lyrics

Time Travelers from the Future

Dismissing tricks of lights or solar flares
The have arrived Under mysterious stares
They could be standing near you might never know
Just what are their intensions?
Might they take control?

We cannot recognize them
As they look like you and I
They are hard to resist
Don’t look into their eyes

They are time travelers from the future
Aliens from the past
Who are here at last

Walking here amongst us
What is it that they seek?
To occupy our space
Where the oxygen will leak

They see us as their past
which they once belonged
They left this place behind
Knowing something was wrong

Return to the blue planet
With some intentions
The future failed to provide
Unpopular fiction

We cannot recognize them
As they look like you and I
They are hard to resist
Don’t look into their eyes

They are time travelers from the future
Aliens from the past
Who are here at last

Walking here amongst us
What is it that they seek?
To occupy our space
Where the oxygen will leak

What could they possibly want
That they don’t have already?
Shopping malls
Remote calls
Sushi bars
Driverless cars

What do they hope will last?
Is the future better than the past?
Ocean liners
All night diners
Deep blue seas
Late night Movies

With nothing else to do
They make circles in fields
They fly around the world
To them it’s a thrill

The appear and disappear
To them it’s a game
Flying near commercial flights
They show off their flashing lights

We cannot recognize them
As they look like you and I
They are hard to resist
Don’t look into their eyes

They are time travelers from the future
Aliens from the past
Who are here at last

Walking here amongst us
What is it that they seek?
To occupy our space
Where the oxygen will leak
