I'm Dead, Jim

I was running Romulan ale
 Across the Neutral Zone
 Picked up a hitcher around DS4 
 So I wouldn’t warp the years alone

He was as thin as a skeleton
 And his uniform was torn to shreds
 I said, “Buddy are you okay?”
 And this is what he said
 He said, “No”
 He said, “No. I’m dead Jim”

I told him he was mistaken
 And my name wasn’t Jim
 He told me he’d been a doctor
 Back in the federation way back when

And then I noticed something was wrong
 ‘Cause his presence sort of filled me with dread
 Then he repeated his words to me 
 And this is what he said
 He said, “No”
 He said, “No. I’m dead Jim”

And then he started to babble
 About bones and things
 He pulled out a hypo spray 
 And overdosed on Cordrazine

He called me a green-blooded freak
 And then he really started acting bizarre
 By then I wanted him out of my rig
 I said, “Buddy are ya goin’ far?”
 He said, “No”
 He said, “No. I’m dead Jim”

I landed on a planet
 I couldn’t take anymore
 I walked around to his side of the rig
 I made a fist and opened up his door

But when I looked inside he was gone
 It should have come to me as no surprise
 ‘Cause I realized my passenger was
 The ghost doctor of the early Enterprise
 He said, “No”
 He said, “No. I’m dead Jim”

And as I got back in my cab
 I heard him say one last thing
 “Tell Nimoy, I’ll see him real soon"
