[Verse 1]
Astronauts of the future
Listen, look, touch my words
Written while I, like you, was alive
Watching you through unborn eyes
These are days of chaos
This is love in the age of chaos
These are the explosive years
Chaos and order intersecting
Jagged light o'er a Turner ocean
And there's a gentle, quantum hush

[Chorus]
This is the millennium
This is the age of science fiction
This is the millennium
This is the dawning of valor
This is the blade of love
These are the doors into the future
This is the millennium
This is the future
This is the sound of the future

[Verse 2]
This is the moment we come together
And this is the year for falling in love
With a trembling, shuddering, breathless ecstasy
Love in zero gravity
Quantum sex, the magic of secrets
A bridge of light for minutes, hours, whole centuries
I am on my knees
I'm on my knees inhaling your body
And there's the hush of spacefuck
[Chorus]
This is the millennium
This the the year that sex returns
This is the millennium
This is the year of the poet
This is a time of dreams unbidden
These are the frontiers of light
This is fucking in space
This is love in space
This is to be on fire

[Post-Chorus]
In another universe
We would be lovers
In yet another universe (One voice)
We would be warriors (One love) too

[Verse 3]
Raise up all your pagan voices
Raise up all your electric guitars
Our tribe is at the frontiers of light
Unknown music, ancient rhythm
Legend evolves, savage dancing
This is the age that light returns
This is the country that it happens in
Now is the point of infinite mass, infinite destiny
The point at which physics breaks down
[Chorus]
This is the year the machine fucks up!
This is the year the machine fucks up!
This is the year the machine fucks up!

[Post-Chorus]
So behold the earth
Behold the earth and the sky beyond
This is where we're going
And here is where we've been
An infinite flight to unquenchable splendor
Think, too, of children born of space
Conceived in light and fused in zero gravity
A new creature, descended of earth, born to the sky

[Bridge]
So be kind to the poet in the streets
Lost in the cracks of the highway
Be kind to the woman who weeps
For the children in the alleyway
Be kind to your love, to the one at your side
Who buries her tongue in your heart
Be kind to the children of light
The ornery hope of a changeling planet
Be kind to yourself, to this land
To this world, this common ground
And to the one who understands
[Chorus]
That this is the millennium
This is your basic America
Beyond the millennium
Now is the morning of valor
This is the blade of love
Now is the time that light takes over

[Post-Chorus]
A time beyond place of passion and joy and light and of imagination
A climax of breathless, quantum proportion
Short of breath, clear sight and of mind
We are dazed in passion for minutes and hours, whole centuries

[Chorus]
Beyond the millennium
We are the pillars of love
We are tomorrow
This is the future, ah

[Outro]
Outside the air
Outside of here
Outside the atmosphere
