Been to the Future - 3

She

Lives by the virtue of daytime TV

Alone in a suburb

And he

Fills up a bottle and drinks from the sea

He’ll always be thirsty

And they

Shiny examples of human decay

Come here, let me show you

How I

Woke up this morning still mourning a dream

I’ve been to the future

I’ve been to the future

I hear

Somewhere the circus is said to be near

Another distraction

And I fear

Will you be next to me this time next year

Or will you be over?

But wait

Just as you leap from the nest for the wind

Well I never told you

When you

Woke up this morning you spoke of a dream

You’d been to the future

I’ve been to the future

Been to the future

Been to the future

Repeat after me

(She's all I have)

Is this what it means to be free?

Repeat after me

(She's all I have)

Tell me why

(She's all I have)

Please tell me why

She’s all I ever had

Today

All the illusions are fading away

I’ve drawn my conclusion

Been to the future

I’ve been to the future

Been to the future

Been to the future

Been to the future

We’ve been to the future

Been to the future

We’ve been to the future
