A little something I wrote back in the early 2000s - I re-wrote the lyrics to
"Once in a Lifetime" by Talking Heads. My lyrics are "Empire Strikes
Back"-centric, because 'days go by' can be mangled to sound
like Dagobah.
****************************
And you may find yourself living on a Secret Rebel Base
And you may find yourself on an ice planet called Hoth
And you may find yourself behind the controls of a large X-Wing Fighter
And you may find yourself fighting a beautiful AT-AT, with a beautiful princess
And you may ask yourself – Well, how did I get here?
Training at Dagobah / The swamp water's got me down
Training at Dagobah / Force is flowing all around
Jedi will rule again / After the Empire's gone
Chance of a lifetime / Force is flowing all around.
And you may ask yourself
How do I work the Force?
And you may ask yourself
Where is that large X-Wing Fighter?
And you may tell yourself
This is not my beautiful lightsaber!
And you may tell yourself
This is not my beautiful R2 unit!
Training at Dagobah / The swamp water's got me down
Training at Dagobah / Force is flowing all around
Jedi will rule again / After the Empire's gone
Chance of a lifetime / Force is flowing all around.
Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...
Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...
Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...
Patience dissolving... and R2 is rusting
There is a ship at the bottom of the swamp
Use the Force, Do not try, lift the ship from the bottom
Remove the ship from the bottom of the swamp!
Training at Dagobah / The swamp water's got me down
Training at Dagobah / Force is flowing all around
Jedi will rule again / Banish thoughts of Vader
Lift those rocks and stones / The Force is all around.
Training at Dagobah / The swamp water's got me down
Training at Dagobah / Force is flowing all around
Jedi will rule again / After the Empire's gone
Chance of a lifetime / Force is flowing all around.
And you may ask yourself
Where is that beautiful princess?
And you may ask yourself
Where does the Dark Side lead?
And you may ask yourself
Is Yoda right? Is there another?
And you may say to yourself
MY GOD! Is Vader my FATHER?
Training at Dagobah / The swamp water's got me down
Training at Dagobah / Force is flowing all around
Jedi will rule again / Banish thoughts of Vader
Lift those rocks and stones / The Force is all around.
Training at Dagobah / The swamp water's got me down
Training at Dagobah / Force is flowing all around
Jedi will rule again / After the Empire's gone
Chance of a lifetime / Force is flowing all around.
Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...
Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...
Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...
