Brendan O'Brien - Livin' In The Future lyrics

[Verse 1] A letter come blowing in On an ill wind Something about me and you Never seeing one another again And what I knew had come Stars struck deaf and dumb Like when we kissed That taste of blood on your tongue [Chorus][x2] Don't worry, darling No baby, don't you fret We're living in the future And none of this has happened yet [Verse 2] Woke up election day Sky's gunpowder and shades of grey Beneath the dirty sun I whistle my time away Then just about sun down You come walking through town Your boot heels clicking like The barrel of a pistol spinning round [Chorus][x2] [Verse 3] 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 [Chorus] Alone I limp 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 rolling thunder Or just the sinking sound Of something righteous going under [Chorus] Don't worry, darling No baby, don't you fret We're living in the future And none of this has happened yet Don't worry, darling No baby, don't you fret We're living in the future And none of this has happened yet None of this has happened yet[x4] [Outro] Na na na na[x14]
