(Sung to "It's A Five O'clock World")
Hey! Hey! (throughout verses)
Up every morning on this big starship
I've got to get this crew through a dangerous trip
Trying to avoid a hostile race
While we make our way through uncharted space
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
CHORUS: But it's a holodeck world when the shift is done
No one owns a piece of my time
And there's a place I can go to have some fun
Where our lives aren't on the line, yeah
Come away with me to my holodeck world
Monitor repairs, reassure the crew
Defend my decisions, just a few things I do
Got to get goin', gotta make my way
To get us all through another day
CHORUS: 'Cause it's a holodeck world when the shift is done
No one owns a piece of my time
And there are worlds out there with a billion suns
To ease my troubled mind, yeah
Come away with me to my holodeck world
In the holodeck world everything's okay
The scenery changes and the ship slips away
I know it's illusion, but it feels so fine
To live out a dream of mine
CHORUS: In the holodeck world when the shift is done
I can dance and laugh and smile
And then I can be ready to face my world
I know that it's all worthwhile, yeah
Come away with me to my holodeck world (repeat and fade)
