lyrics

I used to spend my time thinking about - spaceships and flying cars - robotic pets and dehydrated chocolate bars - yep - making ray guns out of hockey sticks and walkie talkies out of bricks - my bike's a rocket - it's the nicest - dreamin' 'bout how I could build some teleportation devices - so me and my droids could avoid the Cuban missile crisis

I lay awake at night - thinking 'bout the satellites - star light star bright - first star I see tonight - I made a wish and sent it up to reach the sun too - every prediction born of fiction was to come true

I blink my eyes - and we arrive - at the present day

Hellbent - on artificial intelligence - even at the expense - of all of our innocence - do you really want a fucking robot making your decisions for you? - oh wait they already do

Remember the time - when you were climbin' the trees - and learning about the birds and the bees - none of these - ever required a thing - but your engagement and awareness of the little things

So here we go - gettin' back to the present - but it's past - and the future always comes a little too fast - I get caught up in fantasies - about the way things used to be - I live inside that dream - and then remember that I'm just a

Sucker for sci-fi - still wishing that I was bionic - I'm riding rockets whose propulsion is of course ionic - iconoclastic metal man - I plan to choose defiance - I'm out to plasticize or straight up kill your views of science

Sucker for sci-fi - I was born inside an atom smasher - magnetic DNA - my particles can go no faster - accelerated past the point of being matter - evaporated into light and floating up the ladder - no need to use these antiquated tools to get my bearings - my senses start at six - the other five are all red herrings

Misleading clues - cannot be used - to disabuse - humanity believing untruths

The secret lies within the things that we're surrounded by - no need to fabricate a myth or live inside a lie - you can appreciate a thing without defining it - the labels that you stick can only fit a tiny bit - of what is actually beyond the scope of definition - nature doesn't give a shit about your week belief system - which doesn't mean you can't devote your life to wi-fi - but as for me - I'll be a sucker for sci-fi
