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"
