There's magic in our present tense
Not coincidence, but fate
Stopping by woods to make new friends
And buy some lemonade
The twist and turns we take in life
The epiphanies they bring
An impromptu gift from my dear wife
Your rocket ship key ring
[Chorus]
Let's break out of our orbits, free of gravity's effect
Let's leave our little planets, fix relationships we've wrecked
Un-learn all our habits, make sure we all connect
The human race has aimed toward space since man first walked erect
[Verse 2]
Voyager One, the NASA probe got to outer space today
With a platter made of solid gold for aliens to play
It makes its trip for all of us
A record of mankind's song
Ultimately superfluous
Because we don't get along
[Chorus]
Let's break out of our orbits, free of gravity's effect
Let's leave our little planets, fix relationships we've wrecked
Un-learn all our habits, make sure we all connect
The human race has aimed toward space since man first walked erect
[Bridge]
Man first walked erect
Man first walked
Man first walked erect
Man first walked
[Chorus]
Let's break out of our orbits, free of gravity's effect
Let's leave our little planets, fix relationships we've wrecked
Un-learn all our habits, make sure we all connect
The human race has aimed toward space since man first walked erect
[Outro]
There must be life in outer space
But I'm loved by closer things
A friendly face, a familiar place
Susan's rocket ship key ring
When an animal is in a trap
Of course it tries to run
But we've evolved beyond that crap
So throw away the gun, throw it away
Now if the cosmos speaks to you in a voice you can't ignore
Don't pass it off as deja vu like you've seen it all before
