This is the moment that we come alive
   I'm handing out the breath and the kiss
   I'm electric with the snap and the crackle of creation
   I'm mixing up the mud with the spit
   So rise up Brendan Behan and like a drunken Lazarus
   Let's traipse the high bronze of the evening sky
   Like crack crazed kings.
  
   Voyager 2 where are you now
   Looking back at home and weeping
   Cold and alone in the dark void
   Winding down and bleeping
   Ever dimmer ever thinner
   Feebly cheeping in the solar winds
   I'll turn you up
   Sail on sail on sail on
   On past the howling storms
   Through electric orange skies
   And blinding methane rain
   Sail on
   I'll turn you up
  
   Never bring me down to earth again
   Let me blaze a trail of glory across the sky
   Let me traipse across it's golden high
   Let me marvel in wonder and unfettered gaze
   At the bigness and implausibility of being
  
   Yes stretch out your hands into infinity you human things
   Past blind moons and ice cream worlds
   You hurl your metal ball of dull intelligence
   And show us all our fragile grip
   As we too track with you
   Slower but no less insistent
   Like the only fertile seed
   In the barren vault of being
   Sail on
   Hurtling towards the waiting tomb of empty worlds
   Waiting for the final primary come of life
   I'll turn you up
  
   And I'm thinking big things
   I'm thinking about mortality
   I'm thinking it's a cheap price that we pay for existance
   This is the moment that we come alive
   This is the breath and this is the kiss
  
   No we're in Paris
   In the ball gowns
   In the high heels
   In the snow
   And we're spinning round Versailles in a Volkswagen Beetle
   That we'd hired for the day
   (At the cheap rate)
   The room without the shower was cold again
   "Are we already middle-aged", she said
   And I said "I feel nothing
   I feel like a jelly-fish",
   "Mabey it's the Portuguese Men-O-Pause", she joked
   And she laughed her brittle head
   And we went back to bed
   And I've been thinking about these things
   I've been thinking about Voyager 2
   And this is the moment that we come alive.
