Yes, I *have* gone insane

"Waiting For Straczynski's Eep"
by David Hines
a filk of "Waiting For The Miracle," by Leonard Cohen
Baby, I've been reading
the newsgroup night and day.
My killfile grew quite large;
it threw a lot of posts away.
I didn't answer email
(and I know you sent me some),
but I was waiting
for Straczynski's eep, for Straczynski's eep to come.
I know that you're a Trekker,
but, you see, I'm not that kind.
I know how that must hurt you,
but, honey, to my mind
the franchise has been lagging.
Stick a fork in it; it's done!
So now I'm just here waiting
for Straczynski's eep, for Straczynski's eep to come.
Ah, I feel so damned impatient
I wish he'd tell us soon.
I'm feeling oh so anxious;
just one eep would be a boon.
I got Chris Franke's soundtrack,
but it sounds like bubble gum
when you're waiting
for Straczynski's eep, for Straczynski's eep to come.
Waiting for Straczynski's eep -
it's all I seem to do.
Jeff Jarvis doesn't like B5,
but then, he likes "Earth 2..."
What is there to do
when the reruns keep a'-comin'?
What can one fan do
once the fan mail's sent and done?
Nothing you can do;
you'll just have to go on waiting -
waiting for Straczynski's eep to come.
I dreamed about Straczynski;
it was just the other night.
He showed me a new episode
called "Sleeping in the Light."
It tied the arc together;
I woke up feeling numb -
and I was waiting
for Straczynski's eep, for Straczynski's eep to come...
I know, let's watch first season;
I've not seen it in a while.
Back then G'kar was bad,
and Londo made us smile.
The parallels are vicious,
and the metaphors are wild,
and we're still waiting
for Straczynski's eep, for Straczynski's eep to come.

When they ask you of my loyalty
(they just might send ben Zeyn)
if they ask you if I'm faithful
and they want to scan your brain,
if you simply can't resist them
there's no need to play it dumb:
I'm proud to say I'm up here waiting
for Straczynski's eep, for Straczynski's eep to come.

I recommend slamming an unabridged dictionary into your forehead, rather
than the bi-hourly mallet-whack. The dictionary is better for that seismic
resonance that a mallet simply can't produce.
