Livin' In the Future

A letter come blowin' in on an ill wind

Somethin' 'bout me and you never seein' one another again

Yeah, well I knew it'd come, still I was struck deaf and dumb

Like when we kissed, that taste of blood on your tongue

Don't worry darlin', now baby don't you fret

We're livin' in the future and none of this has happened yet

Don't worry darlin', now baby don't you fret

We're livin' in the future and none of this has happened yet

Woke up Election Day, skies gunpowder and shades of gray

Beneath a dirty sun, I whistle my time away

Then just about sundown, you come walkin' through town

Your boot heels clickin' like the barrel of a pistol spinnin' 'round

Don't worry darlin', now baby don't you fret

We're livin' in the future and none of this has happened yet

Don't worry darlin', now baby don't you fret

We're livin' in the future and none of this has happened yet

The earth it gave away, the sea rose towards the sun

I opened up my heart to you, it got all damaged and undone

My ship Liberty sailed away on a bloody red horizon

The groundskeeper opened the gates and let the wild dogs run

I'm rollin' through town, a lost cowboy at sundown

Got my monkey on a leash, got my ear tuned to the ground

My faith's been torn asunder, tell me is that rollin' thunder

Or just the sinkin' sound of somethin' righteous goin' under?

Don't worry darlin', now baby don't you fret

We're livin' in the future and none of this has happened yet

Don't worry darlin', now baby don't you fret

We're livin' in the future and none of this has happened yet

None of this has happened yet

None of this has happened yet

None of this has happened yet

None of this has happened yet
