Into the Space Age

Avoiding murder and its pitfalls
Into the space age on a comedown
Been evolving into some other creature
Inside the birdcage — not got much flying done
And I’m sinking dark and joyous
In devastating loneliness
In the precision of existence
Well a man needs guidance
Keep me safe in your arms
Keep me free from tyranny
Descending somewhere into the space age
Where no man has gone before
Disappointed in the outcome
Well, whatever was I expecting?
And I’m sinking into deepest heaven
In all consuming isolation
In the decision of existence
Well should a man choose silence?
Keep me safe in your arms
Keep me free from tyranny
Descending somewhere into the space age
Where no man has gone before
