GZ Top - A Car Called Enterprise

GZ Top - A Car Called Enterprise

I got a crazy idea
I get them all the time
I've got a warped mind
I've had close encounter
Of the science fiction kind.

CHORUS1
I've got needs
It's pathological
To build myself a starship’s highly logical
I guess this'll come
As no surprise
I'm gonna build a car and
Call it Enterprise

It's gonna be a bruiser
Sexy and dishy
It’ll be a Space Cruiser
But not that shitty one built by Mitsubishi
It’s a hot rod
With automatic sliding doors
From the Mirror Universe
Rotten to the warp core.

CHORUS2
I've got needs
It's pathological
To build myself a starship’s highly logical
I guess it'll come
As no surprise
I'm gonna build a car and
Call it Enterprise

Guitar solo

It’ll have phaser headlights
And photon pistols
And hanging from the mirror
A pair of furry
dilithium crystals

MID8
I know it sounds crazy
But I wanna be Kirk
It's a Corbomite-like manoeuvre
But this one’ll work
It's gonna cost a fortune
But it's gotta be done
I'll buy a private number plate NCC 1701
I'll buy a private number plate NCC 1701

CHORUS3
I've got needs
It's pathological
To build myself a starship’s highly logical.
I guess it'll come
As no surprise
I'm gonna build a car and
Call it Enterprise
I'm gonna build a car and
Call it Enterprise.

I'm gonna build a car and
Call it Enterprise
I'm gonna build a car and
Call it Enterprise.
