Miller

In the park, in the dark
Where we know we shouldn't be
There we stand, to a man
Entranced by your story
It's a tale of your sail
Across the endless sea
'til they left you here on Earth

Well the 'chelle might've well
Been the greatest ship around
Over 5 hyperdrives
Maybe 8? I didn't count
Glowing green, should've seen
Her streak across the sky
But they couldn't bear my crimes

Oh alien sleeper, what's that you say?
Oh alien sleeper, take me away
The others may scoff, but I know it's true
Hard sleeper, I believe you

We'd be dead if you'd said
What you really thought
They can think, in a wink
A human can be taught
We're a threat, I can bet
They'd have wiped us all away

Instead they'll make you slaves

Oh alien sleeper, what's that you say?
Oh alien sleeper, take me away
The others may scoff, but I know it's true
Hard sleeper, I believe you

You must prepare yourselves for one day they will return
There are many things you've yet to learn
Too little time to brace for all-out war
Your training begins now

Oh alien sleeper, what's that you say?
Oh alien sleeper, take me away
The others may scoff, but I know it's true
Hard sleeper, I believe you
Oh alien sleeper, what's that you say?
Oh alien sleeper, take me away
The others may scoff, but I know it's true
Hard sleeper, I believe you
Hard sleeper, I believe you

Jack

Chattan, you've gotta wake up, you can't be late for work again
Somebody's gotta make batteries, and that someone's you
Don't tell me you spent all night in the park
I don't trust that bum, who know's what he'll do?

Oh my lot in life is to endure a Hell
Called Duracell®, I might as well
Cause I can never seem to ever get a break
They always take and take. It makes my heart ache

Chattan, you've gotta stop playing those scratch-off lotto games
You might as well throw your money straight in the trash
Better yet, you could give it to your best friend Jack
You know me, I could always use the cash

Oh my lot in life is to endure a Hell
Called Duracell® I might as well
Cause I can never seem to ever get a break
They always take and take. It makes my heart ache

Chattan, you gotta calm down
Your life's just not that bad
There's plenty of people out there who have it worse by far
You've got a job, you've got your friends, you've got your home and health
Now hurry up, it's time for work. Will you get in the car

You're right, Jack, I don't know what came over me
Just a fantasy, melancholy
But sometimes I can't help how I feel
I wish they were real. Chattan stop that spiel

Oh my lot in life is to endure a Hell
Called Duracell® I might as well
Cause I can never seem to ever get a break
They always take and take. It makes my heart ache

Cmdr. Drake Starkiller

Stand back my trusted compatriot
Lest you get yourself hurt
These aliens are too dangerous
For one such as you to flirt

But fear not, I will protect you friend
And handsomely save the day
I ask nothing but your gratitude
There's no way you could repay

For I am a hero with dashing good looks and roguish charm
I am a hero, my gadgets adorn my mighty arms
I am a hero, and you are my sidekick, and together we'll save the world
I am a hero, I am important

Fear not princess, I'm here for you
Though legions stand in between
You and I and your rescue dear
These aren't the worst odds I've seen

I'll fight, and I'll be victorious
And bring you safely back home
Then one day soon I shall win your heart
More precious far than your throne

For I am a hero with dashing good looks and roguish charm
I am a hero, my gadgets adorn my mighty arms
I am a hero, and Jack is my sidekick, and together we'll save the world
I am a hero, I am important

Do not be afraid, we
Shall soon have saved the lady
The alien menace be
Vanquished completely
(To the sky)

Do not be afraid, we
Shall soon have saved the lady
(To the sky)
The alien menace be
Vanquished completely

For I am a hero with dashing good looks and roguish charm
I am a hero, my gadgets adorn my mighty arms
I am a hero, and Jack is my sidekick, and together we'll save the world
I am a hero, I am important
I am a hero, I am important
I am a hero, I am important
I am a hero, I am important
I am a hero, I am important

Nina

Chattan, you should just go talk to her
I've watched you there staring all night
Tho the guy she's with is much bigger
And he sure looks like he can fight

She doesn't know you're the better man
She doesn't know you're the best guy here
Tonight
Tonight

Chattan, your problem is confidence
You know you're a likeable guy
But every time that this girl talks to you
You just freeze up, and you die

But she'll never know you're the better man
She'll never know you're the best guy here
Tonight
Unless you tell her tonight

Chattan, are you alright? Talk to me
The guy just knocked you flat out
Sorry, bro, I meant to have your back
But he grabbed the girl and he ran out

But now she knows you're the better man
Now she knows you're the best guy here
Now she knows you're the better man
Now she knows you're the best guy in her life
Tonight

Song of the C

"La da
La da-di-di da
La da
La da-di-di da"

I watch the world fall around me
I watch my city burn around me
Tho the day started so well
In the end it turned out to be heck

And all around me my oppressors say:
"La da
La-da-di-di-ya
La da
La-da-di-di-ya
"

I set out to woo my lady
Though her father the governor did hate me
Three dark ships pulled into the harbor
Then one hoisted the Jolly Roger

And all around me my oppressors say:
"La da
La-da-da-dya
La da
La-da-da-da
"

What happened next happened so fast
I blacked out 'til it all had past
I awoke to see the slaughter
They had taken the governor's daughter

And all around me my oppressors say:
"We are the singing pirates (la da, la-da-da-dya)
You can't stand up to us (La da, la-da-da-dya)
We've pillaged many a city (La da, la-da-da-dya)
And will continue to do thus (La da, la-da-da-dya)
We are the singing pirates (la da, la-da-da-dya)
You can't stand up to us (La da, la-da-da-dya)
We've pillaged many a city (La da, la-da-da-dya)
And will continue to do thus (La da, la-da-da-dya)
"

Estavez Park

Jack, they've taken her, let's let's launch a rescue mission
Jack, we've gotta go find her, Jack they've taken the princess
Chattan just calm down, you're drunk and concussed
You're not thinking straight, so listen to us

Jack, what are you saying? Don't you want to go save her
From the evil clutches of alien invaders?
Chattan drink this water, I'll call a doc
You sure lost it when that guy cleaned your clock

I see it now, they've gotten Jack, I must break their control
I can't lose my best sidekick, they can't have his soul

Jack, I'm feeling better, just got a little shaken
Let's go walk it off in that park across the way then
Chattan I still think you could use some help
But you aren't insured though, so what the hell

It's all so clear, they've gotten Jack, my mentor knows what to do
Captain Miller has the facts, he can unbrainwash you

For I am a hero, with dashing good looks and roguish charms
I am a hero, my gadgets adorn my mighty arms
I am a hero, and you are my sidekick, and together we'll save the world
I am a hero, I am important
I am a hero, I am important
I am a hero, I am important

Trunk

What is this magical place I find? Colors dance before me
The gentle roar of a siren's song, calling me softly to sleep
Then the silken caress of a tire iron jolts me abruptly awake
All I see is dark, all I hear is noise as the old Malibu starts to shake

Chattan that hobo has finally snapped, it's all coming back in a haze
I think he hit me with a ton of bricks, then the old coward ran away
Chattan, will you please go break his face? He's really wrecking my buzz
Hey, what a night, now we're both concussed, but we'll forever be best buds

Master, how can we save him? He's still under their spell
Captain Drake, you know they'll keep the cure deep in the bowels of Hell

Take the fight to the alien base, and win it now for Jack
If you can't succeed in the moment of truth, he's never coming back
And your training will be for naught, humanity will be forgot
If you blow this shot, you will be forgot

Chattan, let me out of the trunk
Chattan, let me out of the trunk
Chattan, let me out of the trunk
Chattan, let me out of the trunk
Hey, Chattan! (Chattan, let me out of the trunk)
Chattan! (Chattan, let me out of the trunk)
Chattan! (Chattan, let me out of the trunk)
Chattan! (Chattan, let me out of the trunk)
Chattan! (Chattan, let me out of the trunk)
Chattan! (Chattan, let me out of the trunk)

Col. Hyde Terafoil

Johnny, that creep from the bar, I think he's following us
I think he means you harm, for me he means much worse
I think he's gathered his friends, they're moving across the park
We need to get out now before he catches us
He reeks of danger, a lifetime of hate
We need to move before it's too late

When you start to slip, and time slows down, it'll never run slow enough
For you to dig your claws into the ground, crawl back where you belong

Johnny, what's up with this car? The one that's circling the block
I think he's stalking us, I think he's taunting us
Johnny, we'll go down this way, the car can't follow us there
We can outpace him on foot, Johnny please hurry, I'm scared
He reeks of danger, a lifetime of hate
We need to move before it's too late

When you start to fall, and time slows down, it'll never run slow enough
For you to feel your feet touching the ground, run back where you belong

The end of a dark street, the driver cold, menacing
Grinds to a halt slowly, and steps out to confront me
To the sky
(The end of a dark street, the driver cold, menacing)
To the sky
(Grinds to a halt slowly, and steps out to confront me)

Connie you've got to run off, I'll stay here and hold him back
No matter what don't turn around, I love you don't turn back

For I am a hero, doing what I know has to be done
(When you hit the ground and time slows down, it'll never run slow enough)
I am a hero, dying alone and scared and unsung
(For you to twist your legs and spin around to back where you belong)
I am a hero, but Connie will live and maybe one day love again
(When you face the void and time slows down, it'll never run slow enough)
I am a hero, this is important
(For you to realize it's all around, it was always where you belonged)
I am a hero, this is important
(This is always where you belonged)
I am a hero, this is important
(This is always where you belonged)
I am a hero, this is important
(This is always where you belonged)

Return of Malibu

I will fight you, you will not conquer Earth this time
I trained with Miller, you will be punished for your crimes
And your life of quiet dignity forfeit
Will be man's once more should you cross this line bring it

Is that all then? That's the strongest one that you've got?
See him vanquished like the rest of your sorry lot
And your life of quiet dignity forfeit
Will be man's once more should you cross this line bring it

You say you trained with Miller? Hah! We kicked that fool out long ago
He counselled peace in a time of war, he can't have trained much of a foe
And the live of quiet dignity we've earned
Is ours to have once this lone fool is burned

So my friends, your ways remain unchanged
I'd hoped you'd learned in all our years estranged
That the life of quiet dignity we crave
Can ne'er be ours if any man's enslaved

So we fight

And your life of quiet dignity forfeit (That the life of quiet dignity we crave)
Will be man's once more should you cross this line bring it (Can ne'er be ours if any man's enslaved)
And your life of quiet dignity forfeit (That the life of quiet dignity we crave)
Will be man's once more should you cross this line bring it (Can ne'er be ours if any man's enslaved)

Flight of Malibu 5: Oddessy

Hide the bodies
Him too
No witness
It's good... to see you

O captain, my captain
O captain, my captain
O captain, my captain
O captain, my captain

Woo-ooh, woo-ooh, woo-ooh
(Having snuck past the federation agents and successfully smuggled a time machine to pre-space colony Earth, Ogocotu and the Kasahirsizi greet their past and future counterparts, and prepare to travel to sixty-thousand BC to begin the process anew.)

O captain, my captain
O captain, my captain
