i dont like beamed up myself,but i agree with what you are saying dave.
i dont like the song,simply because it doesnt click.i am able to set
aside my grasp on reality enuff so that the ridiculous phrasing doesnt
bother me.imo,when you start analyzing hw lyrics,you are asking for
trouble.its all sci-fi/fantasy,which, when ya get right down to it,
is all childish as hell- whether its dr. asimov or dr.suesse.
  ya love it or leave it.me...i refuse to grow up,and ya cant make me.:P
