lyrics

Lyrics: 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
