Lyrics: The Future Is (Album Version)

The Future Is
(Space Punk Starlet)

Oh! Oh! Oh!
I wish I could solve the popular problems of my day,
So that you and I could waste away someplace nice.
Cause' there's a great big wonderful summer headed our way,
Filled with suntans, a beach romance, extinctions, hey.

But don't you hate all the people who just won't try,
If they left all the problems to you and I,
They'd be solved pretty quickly.

So all you tweens out there,
Give me a high five!
Because you're buying our record,
And you're making us rich,
Bitch!

I wish I coul solve the popular problems of my day,
So that you and I could waste away someplace nice.
Cause' there's a great big wonderful summer headed our way,
And those pesky polar bears and penguins won't get their way, woah.

Don't you hate all the people who just won't try (Don't you hate 'em?)
If they left all the problems to you and I,
They'd be solved pretty quickly.

Don't you hate all the people who just won't try?

Lyrics: The Future Is (EP Version)

The Future Is
(Solar Power Struggle)

I wish I could solve the popular problems of my day
So that you and I could waste away someplace nice.
Cause there's a great big wonderful summer headed our way.
Filled with suntans, beach romance, extinctions, hey!

But don't you hate all the people who just won't try?
If they left all the problems to you and I,
They'd be solved pretty quickly.
But, oh, fuck it!

I wish I could solve the popular problems of my day
So that you and I could waste away someplace nice.
Cause there's a great big wonderful summer headed our way.
And those pesky polar bears and penguins won't get their way, hey hey.

But don't you hate all the people who just won't try?
If they left all the problems to you and I,
They'd be solved pretty quickly.

Don't you hate all the people who just won't try?

Lyrics: Dream Collector

Dream Collector

I remember you were looking at
Those shards of glass in your grandma's attic
You were drunk but it doesn't matter.
No, it don't matter anymore.
Because you were always chasing other people's dreams.
Do you remember Anna from your seventeens?

Are the images projecting how you feel?
Don't you wish she were real!

Well you can think what you want.
You can say what you will.
You can do whatever,
When you don't know what to feel.
Because you were always chasing other people's dreams.
A conveyer-belt shadow to pass the time.

Are the images projecting how you feel?
Don't you wish she were real!

You were always on the tail of a ghost,
Chasing down your baby who you loved the most.
Because you were always chasing other people's dreams.
And now you're waiting on,
The Dream Collector.

Are the images projecting how you feel?
Don't you wish she were real!
Don't you wish she were real!

Lyrics: So Submerged I'll Go (The Squid Song)

So Submerged I'll Go (The Squid Song)

I was wrapped around your knees.
Do anything you please, but
Like the city of Rome
You had to see me fall
Now I mean nothing at all.
Now I mean nothing at all!

So submerged I went
So submerged I go
Down to the ocean floor
To find the beast below
Yeah you'll be sorry you know!

It had eight great tentacles,
And one great eye.
I could tell from the moment it fell
You would never be mine
And I felt fine!

So submerged I went
So submerged I go
Down to the ocean floor
To find the beast below
Yeah you'll be sorry you know!

So you may be wondering
What had a squid to do with her?
See, I left her for the newspapers.
Got my fame.
Got my revenge.
Do I still mean nothing to you?
Do I still mean nothing at all?

So submerged I went
So submerged I go
Down to the ocean floor
To find the beast below
Yeah you'll be sorry you know!

So so so so submerged I'll go for you!
So so so so submerged I'll go for you!
And you said that you would forgive me soon!
And you said that you would forgive me soon!
OH BABY NOTHING AT ALL!

Lyrics: Space Punk Starlet

Space Punk Starlet

Space punk starlet!

Rudely going through life, too much of a man,
with fists for his hands, he's got a girl and she's
got a plan to start a band. He didn't come to Earth to fight
so long as someone kindly might show her some chords,
but I've been dreadfully lonely and bored,
I've searched the stars, looked in bars, for the space punk starlet
of my hollywood dreams.

And I loved her.

But I can't fall asleep at night,
underneath the stars with a lover at large
in the city that received my surrender so long ago.
Watch me as I make my way back to you.


Well I've never been out to space,
but I'll take some tips there.
I said throw out your shame,
but all of his fame was based on his rage.

The ambitions of men are so cruel and so thin,
you never can win. I walk off the stage right back to the page
where I began, don't try and shake my hand! Don't try and shake my hand!

Cause I hated him.


But I can't fall asleep at night,
underneath the stars with a lover at large
in the city that received my surrender so long ago.

Dusty why aren't you ever coming through,
yeah you wrote a bad review, yeah you wrote a bad review!
Dusty, why aren't coming through, yeah you wrote a bad review!
Yeah, you wrote a bad review! (gibberish)
