The Future Of The Future
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.
The future of the future will still contain the past
Time goes slow and time goes fast
I can feel you looking back at me
To see how I'm done
What is it inside you that makes you want to be my god?
Well, it's so bright tonight
It's so bright tonight
It's so bright tonight
Do you see those cars, those lights?
The future of the future will still repeat today
Time goes fast and fades away
And you say: "think of the old days
We could have them back again"
Well I thought about the old days
They're go bad, like they did then
Well, it's so bright tonight
It's so bright tonight
It's so bright tonight
Do you see those cars, those lights?
The future of the future will still contain tonight
The passage of day the passage of light
I'm not going home again
Tomorrow will never come
I'm not going home again
Tomorrow will never come
Well it's so bright tonight
It's so bright tonight
Do you see those cars, those lights?
Do you see those roads, these skies?
What ya gonna do about me now? (x8)
It's so bright tonight
