Lyrics:

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

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

This is the breath, this is the kiss
This is the breath, this is the kiss
This is the breath, this is the kiss

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

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

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)

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...
