Last week I left a note on Laura's desk
It said "I love you, signed anonymous friend"
Turns out she's smarter than I thought she was
She knows I wrote it, now the whole class does too
And I'm all alone during couples' skate
When she skates by with some guy on her arm
But I know that I'll forget the look of pity on her face
When I'm living in my solar dome on a platform in space
'Cause it's gonna be the future soon
And I won't always be this way
When the things that make me weak and strange
Get engineered away
It's gonna be the future soon
I've never seen it quite so clear
And when my heart is breaking
I can close my eyes and it's already here
I'll probably be some kind of scientist
Building inventions in my space lab in space
I'll end world hunger, I'll make dolphins speak
Work through the daytime, spend my nights and weekends
Perfecting my warrior robot race
Building them one lazer gun at a time
And I'll do my best to teach them
About life and what it's worth
I just hope that I can keep them from destroying the Earth
'Cause it's gonna be the future soon
I won't always be this way
When the things that make me weak and strange
Get engineered away
It's gonna be the future soon
I've never seen it quite so clear
And when my heart is breaking
I can close my eyes and it's already here
On Earth they'll wonder
As I piece by piece replace myself
And the steel and circuits will make me whole
But I'll still feel so alone
Until Laura calls me home
I'll see her standing by the monorail
She'll look the same except for bionic eyes
She lost the real ones in the robot wars
I'll say "I'm sorry", she'll say "it's not your fault"
Or is it?
She'll eye me suspiciously
Hearing the whir of the servos inside
And she'll scream and try to run
But there'll be no place to hide
When a crazy cyborg wants to make you his robot bride
'Cause it's gonna be the future soon
And I won't always be this way
When the things that make me weak and strange
Get engineered away
It's gonna be the future soon
I've never seen it quite so clear
And when my heart is breaking
I can close my eyes and it's already here
It said "I love you, signed anonymous friend"
Turns out she's smarter than I thought she was
She knows I wrote it, now the whole class does too
And I'm all alone during couples' skate
When she skates by with some guy on her arm
But I know that I'll forget the look of pity on her face
When I'm living in my solar dome on a platform in space
'Cause it's gonna be the future soon
And I won't always be this way
When the things that make me weak and strange
Get engineered away
It's gonna be the future soon
I've never seen it quite so clear
And when my heart is breaking
I can close my eyes and it's already here
I'll probably be some kind of scientist
