13) The Future Soon- Jonathan Coulton 9-12-07



Uploaded by: Gle3nn
Video Description:
Recorded live at the Paul Gleason Theater 9-12-07
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 alone during couple skate When she skates by with some guy on her arm But I know that I'll forget the l
ook 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 hea
rt 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 on
e 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 t
he 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 She will scream and try to run But there's nowhe
re 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 break
ing I can close my eyes and it's already here
