Private Conversation

"Private Conversation" was a song performed by Marie Batel and Christopher Pike when USS Enterprise hit a subspace fold in 2259. They were discussing their relationship problems at the time. (SNW: "Subspace Rhapsody").

Lyrics

Batel: Captain, can we have a private conversation in a more discreet location about our canceled vacation?

Apologies, I appear to be rhyming
And singing?

Pike: Marie, I'm gonna call you back.

Oh no, no you don't
I'm not done yet
Chris, you always do this
You always run away
Just when…

Oh sure, I see
Lay all the blame on me
When you're the one whose idea of fun is…
What am I saying to you?
In front of my crew?

This is a private conversation
A private conversation
About our frustration
About our frustration

This is a private conversation
A private conversation
About our frustration
A private conversation

We must contain it
Wе must constrain it

I don't want to hurt you, Marie
You mean more and more to me
But when you and I
Don't see eye to eye
A switch inside me flips
And I'm compelled to hide…
