[Chorus]
But nobody asks the transporter chief
how his morning's been
Nobody asks the transporter chief
what he's done or where he's been
I beam them down I beam them up
I keep the signal clean
And nobody asks the transporter chief
if he's happy in between

[Verse 2]
I fought the Cardassians at Setlik
I have seen the worst of war
But the counsellor walks past me
like I'm furniture and nothing more
I married Keiko on a Tuesday
it was Data's episode
Even on my wedding day
I was someone else's B road

[Fiddle Solo]

[Verse 3]
The captain has his ready room
the doctor has sickbay
The android has his cat and his
existential things to say
Commander Ryker has his chair
and his legendary grin
I have a pad and a yellow light
and a room that no one's in

[Bridge]
I play the cello in my quarters
I go kayaking on my own
On a holodeck that nobody books
because nobody knows it's my home
I am the only enlisted man
on a ship of PhDs
And every time the comm badge chirps
they need me on my knees

[Chorus]
But nobody asks the transporter chief
how his morning's been
Nobody asks the transporter chief
what he's done or where he's been
I beam them down I beam them up
I keep the pattern true
And nobody asks the transporter chief
if he'd like to beam down too

[Pedal Steel Solo]

[Final Verse]
My name is Miles Edward O'Brien
I just thought you'd like to know
I've been standing at this transporter
for seven years of show
And if you ever need me
you'll know exactly where I'll be
Standing in a golden light
waiting patiently

[Outro]
Energising
Always energising

[End]

[Verse 1] I stand behind my console and I wait for them to call Energising is my line and I've never missed at all They step onto the pad with their phasers and their plans And I send them to the surface with my steady careful hands [Chorus] But nobody asks the transporter chief how his morning's been Nobody asks the transporter chief what he's done or where he's been I beam them down I beam them up I keep the signal clean And nobody asks the transporter chief if he's happy in between [Verse 2] I fought the Cardassians at Setlik I have seen the worst of war But the counsellor walks past me like I'm furniture and nothing more I married Keiko on a Tuesday it was Data's episode Even on my wedding day I was someone else's B road [Chorus] But nobody asks the transporter chief how his morning's been Nobody asks the transporter chief what he's done or where he's been I beam them down I beam them up I keep the signal clean And nobody asks the transporter chief if he's happy in between [Fiddle Solo] [Verse 3] The captain has his ready room the doctor has sickbay The android has his cat and his existential things to say Commander Ryker has his chair and his legendary grin I have a pad and a yellow light and a room that no one's in [Bridge] I play the cello in my quarters I go kayaking on my own On a holodeck that nobody books because nobody knows it's my home I am the only enlisted man on a ship of PhDs And every time the comm badge chirps they need me on my knees [Chorus] But nobody asks the transporter chief how his morning's been Nobody asks the transporter chief what he's done or where he's been I beam them down I beam them up I keep the pattern true And nobody asks the transporter chief if he'd like to beam down too [Pedal Steel Solo] [Final Verse] My name is Miles Edward O'Brien I just thought you'd like to know I've been standing at this transporter for seven years of show And if you ever need me you'll know exactly where I'll be Standing in a golden light waiting patiently [Outro] Energising Always energising [End]
