The Future Songtext
von Teenage Fanclub

I know I waste time
Don′t know what I'm doing
Pass life to explore
To show what′s true

Sit down, take time
To show what needs showing
All I showed was a false door
That the dead walk through

Thoughts of ancient times
Gonna open up my head
But it's hard to walk into the future
When your shoes are made of lead


Slow down, take time
To know what's worth knowing
Walk out the front door
And see what′s new

And all this time, it was in front of you
And all this time you knew it, too

Thoughts of ancient times
Gonna show me where I′ve been
But I want to walk into the future
And see things I've never seen

Thoughts of ancient time
To remind us where we′ve been
But we're gonna walk into the future
And see sights we′ve never seen
