Future! Lyrics - Lemon Demon

Good morning, people of humbler times! 

My associates and I, we come to you from the future. 

That's right, we come from the future and we have many stories to tell. 

Stories of war, stories of science, oh yes, things that will change your lives forever. 

But all we're prepared to divulge today is this cryptic song: 

in the year 2004, we were opening the door 

to a pathway full of sunny looking times 

in the year 2005, stopwatch futures took a dive 

leaving us with nothing more than cents and dimes 

in the years we've yet to see 

we do not know, but we agree 

that there will be no rest 

we'll pass our test 

become obsessed and free 

in the year 2006, we discovered magic tricks 

which we used for waging war against the odds 

in the year 2007, they invited us to Heaven 

and we plundered the Casino of the Gods 

in the years we've yet to know 

there is no rain, there's only snow 

and there will be no sound 

no sky, no ground 

so turn around and go, and go 

in the year 2008, Don LaFontaine sealed our fate 

in the shady corner of Pandora's Box 

in the year 2009, we turned water into wine 

then to Diet Dr. Pepper on the rocks 

in the years we've yet to see 

we do not know, but we agree 

that there will be no rest 

we'll pass our test 

become obsessed and free 

in the year 2010, we were out the door again 

but our methods of respect were misconstrued 

in the year 2011, we were summoned back to Heaven 

for a lecture of unearthly magnitude 

in the year 2012, we were sadly forced to delve 

into a leather-bound compendium or two 

in the year 2013, we destroyed the new machine 

thus completing what we thought we'd never do
