there was a tropical storm out my window
the cats were asleep and alive and she still loved me
someone once told me the future is history
and the past is still happening, and the present's a mystery
but i didn't believe them, cause i don't believe anything
whether i read it or see it on tv
everything is far away, and i'm in my head all day
and nothing is bothering me
it was raining as hard as this, as hard as it ever did
but this is the future, and that was a funeral
and it's typical, isn't it?
to think of it as a catalyst
the death of a loved one, like you're shot out of a cannon
but i didn't feel that way, cause i don't feel anything
unless i get to read it or rent the dvd
everything is far away, and i'm in my head all day
and nothing is bothering me
the golden age is gonna end before it starts
i'm gonna make a million friends
and then i'll throw them all away, just like the old ones
see, i've got a vested interest in breaking hearts
i had all the answers right there in front of me
but i spent all day sleeping and playing nintendo
someone once told me the journey of a thousand miles
it starts with just one thought in your head
but i don't think i thought it, cause i never think at all
i only read comic books and the words on the tv
everything seems far away, but it's gonna be here one day
the future's as tall as a tree
but i wouldn't know it, cause i don't know anything
and nothing is bothering me
