Space is long and dark and empty
Quite a way 'tween friend and friend
And you never know nobody
When your journey's at an end
So the place you're gonna find me
'Tween the times I have to roam's-
-in the bar around the corner
Where they make you feel at home

Belly up to the bar friend
Have another round
It's long cold and lonely
'Tween the times we hit the ground
One day I'm gonna settle down
Never more to roam
But for now the bar's a spacer's home
So far away from home

Spaceport bars is common places
Here you'll find the common men
Some as rough as three-day whiskers
Some as quiet as hidden sin
Some as deadly as an adder
Some as dumber than a stone
And when they're not chasing stardust
They make spaceport bars their home

Out on Mars the Winking Lizard
Lies just left beyond the gate
Lady Stella does the pouring
and you never have to wait
For the rum that burns your gizzard
And incinerates your brain
And you hear the tales of Mars
Before the city slickers came

You know Atlas ain't got nothing
But the Jammer's worth the trip
Though you better not cross Charlie
Or you'll get a busted lip
But the folks there like their singing
And their joking
And their brew
And you'll think you've gone to glory
'Fore the evening's halfway through

You've a friend at Finky's waiting
When you drop on Heaven's Rim
Where they pour free Irish Whiskey
And they let you tell them when
That's where Angel watches over you
And when you've had enough
There's a space back in the corner
Where they'll let you sleep it off

There's the Lone Star on New Texas
Where the chili's piping hot
And the Unicorn on Eros
Where the brandy hits the spot
And there's Duck's on Altos seven
And there's Donna's on New Rome
And there's not one man among us
Who's ashamed to call them home

But for now the bar's a spacer's home
So far away from home...

Bhang Bhang Duc, Wickedly evil people, and Corbeil
