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 alone during couple 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 |
|
She will 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 |
