Lyrics

We left the earth in 1983
 Fingers groping for the galaxies
 Reddened eyes stared up into the void
 A thousand stars to be exploited
 Somebody help me, I'm falling
 Somebody help me, I'm falling down
 Into sky, into earth
 Into sky, into earth
 It is so dark around, no life, no hope, no sound
 No chance of seeing home again
 The universe is on fire, exploding without flame
 We are the lost ones; we are the pioneers; we are the lost ones
 We are the ones they are going to build a statue for
 Ten centuries ago or were going to fifteen forward
 One last brief whisper in our loved ones' ears
 To reassure them and to pierce the fear
 Standing at controls then still unknown
 We told the world we were about to go
 Somebody help me I'm missing
 Somebody help me I'm missing now
 Touch with my mind, I have no frame
 Touch with my mind, I have no frame
 Well now where is the time? And who the hell am I?
 Here floating in an aimless way
 No one knows where we are, though they can't feel us precisely
 There is no fear here
 How could such a thing exist
 In this place where living and knowing
 And being have never been heard of?
 Have never been heard of
 Doomed to vanish in the flickering light
 Disappearing to a darker night
 Doomed to wander in a living death
 Living anti-matter, anti-breath
 Somebody help me, I'm losing
 Somebody help me, I'm losing now
 People around, no one to touch
 People around, no one to touch
 I am now quite alone
 Part of a vacant time-zone
 Here floating in the void
 Only dimly aware of existence
 A dimly existing awareness
 I am the lost one, I am the one you fear, I am the lost one
 I am the one who crossed through space
 Or stayed where I was
 Or didn't exist in the first place
