[Lyric] Relics (The Duras Sisters)

She’s Galaxy class, this new Enterprise-D
With a thousand or more in her crew
Technology light years ahead of my time
I feel ancient and useless and blue

I only wanted to lend them a hand--
To prove to myself I still could
I’m much more than a transporter pattern
I’d hoped I could still do some good

[Chorus]
But I’m a relic, just a relic
And I must face this time alone
As a relic, an old relic
Far from what I’ve always known

Ya think that my plan is just crazy, I know
But I’m telling you, lad, I’ve done worse
All my career, I’ve robbed Peter and Paul--
It’s a miracle workеr’s own curse
You take command. I don’t want, my lad
And togethеr we’ll open this sphere.,
The Cavalry’s charging up old San Juan Hill
Guess they’re lucky old Scotty was here

[Chorus]
Just a relic, an old relic
But I know it’s going to make the trip
As a relic, this old relic
Is still a bonny, fine old ship

Well, I’m an ancient, old fish out of water, LaForge
And the years, they have left a few scars
I’ve decided, though, I’m too young to retire
I’d rather set sail by the stars

I see the wonders that call to me now
So I’ll make up the time that I’ve lost
There’s still some new tricks that this old dog can learn
The prospect is well worth the cost

[Chorus]
Though I’m a relic, this old relic
Is feeling younger every day
I’m a relic, Starfleet’s relic
Sent to now from yesterday
