Gonna go to Gateway, yes indeed
Gonna take that ride
Gonna go to Gateway, yessirree
Gonna take that ride
Maybe I will hit the jackpot baby
Find my ticket among the stars
Maybe I’ll keep my head down baby
Wiping tables in the Blue Hell bar…
Gonna go to Gateway, o yeah
Gonna take that ride
Gonna go to Gateway, unh hunh
Gonna take that ride
Maybe I will meet some aliens
Find some fancy tech that’s o so rare
Maybe I will take a loser trip
Spend my last minutes fighting for air
Gonna go to Gateway, understand
Gonna take that ride
Gonna go to Gateway, that’s the plan
Gonna take that ride
Can’t call this plan courage
when it’s the only option that I’ve got
I’ll do cause I have to, the day is coming fast
I’ll find out what I get for what I bought.
That was a good series. Have liked Fred Poul forever. Your filk captures the flavor of the central character…
Just redid the lyrics… putting together my filkebuche for GAFilk.
