You thought of what to say, oh didn't you? Picked through all of my words, you little sleuth. You made all of your predictions about how you and I would lay in the sun. Well you can't tell the future, the future, No matter how hard you try, And one day you will lay down and you'll die. You can't tell the future, the future, No matter how hard you try, And one day you will lay down and you'll die. But don't cry. You'll die. Don't you cry that you'll die. Oh oh oh babe don't you cry don't you cry. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh oh oh oh oh.

I still can't think of the words to start this song. I thought I was in a circle of people who could do no wrong. I am supposed to be the fuck-up, the one you can let go. But when you forget how to breathe oh yeah I'll let you know. I'll let you know. Oh I'll let you know. I'll let you know. I'll let you know. 'Cause I'm not scared there won't be a "you and a me." I'm just scared there won't be a "you" for me to see. I knew a friend she called a friend he was the junkie in our town. Had blonde hair sleek and shining he talked so very loud. I knew he was a problem that I just couldn't fix. So I laid in my friend's bed clutching her imaginary crucifix. I just held on. Oh I just held on. 'Cause I'm not scared there won't be a "you and a me." I'm just scared there won't be a "you" for me to see. 'Cause I'm not scared there won't be a "you and a me." I'm just scared there won't be a "you" for me to see. There won't be a you for me to see. There won't be a you for me to see. There won't be a you for me to see.

The future is a pistol I swallowed for dinner last night. The future is a lunch I couldn't hold down today. The future is another aching meal. The future is pain that I can't feel. But if you want to go there you can be my guest, but I'm just fine staying in the wild wild past. The future is a song I already wrote. The future is a song I know how to sing. The future is playing in your backyard. The future is playing at your corner store And if you want to go there you can be my guest, but I'm just fine staying the wild wild past. The wild wild past. The wild wild past.
