Lyrics The Future Soon

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 couple 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

'Cos it's gonna be the future soon

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

'Cos it's gonna be the future soon

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 eyes me suspiciously

Hearing the whir of the servos inside

She will 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

When my heart is breaking

I can close my eyes it's already here
