A Traveler's Lament

from Rocket City by The Sky Captains of Industry

/

lyrics

The clocks stop honey
Tick tock ticking in the hallway
I wind them up they only wear me down
Though I think I'm speaking I am only
Making little clicking sounds

Well I wander through this doorway
A hundred million years ago
And I tell you all about it but there's
Things you shouldn't really know
like: "Immortality is cheap when
Everything you love is cracked and died!"
Besides... forever is a long, long time!

Forever... forever... forever... is a long, long time!

Will you write for me a letter
There's something I would like to say
I looked into your future and I know you're
Getting out some day
In stylus on papyrus let's get this epistle
Started right away!
I'm sorry that I'm sorry
I'm sorry that my well ran dry
Tell my mother that I love her
And I never meant to make her cry
Lost here in eternity
Don't spend your life wait for me besides
Forever is a long, long time!

Forever... forever... forever... is a long, long time!
