Dirt bubbles roll by
sometimes in clusters
people inside each one

Sap runs up and down
the main stem of the universe
This must be Paradise

There’s a bomb in the church
and a fire in the yard
and a spark on the radio

All the buttons undone
the kids are having fun
with the money I’ve worked
so hard to save

Hello to the future
I’m sorry you’ve been waiting so long
I didn’t really see you
I thought you were a dream

I hope you stick around
It’s a pretty dull town
and there isn’t too much going on

I’ll take you to my friends
and hope you get along
but people can see only
what they can see

Hello to the future
I’m sorry you’ve been waiting so long
I didn’t really see you
I thought you were a dream

All the engines in your room
making pain for everyone
I was looking for the switch
when you said why not relax

There’s a bomb in the church
and a fire in the yard
and a spark on the radio

All the buttons undone
the kids are having fun
with the money I’ve worked
so hard to save

Hello to the future
I’m sorry you’ve been waiting so long
I didn’t really see you
I thought you were a dream
