[Chorus]
Up into outer space you go my friends
We wish you bon voyage
And when you get there we will welcome you
And still you'll wonder at it all

[Verse 1]
See all the wonders that you leave behind
The wonders humble people own
I know a girl from a tribe so primitive
She 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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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 gold, his wings were love, his words were true
His eyes were lapis lazuli
He spoke in a language oh so primitive
He made sense to me
[Chorus]
Off into outer space you go my friends
We wish you bon voyage
And when you get there we will welcome you
And still you'll wonder at it all

[Outro]
Ah-ah
Ah-ah
Ah-ah
Ah-ah
