The Future Lyrics - The Stars Are Indifferent To Astronomy - Nada Surf

The future has long lines 

The future looks like a screen 

It's all you'll ever see 

All lit up like a stadium and 

Who will be the first? 

The future's made of dust 

And we are all just rust in the machine 

About to make some more mistakes 

Get deathly ill three, four times 

I'll find money on the street, no unexpected luck 

I will spend some time crying 

I'll be adept so much I'll be transformed 

I'll get the baby in the king cake 

I'll climb a small mountain, get three more bikes stolen 

Take four more of kitchen series 

Which is imitations and hooks 

Bits that you remember nothing 

Ask it's another look 

The future's empty in it's way 

The future has long lines 

The future looks like a screen 

And I cannot believe the future's happening to me 

Arrows pointed, educated, words to let you know 

The border guards have graduated 

They're taking up their post 

I lift the receiver, find you there 

I'll win and lose some bets 

The magic hour, make me feel at home 

In a place I don't know yet 

I'll spook the horse, keep the lights on 

Leave mythologies alone 

I'll try to say all the right things 

But get hung up on the tone
