2049 Songtext
von Wicked Bears

The year is 2049
And the future of mankind is in no way in peril
But there′s a skull and crossbones floating right over my head
It doesn't really bother me, it′s been there for a while now
And sometimes I forget that it's there
Until I bump it on a doorframe, or the wind gets it stuck in my hair
Or I catch somebody trying not to stare

And I wish those flying cars I hear about
Would come down and take me away
Because when I look up at the stars in the infinity of space
They do not spell out your name


No, that would be too convenient!
Stars can't just go around spelling any name anybody looks for
And if they did, I′d probably keep pronouncing it wrong anyway
And I would not share my astral revelation

Now, I′m seeing things
I'm seeing faces every time I close my eyes
Can′t tell if I've been poisoned, or if I′m just desensitized
So now my eyes are always dry from staring at the sky

But I know those flying cars I hear about
Aren't coming to take me away
And when I look up at the stars in the infinity of space
They do not spell out your name

No, that would be too convenient!
Flying cars can′t go around picking anybody up
And if they did, I might tell them just to take me to my parents' house
Because I don't see them as often as I should
No, I don′t see them as often as I should
I don′t see them as often as I should
