| Last week I left a note on Laura’s desk
|
| It said I love you, signed, anonymous friend
|
| Turns out she’s smarter than I thought she was
|
| She knows I wrote it, now the whole class does too
|
| And I’m all alone during Couples Skate
|
| When she skates by with some guy on her arm
|
| But I know that I’ll forget the look of pity in her face
|
| When I’m living in my solar dome on a platform in space
|
| Cause it’s gonna be the future soon
|
| And I won’t always be this way
|
| When the things that make me weak and strange
|
| Get engineered away
|
| It’s gonna be the future soon
|
| I’ve never seen it quite so clear
|
| And when my heart is breaking
|
| I can close my eyes and it’s already here
|
| I’ll probably be some kind of scientist
|
| Building inventions in my space lab in space
|
| I’ll end world hunger, I’ll make dolphins speak
|
| Work through the daytime, spend my nights and weekends
|
| Perfecting my warrior robot race
|
| Building them one laser gun at a time
|
| I will do my best to teach them
|
| About life and what it’s worth
|
| I just hope that I can keep them from destroying the Earth
|
| Cause it’s gonna be the future soon
|
| And I won’t always be this way
|
| When the things that make me weak and strange
|
| Get engineered away
|
| It’s gonna be the future soon
|
| I’ve never seen it quite so clear
|
| And when my heart is breaking I can close my eyes and it’s already
|
| Here on Earth they’ll wonder
|
| As I piece by piece replace myself
|
| And the steel and circuits will make me whole
|
| But I’ll still feel so alone
|
| Until Laura calls me home
|
| I’ll see her standing by the monorail
|
| She’ll look the same except for bionic eyes
|
| She lost the real ones in the robot wars
|
| I’ll say I’m sorry, she’ll say «It's not your fault-
|
| Or is it?»
|
| And she’ll eye me suspiciously
|
| Hearing the whir of the servos inside
|
| And she’ll scream and try to run
|
| But there’s nowhere she can hide
|
| When a crazy cyborg wants to make you his robot bride
|
| Well it’s gonna be the future soon
|
| And I won’t always be this way
|
| When the things that make me weak and strange
|
| Get engineered away
|
| It’s gonna be the future soon
|
| I’ve never seen it quite so clear
|
| And when my heart is breaking
|
| I can close my eyes and it’s already here |
