I remember the future, we have seen it before We did it better back in the '80s, for sure When we lived in a Spielberg dream The past will come to save us from our complicated lives A plastic mothership hanging in a bluescreen sky And in the warm glow of an 8-bit sun we'll start again Our bodies are cocoons, you know And someday soon our wings will grow We will become satellites And swim like fish through a sea called night Hold on here it comes: the future that we missed I hear the engines hummin', sounds like an X-Wing Drummer Come on bring it home, somebody hit the switch Feels like a long time comin', sounds like an X-Wing Drummer When the last cell phone blinks out, the silence that is left will shout A restless century will see: the future ain't what it used to be And in the warm glow of an 8-bit sun we'll start again Ships fill the skies an' all eyes on the horizon Eden is rising! Hold on, here it comes: the future that we missed Feels like a long time comin', sounds like an X-Wing Drummer Come on bring it home, somebody hit the switch I hear the engines hummin', sounds like an X-Wing Drummer

Part-time superstar Do you know what you really are? Just ash from a god's cigar Part-time superstar You're a pretty little meteor Burnin' up in the atmosphere Yeah, you know what you are You rise and fall like this Like some new Icarus Part-time superstar Do you know what you really are? Just the blood from a broken heart Part-time superstar They say you’re never gonna go far You can’t fight an unwinnable war You gotta own what you are, you're a part-time superstar You spread your wings like this And fall like Icarus Yeeeah, now you know what you are Part-time superstar Just the blood from a broken heart Just the ash from a god's cigar And I don't wanna be a part-time superstar no more Hey, you are the face of the new youth You take the place of the old truth Now the world knows who you are Another fifteen-minute star And you know what this is: The age of Icarus, Kid Icarus

There must be some way out of here Said the joker to the thief There's too much confusion I can't get no relief Businessmen they drink my wine Plowmen dig my earth None of them along the line Know what any of it is worth No reason to get excited The thief he kindly spoke There are many among us Who feel that life is but a joke But you and I, we've been through that And this is not our fate So let us not talk falsely now Because the hour is getting late All along the watchtower The princes kept the view While all the women came and went Barefoot servants too Outside in the distance A wildcat did growl Two riders were approaching And the wind began to howl
