Livin' In The Future

(album: Magic - 2007)

A letter come blowing in
On an ill wind
Something 'bout me and you
Never seeing one another again
And what I knew had come
Stars struck deaf and dumb
Like when we kissed
That taste of blood on your tongue

Don't worry, darling
No baby, don't you fret
We're living in the future
And none of this has happened yet
Don't worry, darling
No baby, don't you fret
We're living in the future
And none of this has happened yet

Woke up election day
Sky's gunpowder and shades of grey
Beneath the dirty sun
I whistle my time away
Then just about sun down
You come walking through town
Your boot heels clicking like
The barrel of a pistol spinning round

Don't worry, darling
No baby, don't you fret
We're living in the future
And none of this has happened yet
Don't worry, darling
No baby, don't you fret
We're living in the future
And none of this has happened yet

The earth it gave away
The sea rose towards the sun
I opened up my heart to you
It got all damaged and undone
My ship Liberty sailed away
On a bloody red horizon
The groundskeeper opened the gates
And let the wild dogs run

[Instrumental]

Alone I limp through town
A lost cowboy at sundown
Got my monkey on a leash
Got my ear tuned to the ground
My faith's been torn asunder
Tell me is that rolling thunder
Or just the sinking sound
Of something righteous going under

Don't worry, darling
No baby, don't you fret
We're living in the future
And none of this has happened yet
Don't worry, darling
No baby, don't you fret
We're living in the future
And none of this has happened yet
None of this has happened yet
None of this has happened yet
None of this has happened yet
None of this has happened yet

[Instrumental]

Na na na na, na na na na-na
Na na na na, na na na na-na
Na na na na, na na na na-na
Na na na na, na na na na-na
Na na na na, na na na na-na
Na na na na, na na na na-na
Na na na na, na na na na-na
