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 alone during couple skate
When she skates by with some guy on her arm
But I know that I'll forget the look of pity in 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 laser gun at a time
I will 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
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 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?
And she'll eye me suspiciously
Hearing the whir of the servos inside
She will scream and try to run
But there's nowhere she can hide
When a crazy cyborg wants to make you his robot bride

Well 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


Mirror lyrics:

And when my heart is breaking I can close my eyes and it's already here
I've never seen it quite so clear
It's gonna be the future soon
When the things that make me weak and strange get engineered away
And I won't always be this way
Well it's gonna be the future soon

When a crazy cyborg wants to make you his robot bride
But there's nowhere she can hide
She will scream and try to run
Hearing the whir of the servos inside
And she'll eye me suspiciously
Or is it?
I'll say I'm sorry, she'll say it's not your fault
She lost the real ones in the robot wars
She'll look the same except for bionic eyes
I'll see her standing by the monorail

Until Laura calls me home
But I'll still feel so alone
And the steel and circuits will make me whole
As I piece by piece replace myself
Here on Earth they'll wonder

And when my heart is breaking I can close my eyes and it's already
I've never seen it quite so clear
It's gonna be the future soon
When the things that make me weak and strange get engineered away
And I won't always be this way
Cause it's gonna be the future soon

I just hope that I can keep them from destroying the Earth
About life and what it's worth
I will do my best to teach them
Building them one laser gun at a time
Perfecting my warrior robot race
Work through the daytime, spend my nights and weekends
I'll end world hunger I'll make dolphins speak
Building inventions in my space lab in space
I'll probably be some kind of scientist

And when my heart is breaking I can close my eyes and it's already here
I've never seen it quite so clear
It's gonna be the future soon
When the things that make me weak and strange get engineered away
And I won't always be this way
Cause it's gonna be the future soon
