Amazons of Planet Zena

#2: Spaceship

Dr. Melvin Headschmeltz, Ph. D.: 
Wha - where am I?
What day is it? Or rather, what century?
Oh yes, I remember now
I've been asleep for a thousand years

My God, I've been asleep for a thousand years
My God, I've been asleep for nearly a thousand years
The end of our epic voyage is near

The Earth is just a point among a billion lights
With every passing parsec it's fading out of sight
I doubt if anyone there remembers who we are
Yet no one else in hist'ry has ever come this far
As far as I know.

My God, I've been asleep for a thousand years
I guess I'd best start waking up my partner here

Captain Max, adventurer, a military type
He considers science to be useless nerdy hype
The government insisted he ruin all my fun
At least if we meet "aliens" he'll be there with his gun
Just to protect me

Dr: Wake up, sleepy head. 

Captain Max Armstrong: Wha- where am I?

Dr: You mean when.

Max: What?

Dr: Wake up, you've been asleep for a thousand years

Max: My god, I've been asleep for nearly a thousand years

Dr: You look just the same but for the ten centuries' beard

Max: The planetoid is growing in the viewer screen

Dr: It's the only other habitable world that anyone has seen
    Atmosphere is breathable!

Max: Extending landing gear! 
     We'd better get our weapons on in case we meet a threat

Dr: Oh please, how much more paranoid could you even get?

Max: Now let's go out there!
