Lemon Demon - Behold the FUTURE lyrics

[Spoken] Good morning, people of humbler times! My a**ociates and I, we come to you from the future That's right, we come from the future And we have many stories to tell Stories of war, stories of science Oh yes, things that will change your lives forever But all we're prepared to divulge today Is this cryptic song [Verse 1] In the year 2004 We were opening the door To a pathway full of sunny looking times In the year 2005 Stopwatch futures took a dive Leaving us with nothing more than cents and dimes [Chorus 1] In the years we've yet to see We do not know, but we agree That there will be no rest We'll pa** our test Become obsessed and free [Verse 2] In the year 2006 We discovered magic tricks Which we used for waging war against the odds In the year 2007 They invited us to heaven And we plundered the casino of the gods [Chorus 2] In the years we've yet to know There is no rain, there's only snow And there will be no sound No sky, no ground So turn around and go (And go) [Verse 3] In the year 2008 Don LaFontaine sealed our fate In the shady corner of Pandora's Box In the year 2009 We turned water into wine Then to Diet Dr. Pepper on the rocks [Chorus 1] [Verse 4] In the year 2010 We were out the door again But our methods of respect were misconstrued In the year 2011 We were summoned back to heaven For a lecture of unearthly magnitude In the year 2012 We were sadly forced to delve Into a leather-bound compendium or two In the year 2013 We destroyed the new machine Thus completing what we thought we'd never do
