Ode to Beagle Point - Distant Worlds Swansong

So a bunch of us on DWE were coming up with Hotel California lyrics the other night, and I decided they were so good I put them together, made them fit the rhythm of the song better and added a few verses that were missing.
I also thought it might be a nice touch to have a song written at the end of the journey, since we had one at the start [smile]

The Beagles - Hotel Kamzel
On a dark stretch of M stars
Starlight in my hair
Warm smell of the space tea
In the recycled air

Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
A high g world for the night

There she stood in the hatchway,
I heard collision bells
And I was thinking to myself,
"oh I'm caught in the gravity well..."

Then she lit up the thrusters and she showed me the way
There were voices in the cargo hold,
I thought I heard them say...

(chorus)

Welcome to the basecamp here on Beagle
Such a lovely place (such a lovely place)
For such a lonely space

Plenty of room at the instance down on Beagle
Any time of year (Any time of year)
You can find it here

(/chorus)

Her mind is Aisling-twisted, she got the Cutter parked there
She got a lot of pretty, pretty slaves, she calls friends
How they fly in the campground, sweet canyon jet
Some boost to remember, some boost to forget

So she called a commander
Please bring me Lave wine
He said; we haven't had that spirit here since thirty sixty nine

And still those nav beacons signal from far away
Wake you up in the middle of the night just to hear them say...

(chorus)

Welcome to the basecamp here on Beagle
Such a lovely place (such a lovely place)
For such a lonely space

Livin' it up with commanders down on Beagle
What a nice surprise (what a nice surprise)
Bring your friendship drives

(chorous)

SRVs on the mountain, Pearl Whiskey on ice
And We said; we are all just prisoners here, of our own device
And in Dr. Kaii's instance, they gathered for the treats
They tried to instance with their landed wings, but they just can't join the fleet

Last thing I remember
At the cabin door
Had to find a new route route back
To a waypoint passed before

Relax, said the Dr.
We are going with the fleet
You can jump out any time you like
But you can never leave!

I'm actually working on lyrics to go with "We Didn't Start the Fire" by Billy Joel. Quite like your lyrics and song choice, actually!.
