Lyrics

[Verse] This is the moment that we come alive I'm handin' out the breath and the kiss I'm electric with the snap and the crackle of creation I'm mixin' up the mud with the spit So rise up Brendan Behan and like a drunken Lazarus Let's traipse the high bronze of the evenin' sky Like a crack-crazed king Hey [Verse] Voyager 2 where are you now Lookin' back at home and weeping Cold and alone in the dark void Winding down and bleeping Dimmer, ever dimmer, ever dimmer, ever dimmer Sail on, sail on, sail on Feebly cheeping in the solar winds On past the howlin' storms Through electric orange skies And blinding methane rain I'll turn you up [Refrain] This is the breath, this is the kiss This is the breath, this is the kiss This is the breath, this is the kiss [Verse] Never bring me down to earth again Let me blaze a trail of glory across the sky Let me traipse across its golden high Let me marvel in wonder and unfettered gaze At the bigness and the implausibility of being Sail on [Verse] Yes stretch out your hand into infinity you human things Past blind moons and ice cream worlds You hurl a metal ball of dull intelligence And show us all your fragile grip As we too track with you Slower, but no less insistent Like the only fertile seed In the barren vault of bein' Sail on, sail on, sail on Hurtling towards the waiting wombs of empty worlds Waiting for the final primary come of life We turn you up [Refrain] This is the breath, this is the kiss This is the breath, this is the kiss I'm thinkin'… I'm thinkin' big things I'm thinkin' about mortality I'm thinkin' it's a cheap price that we pay for existence This is the moment that we come alive (This is the breath, this is the kiss) [Verse] No we're in Paris In 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 (this is the breath, this is the kiss) (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 jellyfish" "Maybe it's the Portuguese Men-O-Pause", she joked And she laughed her brittle head And we went back to bed And this is the moment that we come alive This is the breath And this is the kiss This is the breath, this is the kiss So sail on, Voyager 2 This is the breath, this is the kiss This is the breath, this is the kiss This is the breath, this is the kiss Mmm mmm mmm mmm mm hmm-hmm hmm.. Dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah... Dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah...
