Description: This is an Origin Song for the Mystery Science Creator 3000. An Awakening if you will. I hadn't given much thought to his beginnings when I started the project, but I loved the thematic idea of an astronaut hurtling untethered through space, rescued from being eaten alive by a sentient AI, and their souls being merged together as his only means of staying alive.

lyrics

[Astronaut]
Where am I now?
I think I’m floating through space, and
A tiny green man
Is digging in my face

I want to scream
But within my suit I’m bound
Colors explode in dream
As the void absorbs all sound

[Green Cannibalistic Space Smurf]
Hey pally, nothing personal
It’s a cold hard universe out here
We just gotta eat
Wait a minute. Oh God. You hear that? It’s coming! It’s the bot!

[Cape Canaveral]
Computers now have primary control

[MSC-3K]
It’s a mystery
Why you’re here
I can’t help you
Please don’t give in to fear

Hello I’m Friend Computer
Unit MSC-3K
They’re carving out your innards
I hope that that’s okay

[Astronaut]
Oh god please make it stop
I should be back on Earth

[MSC-3K]
They just do what they want
Like a cannibalistic smurf

[Astronaut]
I’m the Mystery
Science Creator
I can’t go home
Or get away from here

(MSC-3K)
I’m the Mystery
Science Creator
I’ll merge with you
And eliminate your fear

[Harmonizing]
We’re the Mystery
Science Creator
We’ve become one
I no longer know fear
(Fear)
(Fear)
(Fear)
