Pioneers Over C Van der Graaf Generator

[Verse 1]
We've left the Earth in 1983
Fingers groping for the galaxies
Reddened eyes stared up into the void
A thousand stars to be exploited
Somebody help me, I'm falling
Somebody help me, I'm falling down
Into sky, into earth
Into sky, into earth
It is so dark around
No life, no hope, no sound
No chance of seeing home again
The universe is on fire
Exploding without flame
We are the lost ones, we are the pioneers; we are the lost ones
We are the ones they are going to build a statue for
Ten centuries ago or were going to fifteen forward

[Verse 2]
One last brief whisper in our loved ones' ears
To reassure them and to pierce the fear
Standing at controls then still unknown
We told the world we were about to go
Somebody help me, I'm missing
Somebody help me, I'm missing now
Touch with my mind, I have no frame
Touch with my mind, I have no frame
Well now, where is the time?
And who the hell am I?
Here floating in an aimless way
No one knows where we are
Though they can't feel us precisely
