40,000 miles an hour, and slowly, inch by inch
Inexorably speeding on our course for outer space
We monitor the solar winds grown ragged now and faint
And gravity, that fading, futile force, all but escaped
Never has a person come this far
No turning back, the booster’s long since gone
And by the time you hear this, across the wastes of time
At the solar system’s last extent, we’ll be entering the void
Saturn’s rings and Neptune’s moons, those once majestic friends
Revеal themselves as distant spеcks, upon the camera lens
That pale blue dot, I think, must be the earth
In endless night, the planet of my birth
And by the time you hear this, across the wastes of time
Sitting at your console, or sipping at your wine
Yes, any day the readings say we will have passed beyond
The solar system’s last extent, we’re entering the void
Right hand playing
What became of the sun’s heat in August
The smell of urine on a Sunday morning
And you, you, my love, sunburned and annoyed
We’re at the brink, transmission sent, we’re entering the void
