I am a space pirate, you know my name Asteroid mining is a dangerous game Imperial navy can't keep up my pace Chasing a rock into Zhodani space You heard about me in the frontier wars Psionic menace carrying alien spores A living legend in the asteroid mines Outvoting tarrifs and imperial fines One-thousand credits is my humble price Whether it's nickel, iron, stone or ice Only the wayfaring patron would dare A merchant cruiser, a skyway corsair It's not a mineral that I seek here High passage, low passage Any way I'm outta here I was born in colonies On fringe worlds of the galaxy Meanwhile in Zhodani space Imperial flagships follow me
