Yeasayer - 2080 lyrics

rate me

Verse 1:

I can’t sleep when I think about the times we’re living in,

I can’t sleep when I think about the future I was born into,

Outsiders dressed up like Sunday morning,

With no Berlin wall what the hell you gonna do.

Chorus:

It’s a New Year,

I’m glad to be here

It’s a fresh spring,

So let’s sing.

In 2080

I’ll surely be dead

So don’t look ahead,

Never look ahead

It’s a New Year,

I’m glad to be here

It’s the first spring,

So let’s sing.

And the moon shines bright

On the water tonight

So we won’t drown

In the summer sound.

Verse 2:

If you find me I’ll be sitting by the water fountain,

Picket signs, letdowns, meltdown it’s Monday morning

But it’s alright, it’s alright, it’s alright, it’s alright

It’s alright,

Cause in no time, They’ll be gone I guess I’ll still be standing here.

Chorus

Bridge:

Yeah Yeah we can all grab at the chance and be handsome farmers,

Yeah you can have twenty one sons and be blood when they marry my daughters,

And the pain that we left at the station will stay in a jar behind us.

We can pickle the pain into blue ribbon winners at county contests.

Chorus

Bridge<br />
