Star Wars Lullaby
Star Wars Lullaby
Sing to the skies a Star Wars lullaby
Stay clear of the pentagram and other unkind signs
That sway out there on waves of outer space
Fly to foreign planets, riding like a rhymer
Alive! Sailing on a solar wind in peace through time
Take guitar in hand, euphoric in the moment
With the other hand hold laser gun with beams of light
To fight the Imperial forces gathering
What will it be?
A rhymer knows just what to do and think
Should you shoot them?
Maybe wave a torch or magic wand
Strum them to death with music?
Lull them off to sleep with artistry and good looks?
A geek stumbles on the scene, thick black rimmed glasses on
Falls on cosmic tapestries to entice the enemy
He offers alternate solutions for the unwanted company
Extends his half eaten sandwich made of tuna
To the evil forces who reject his fishy lunch
And Darth Vader wants a ham…of course
Geeks read Tolkien to improve their minds
And prefer that to the dark side of the force
It would be an optical illusion to think otherwise
With or without geek glasses
Escaping on a wave of music at the speed of light
Is the clear choice to avoid a fight
The void is there, like a brother, to fill in noise and needs
Put out the torch and let the babies sleep
Rock the evil empire to its knees with lullabies and bombs
Set them on rockets to the deep beyond
Send them to oblivion with a song
