The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
In the distance lies the future,
In the distance lies the future,
In the distance lies the future,
In the distance lies the future.
Cracking all like it's a game,
But you never, never care,
Cracking all that's in the air,
So, my friend, beware.
In the distance lies the future,
In the distance lies the future,
In the distance lies the future,
In the distance lies the future,
Lies the future, lies the future,
In the distance lies the future.
All the sights in cyberation,
All your stars in figuration,
In the distance lies the future,
In the distance lies the future,
In the distance lies the future.
Mercy, mercy, mercy.
In the distance, in the distance lies the future.
You may try to get yourself there,
But try to get the other way here.
You may try to get yourself there,
But try to get the other way here.
In the distance lies the future.
Hold the cows, it's a sound from outer space.
In the distance lies the future.
Distance, distance, distance, distance,
Distance, distance, distance, distance,
Distance, distance, distance, distance,
Distance, distance, distance, distance,
Distance, distance, distance, distance,
Distance, distance, distance, distance,
In the distance,
Distance, distance, distance, distance,
Distance, distance, distance, distance,
Distance, distance, distance, distance,
Distance, distance, distance, distance,
In the distance lies the future.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
In the distance lies the future, lies the future.
