The Future

Let me tell you about the future
Don't get impatient, you'll be in it soon enough
In fact, you can almost see it, if you stand with your eyes just so
Things are not that much different here, don't try to imagine them, though

You don't know the half of it yet
You don't know the half of it yet

While you were back in the States
This country that led me away
Has not been making a very good case
With a dateline held over our heads
As both of us wait

And late afternoon is your yesterday night
I have one watch that's sеt for tomorrow's flight
While the other is sеt for when I arrive
And all that my absence has left
Will be returned tenfold when I get back

Oh, the future's bigger than anyone guessed
It is almost too large to describe, but if pressed
I will say that the grandest notions we had of it still fall flat...
But I would like to know what you think of that

Let me tell you about the future...
