The Future's Nothing New Lyrics - A Sucker's Dream - The Alternate Routes

Well she don't have her momma's hips yet 

So she stole her momma's lipstick 

And she knew that I was coming 

And I think that I know why 

She goes by Fiona 

She seeks bad luck in omens 

When she's free and when she's lonely 

She comes beatin' at my door, singing: 

I've seen the future and the future's nothing new 

Just another day to miss the things we used to do 

So just lay me down somewhere like you do 

I've seen the future and the future's nothing new 

Steer the bitch back, paint the crane 

Winter's coming back again 

Hide the bourbon, clean the stove 

Stack the wood in rows below 

Sunday's coming, heat the plates 

The farmer's daughter lays in wait 

Jeans cut off above her knees 

Lying there she waits for me 

She goes by Fiona 

She seeks bad luck in omens 

When she's free and when she's lonely 

She comes beating at my door, singing: 

I've seen the future and the future's nothing new 

Just another day to miss the things we used to do 

So just lay me down somewhere like you do 

I've seen the future and the future's nothing new 

Well everybody's pushing paper 

Learning how to lose a buck 

And all the crystal balls in Portland 

Gonna tell you how it's tough 

You need a little bit of loving 

Just trying to get the good rush 

But if you really saw it coming 

Would it matter all that much, saying 

I've seen the future and the future's nothing new 

Just another day to miss the things we used to do 

So just lay me down somewhere like you do 

I've seen the future and the future's nothing new 

Well she don't have her momma's hips yet 

So she stole her momma's lipstick 

And she knew that I was coming 

And I think that I know why
