Future Lies

[Verse 1]
Does nothin' ever happen in here?
In a vision comes my seventeenth year
With a wool hat coverin' your sweat wet ears
Near a sewer in your neck of the woods
How a sailor ever tasted so good
When the pigs ran by with the light shinin' bright
This is Heaven, this is [?]
It's how every borin' story begins
I was written into punchlines and took on the chin
My dare on the bar being used
In a dinner that my mother refused
And I could see us in the van with our bones so smooth

[Verse 2]
Whatever reason we had started so young
Educated by the burn of a thumb
I could tell you 'bout it now but it sounds so dumb
We had had it in the seventeenth year
Sound was broken into pieces of steel
Nothin' pretty about the sound of a train in gear
Remember everything's nothin' at all
Silent posters on a history wall
Lickin' fingers under covers in a bunk bed hall
You were pretty as a pile of brain
You were happy I remember you sayin'
"Do you envision how we smelt" as you walked away

[Chorus]
In the beeline stands an island
Arms akimbo hard to find
And in the ocean dives a deep bird
Where my long lost future lies
