Lyrics:
Last week I left a note on Lauras desk
It said I love you, signed Anonymous Friend
Turns out shes smarter than I thought she was
She knows I wrote it, now the whole class does too
And Im all alone during couples skate
When she skates by with some guy on her arm
But I know that Ill forget the look of pity in her face
When Im living in my solar dome on a platform in space
Cause its gonna be the future soon
I wont always be this way
When the things that make me weak and strange get engineered away
Its gonna be the future soon
Never seen it quite so clear
When my heart is breaking I can close my eyes and its already here
Ill probably be some kind of scientist
Building inventions in my space lab in space
Ill end world hunger Ill make dolphins speak
Work through the daytime, spend my nights and weekends
Perfecting my warrior robot race
Building them one laser gun at a time
I will do my best to teach them
About life and what its worth
I just hope that I can keep them from destroying the Earth
Cause its gonna be the future soon
And I wont always be this way
When the things that make me weak and strange get engineered away
Its gonna be the future soon
Ive never seen it quite so clear
When my heart is breaking I can close my eyes its already
Here on Earth theyll wonder
As I piece by piece replace myself
And the steel and circuits will make me whole
But Ill still feel so alone
Until Laura calls me home
Ill see her standing by the monorail
Shell look the same except for bionic eyes
She lost the real ones in the robot wars
Ill say Im sorry, shell say its not your fault&or is it?
Shell eye me suspiciously
Hearing the whir of the servos inside
She will scream and try to run
But theres nowhere she can hide
When a crazy cyborg wants to make you his robot bride
Well its gonna be the future soon
And I wont always be this way
When the things that make me weak and strange get engineered away
Its gonna be the future soon
Ive never seen it quite so clear
When my heart is breaking I can close my eyes, its already here
