lyrics

A fire crackles at my feet.
The kids are playing peacefully
on my seven million dollar persian rug.
They’re toasting marshmallows on twigs
and when they’re golden brown
they bring them over here for me to eat.

Don’t tell me it’s over.
Don’t tell me it’s over.
Don’t tell me it’s over so soon.

My supermodel wife looks lovingly at me,
she just signed a publishing deal,
she’s the next Harper Lee.
My Oscars twinkle and gleam,
my phone won't stop buzzing,
everybody wants to hear from me.

Don’t tell me it’s over.
Don’t tell me it’s over.
Don’t tell me it’s over so soon.

Then in my wife’s eyes I begin to see
pixelation spreading out
as she starts to lag and flicker.
My baby boy glitches over to me,
says, “Daddy I lo-.. - s __ .._”

Don’t tell me it’s over.
Don’t tell me it’s over.
Don’t tell me it’s over so soon.

I stare down at my feet
standing on the holodeck,
surrounded by projectors.
I walk back along the passageway to see
the astronauts frozen in their cryogenic pods.
Their vital signs still look fine to me
so I pick up the broom and do a lap,
open the chute, eject the trash,
and stare out at the passing galaxy.
Everything seems so quiet out there,
everything is so quiet in here,
only 14 years of this,
only 14 years of this,
only 14 years of this to go.

Tell me it’s over.
Please tell me it’s over.
Can’t it be over soon.
