The Baseline Song




Voyage, little baseline
Far beyond the empires,
Looking for a world to
Set up your own polity.

Voyage on little baseline
counterspinwards of Orion,
Wonder if you'll ever
Find yourself a home.

Tell me__ Little baseline
Tell me__ What your ship scans?
It scans a diamondoid megastructure
without a single sign of man,
That goes winding on for ever
Where once great planets were,
Oh I hope that I can find
One truely friendly power

Voyage little baseline
Far beyond the empires,
Looking for a world to
Set up your own polity.

I seek a garden world EuGaian subtype
Of gentle winds and summer rain,
Where the sentients are not memed
And they've put an end to corporate gain,
And I will netcast a virch of freedom
In the comfort of my geodesic mod-B,
Is there such a place in the galaxy
For a tiny biont like me?

Voyage little baseline
Far beyond the empires,
Looking for a world to
Set up your own polity.

Yes and voyage on little baseline
counterspinwards of Orion,
Wonder if you'll ever
Find yourself a home.
