lyrics

Her mother was on the phone, pacing the floor
she says “if you're not coming home what am I in this for?”
he said “baby this thing is big, it's bigger than you or me”
and that's when she decided somebody had to fly free

Above us the sky behind us the national trust
before the Soviets leave us all in the dust
gonna throw this ship in the air, gonna see how far she will fly
this ain't for kicks or money, honey
this is do-or-die

so baby cut me some slack I promise you I'll be back
from this job that I have to do
we're both so alone but I'm coming home to be right here with you
we got the presidential seal it's a pretty big deal
so let me see how I feel
once the voyager has left the system

her father was gone on a mission surprise, surprise
almanac in his pocket, gasoline in his eyes
nobody ever told her exactly why he had to go
she seems perfectly happy, maybe there's nothing to know

there is a radio stream that she hears in her dreams
usually when the moon is full
and her grandmother's ghost the whole heavenly host
they're all praying that she hears it too

she heard a brand new tune and she cleaned up her room
while the signal started getting clearer
and when her mama came in our girl was wearing a grin
and a dress that made her look fearsome

and by the light of the moon over the lake of the loon
there was a distant boom mama suddenly knew
that the voyager had left the system

the other night in a dream
I was a drop in a stream
speeding towards the waterfall
will I be reborn as a drop in a storm
or a fleck of rust on a rail
or will I merge with a star
if I zoom out far
a speck of dust in a comet's tail

or I could stalk you tonight cuz the weather's just right
and I'm feeling lucky and winsome
call your name in the street, get down on my knees
and pledge you all of my love, and then some
or I could steal this car, drive it into the bar
that I never sent high enough
or I could hijack a plane in some dead prophet's name
crash it just to prove life sucks
I'll send a message in lights from the highest of heights
in case you're wondering tonight
if the voyager has left the system
