| Off into outer space you go my friends
|
| We wish you bon voyage
|
| And when you get there we will welcome you again
|
| And still you’ll wonder at it all
|
| See all the wonders that you leave behind
|
| The wonders humble people own
|
| I know a boy from a tribe so primitive
|
| He can call me up without no telephone
|
| See all the wonders that you leave behind
|
| Enshrined in some great hourglass
|
| The noble tongues, the noble languages
|
| Entombed in some great english class
|
| Off into outer space you go my friends
|
| We wish you bon voyage
|
| And when you get there we will welcome you again
|
| And still you’ll wonder at it all
|
| An anthropologist he wrote a book
|
| He called it «myths of heaven»
|
| He’s disappeared, his wife is all distraught
|
| An angel came and got him
|
| His hair was light, his eyes were love, his words were true
|
| His eys were lapis lazuli
|
| He spoke in a language oh so primitive
|
| That he made sense to me
|
| Off into outer space you go my friends
|
| We wish you bon voyage
|
| And when you get there we will welcome you again
|
| And still you’ll wonder at it all |
