Bar In The Belt

Drinking in a bar in the belt called Kuiper
Last stop before the solar system's far away

Told my mother that I'll dearly miss her
Transmission takes a few days to relay

Received her reply in a bar called Kuiper
Been downing fine whiskey for many days

Never told the bartender that I loved her
Might as well before I go away

Priming with my pals in a bar called Kuiper
The most daring of humankind in many ways

Abandoning safety to ensure our future
We might never return, but that's okay

Lingering in a bar in the belt called Kuiper
Too scared to leave, too weary to stay

But I should have left much sooner
Countless stars and worlds I must survey

Wavering in a bar in the belt called Kuiper
Drink my hesitation and my fear away

Slam another empty glass on the counter
Something draws me. Something draws me away

Drinking in a bar in the belt called Kuiper
Last peg before the solar systems far away

I board my vessel in a drunken stupor
Eventually, the universe calls me away
