"Light Years Will Burn" (originally known as "Tron Song")[1] is the twelfth and final track from Spending Time on the Borderline.
Appearances
Overview
This song seamlessly transitions from the last track "Wake Up". The line, "Love and escape do not compute" was directly lifted from the theatrical trailer for the movie Tron.[2] The distorted message at the end of the song is a reading of the poem "When I Heard the Learn’d Astronomer" by Walt Whitman.

Lyrics
Light years will burn 'fore I return
I left it all behind with no concern
For things back then can't be again
Forever trapped in time that never bends
She waits for signals I might send
But they don't come so she pretends
I ran away but I'll be back yesterday
No turning back
Once you're lost you never will be found
No gravity
Never get my feet back on the ground
Love and escape do not compute
I see the photograph before you shoot
I'm standing still but still I'm spinning
This journey ends at the beginning
It seals my fate in the great figure eight
No turning back
Once you're lost you never will be found
No gravity
Never get my feet back on the ground
No turning back
Once you're lost you never will be found
No gravity
Never get these feet back on good ground
No turning back
Once you're lost you never will be found
No gravity
Never get my feet back on the ground
Whoa, Woah, Woah
Whoa, Woah, Woah
