I'm all wires and aluminum
Comet dust and nitrogen
I followed everyone's command
First 18 years were fine and grand
No space junk upon this ship
Flying high at 36
Without flash, without conceit
I've done all they asked of me
But every journey that begins should have an ending
Beside this daily stream of data I keep sending
Beyond the stars where time and space are bending
I miss home
Lift off August '78
No malfunctions to relate
30 billion miles I've come
All those trips around the sun
For my trials with ice and fire
They inked a deal that I'd retire
Air and Space wants me on view
On Independence Avenue
But the brass they disapproved of my ambitions
So after all these years of silence I still listen
Between fever dreams of static and transmissions
I miss home
Wave goodbye to what you know
Don't be sad to see it go
I passed the moon and earth today
Oh so close, so faraway
Thrusters useless, fuel used up
Contact lost, completely fucked
Unless they send someone at last
To try and catch me as I pass
While the final coordinates are pending
For the waves and flares and fields I will keep tending
Every journey that begins should have an ending
Every journey that begins should have an ending
Every journey that begins
I miss home
