why
we entertain on treadmills
and then reward with pie



Eleanor, she shows regret
its too late to be smart
the flip side of her recipe
meanders from the start

Youre still astray on Deep Space 9
the cancellation shows
but its too hard to flip the switch
to something no one knows



Mercury has dulled the pain
with substances still banned
But rubbing salt into the wound
works better than with sand

Now we find that youve attained
a private vat of cream
and had a dozen eggs preserved in
coolness by the stream

Perry Como takes a bow
and thanks the two lost souls
their garbled comprehension
has let him take control
