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?

Keep me safe in your arms Keep me free from tyranny Descending somewhere into the space age Where no man has gone before
