The Future Soon |
| Last week I left a note on Laura’s desk |
| It said I love you, signed, anonymous friend |
| Turns out she’s smarter than I thought she was |
| She knows I wrote it, now the whole class does too |
| And I’m all alone during Couples Skate |
| When she skates by with some guy on her arm |
| But I know that I’ll forget the look of pity in her face |
| When I’m living in my solar dome on a platform in space |
| Cause it’s gonna be the future soon |
| And I won’t always be this way |
| When the things that make me weak and strange |
| Get engineered away |
| It’s gonna be the future soon |
| I’ve never seen it quite so clear |
| And when my heart is breaking |
| I can close my eyes and it’s already here |
| I’ll probably be some kind of scientist |
| Building inventions in my space lab in space |
| I’ll end world hunger, I’ll make dolphins speak |
| Work through the daytime, spend my nights and weekends |
| Perfecting my warrior robot race |
| Building them one laser gun at a time |
| I will do my best to teach them |
| About life and what it’s worth |
| I just hope that I can keep them from destroying the Earth |
| Cause it’s gonna be the future soon |
| And I won’t always be this way |
| When the things that make me weak and strange |
| Get engineered away |
| It’s gonna be the future soon |
| I’ve never seen it quite so clear |
| And when my heart is breaking I can close my eyes and it’s already |
| Here on Earth they’ll wonder |
| As I piece by piece replace myself |
| And the steel and circuits will make me whole |
| But I’ll still feel so alone |
| Until Laura calls me home |
| I’ll see her standing by the monorail |
| She’ll look the same except for bionic eyes |
| She lost the real ones in the robot wars |
| I’ll say I’m sorry, she’ll say «It's not your fault- |
| Or is it?» |
| And she’ll eye me suspiciously |
| Hearing the whir of the servos inside |
| And she’ll scream and try to run |
| But there’s nowhere she can hide |
| When a crazy cyborg wants to make you his robot bride |
| Well it’s gonna be the future soon |
| And I won’t always be this way |
| When the things that make me weak and strange |
| Get engineered away |
| It’s gonna be the future soon |
| I’ve never seen it quite so clear |
| And when my heart is breaking |
| I can close my eyes and it’s already here |
