Verse 1 Staring through windows, crumpled up cellophane Thunderclap car crash, and it’s starting to rain Crepsucular skyline, Iridescent horizon Fluorescence in motion, like a neon lit diamond
Pre Chorus Tell me do you feel like trying something new? Rearrange the timeline, only if you don’t mind
Chorus The future arrived (the future arrived) Where were you (where were you) The future is gone (the future is gone) So what’s new (so what’s new) If you find something new, don’t deny what you can do The future’s bright, I can see the whitest light, our destiny
Verse 2 With polarized eyeballs, the palest of celadon When fractals are decayed, then beauty will be gone Liquid crystal parallellograms, kaleidoscopic retina A palimpsest of holograms, exploding into nebula
Repeat Pre Chorus Repeat Chorus
Verse 3 Somebody put naphthalene, into the Ice Machine Subatomic particles, some were pink and others green Organic crystallography, disturbing the complexity Synthetic iconography, a collapsing of integrity
Repeat Chorus
End Chorus The future arrived (right on time) Where were you (out of sight) The future is gone (I don’t mind) So what’s new (we say goodnight) If you find, something new Don’t deny, what you can do The future’s bright, I can see The whitest light, our destiny

Additional Information: I'm currently in Manhattan. Saturday the 11th of May, 2019. Just went to Blink Gym on Avenue A. Now I’m at Jeffo and Peter’s place in Lower East Side. Jeffo started on lyrics yesterday and I’m here today to finish off the song with him. We are listening to Cry Boy Cry by Blue Zoo and also Wham Rap (Gigamesh Remix) by Wham! A repair man from Time Warner Spectrum was just here to fix Jeffo’s phone and internet and I’m on my 3rd cup of coffee. Tonight I’m going to dinner at La Palapa with Doug, Gloria and Joe. We started work on tweaking the vocals at 12:57. Verses done at 14.17. Chorus melody started at 14.22 Chorus melody done by 14.29 Song is done. Party time!
UNUSED LYRICS Verse 1 (Pretty Pretty?) We stared though windows of crumpled cellophane, We heard a thunderclap car crash and it started to rain. A crepuscular sky that looks so iridescent And all neon lights twinkle on their fluorescence
He had polarized eyes of pale celadon. But when the fractals decayed all his beauty was gone. The quantum circuits broke into arrythmic waves, Synthetic vacuums were filled and now no one behaves.
Someone put naphthalene into the ice machine. Subatomic particles, some were pink and others green. Liquid crystal parallelograms, a kaleidoscopic retina, A palimpsest of holograms, an intergalactic nebula.
Verse 2 (Machine's Breaking Down) His/Your/With/The/Its polarized eyeballs, the palest of celadon But when the fractals are decayed, all your/the beauty will/may/could be gone Liquid crystal parallellograms, kaleidoscopic retina A palimpsest of holograms, exploding into nebula
Verse 3 (Chaos Ensues) Somebody put (*) naphthalene, into the (terrible) ice machine Subatomic particles, some were pink and others green Organic crystallography, (is) disturbing the complexity Synthetic iconography, with a collapsing of integrity (the/a collapse of your/the integrity)
