I drove the grid for twenty years
I know the way to calm your fears
The fuel is low the tanks are dry
We chase a green and golden sky
Check the glass and lock the door
We are heading for the shore
Shift the gear and feel the pull
Until the cargo hold is full
Ride the orbit ride the line
Cross the border cross the sign
Deep in space the colors spin
Let the cosmic ride begin
I've seen a moon of frozen glass
I've watched the heavy thunder pass
The Atlas map is worn and old
The stories that the traders told
Check the glass and lock the door
We are heading for the shore
Shift the gear and feel the pull
Until the cargo hold is full
Ride the orbit ride the line
Cross the border cross the sign
Deep in space the colors spin
Let the cosmic ride begin
A red sun burns a jagged hole
The vacuum takes a heavy toll
I steer through rings of silver ice
I never ask the ticket price
Steel and chrome and humming wire
Cold black void and solar fire
No more roads and no more street
Where the stars and planets meet
Ride the orbit ride the line
Cross the border cross the sign
Deep in space the colors spin
Let the cosmic ride begin
The portal opens wide and blue
I'm taking you to something new
Just a driver in a tin can
Following a lonely plan
Ride the orbit ride the line
Cross the border cross the sign
Deep in space the colors spin
Let the cosmic ride begin
End of line.
Keep the change.
