A journey to a distant planet and things lost along the way.
The sea is quiet
I'm on my own
Can't plunder ships when you are all alone
I am a pirate, or so I'm told
Just with an empty cargo hold
Now I'm seeing ghosts in the sunshine
I'm hearing voices in the rain
And when the wind blows it feels fine
I just wanna know what everybody knows
They killed our captain
They stole our gold
The crew abandoned me out in the cold
I said, "Me hearties, avast me lads!"
And they said no one talks like that
So I'm seeing ghosts in the sunshine
I'm hearing voices in the rain
And when the wind blows it feels fine
My heart's completely blank
Like my soul just walked the plank
I'm seeing ghosts in the sunshine
I'm drifting through another day
I made a big mistake but it's fine
No more to say, just sail away
They're haunting me, they're taunting me
They're laughing in my face
And inside my head I hear what she said
I think I need some space
And so I bailed, but now I've failed
If I can't go home, then where can I go?
I'm seeing ghosts in the sunshine
I'm hearing voices in the rain
And when the wind blows it feels fine
But there's no peace of mind
In the sunshine
In the sunshine
In the sunshine
In the sunshine
There's a light in my heart
It used to burn bright as the sun of yesterday
And you and I, right from the start
Yeah, we used to pretend and never fade away
Now my heart is burning out
Won't you light it for me?
Won't you tell me how?
When I go out this door tonight
Please leave the light on
You know that I don't wanna go out and lose my way
If one day I find
That you have changed your mind
You're gonna rue the day
Once upon a time we knew each other
And every time you called my name I'd come running to you
And every night I'd start to wonder
Why I was still putting up with all the things you would do
Now I stand on solid ground
Don't you watch out for me
'Cause I ain't coming 'round
When I go out this door tonight
Please leave the light on
You know that I don't wanna go out and lose my way
If one day I find
That you have changed your mind
You're gonna rue the day
Now you're gone
Don't call me on the phone
You might wanna blame me
But what have I done? Oh
When I go out this door tonight
Please leave the light on
You know that I don't wanna go out and lose my way
If one day I find
That you have changed your mind
You're gonna rue the day
When I go out this door tonight
Please leave the light on
You know that I don't wanna go out and lose my way
If one day I find
That you have changed your mind
You're gonna rue the day
But you let me go away
You let me go away
You let me go away
All my life I've wanted to be alive
I've wanted to say that I
Was remembered by someone
But I'm not a super spy
I don't have an x-ray eye
I was created by
A small boy of nine
Who's gone
But in this cold steel case
Lies a beating heart of gold
And I've got metal hands to hold
So, robot boy
Please fill the void in my heart
'Cause you know I can't make it tonight
Without your love
Taking me to the skies above
Oh, robot boy
Let's embark on a voyage of love
Come on take my hand and say it's alright
Let's fly
Tonight I have seen
You do lots of things
You are a war machine
That's something interesting
To be
Baby the time has come
For me to be someone
And after all you've done
I'm sure you're the one
For me
Let's use your laser eyes
And terrorize the land
Then no one will forget
Who I am
So, robot boy
Please fill the void in my heart
'Cause you know I can't make it tonight
Without your love
Taking me to the skies above
Oh, robot boy
Please make the choice to be mine
Come on take my hand and make it alright
Let's fight
Tonight
And when the last few humans on earth are gone
When we're all done
We'll be alone
And I don't care if we're anything crazy
To think that we could maybe
Usher in an era
Where the robots rule the world
Because we've got
Love
Robot girl
I'm sorry to hurt you
But I don't have a human heart like you
I wasn't programmed to love
Just to protect the humans I serve
So, robot girl
I'm gonna save the world from you
And the evil plans you've got inside
Goodbye
Goodbye
With a laser blast
And one bright flash
The robot breaks apart
The time is 8:05, you look me in the eye
You smile and say hello, but then
I struggle with my speech, you stand just out of reach
The moment's gone, I'll try again
The world goes spinning back the other way
I pause to think of what to say
And though I know she's not in love the way she doesn't know that I'm
It's just a matter of time
The time is 8:04, I went back a little more
You turn and look me in the eye
You say well hello there, I blink and then I stare
You shrug and frown and so do I
I press the button and the circuits hum
I make a note, "Try 101"
And though I know she's not in love the way she doesn't know that I'm
It's just a matter of time
Ten weeks ago, I came to watch my life unfold
To see our story told
You saw my face, you ran away
Now I try every way to make it all okay
I feel it slipping away
The time is 8:03, you turn to look at me
I reach out and touch your hand
You smile silently, I think that finally
It's really happening again
I hear the gentle sigh, I recognize
There's something different in her eyes
And though I know she's not in love the way I think she knows that I'm
It's just a matter of time
It's just a matter of time
It's just a matter of time
It's just a matter of time
A mission to Mars
A little child's aspiration
Coming true in a once in a lifetime way
Same sunrise, same stars
Dust and sky, red and yellow
And here am I, turning grey
For the rest of my life, I'll be watching for you
This lonely man from phase one, still waiting for phase two
I knew I'd never go back, but somehow I can't believe
That nobody missed me
I'm stranded, I'm fine
Enough supplies to last a lifetime
Enough room for you to stay
You said you loved me the day I left
You said you promised not to forget
But no one calls, I'm alone in misery
'Cause nobody missed me
A voice comes on the radio
I get a call from ground control
I guess I hope they thought I died
That's alright
A mission back home
Step off the ship, a sea of faces
Not one of them is anyone I know
I waited seventeen years just to see your face
But when I walked through the door
I saw I'd been replaced
I wasted all of my time, I spurned my destiny
But nobody, nobody
I wanna go back home
I don't belong anymore, I don't know what I should be
'Cause nobody missed me
And so this is it
This is all I get
Five years of washing away
And you have nothing to say
Listen baby, I know
Why you want to go
But you just might stick around
Once you hear what I can say now
Let's Ctrl+Alt+Delete this thing
Let's Ctrl+F a way to get it back again
Let's Ctrl+C the past
Ctrl+V it back
Ctrl+X all of that stuff I said
Let's Ctrl+Alt+Delete this thing
Don't you Alt+F4
Don't you walk out that door
I know you might be surprised to hear this from me
But baby, I think it's time to get Ctrl+B
So let's Ctrl+Alt+Delete tonight
Let's Alt+Tab away to somewhere we won't find
We could Esc and then we'll F5 again
Hard refresh, Ctrl+S, save our place
But let's Ctrl+Alt+Delete this thing
And let's Ctrl+Z
Back to before you met the man
Don't just Ctrl+Shift+Escape
Right click, End Process and wait
He'll just respawn again
He'll just respawn again
You work in IT
And so does he
I'm not a tech savvy guy
Listen baby, I'm trying
So let's Ctrl+Alt+Delete one time
Reboot, reformat, restore from an external drive
I'm not sure what all these things do
But I'm dying to prove what I'll do
For you
I remember that awful night like it was yesterday
The news hit me like a ton of bricks
I knew what they were gonna say
Ever since I was a little boy I thought that I could be someone
That's until The Rock became Dwayne Johnson
The kids, they all laughed and they pointed at me and said some hurtful things
I used to soar like a bird but here came this mighty wind to break my spread out wings
I've never been a strong man but even when I was a boy that never bothered anyone
That's until The Rock became Dwayne Johnson
He's some kind of action hero superstar
And I am just a regular sized human man
But somehow every day someone has to say
"Oh, isn't it funny?"
Is this all I am?
My bags are packed, I'm looking out of the window 'cause today's the day
After all these years now I'm changing my name and I'm running away
But if I go and I know what I'm gonna hear
Everyone will say, "Dwayne Johnson has disappeared"
Yeah, but then they'll say, "No, he's not gone"
"He's not the real Dwayne Johnson"
Oh, come on
I swear I'm real
I swear I'm full of life
I swear I do what I can
But my life has been stolen away by this giant of a man
I used to think that I could make a name for myself
I thought I'd be someone
That's until The Rock became Dwayne Johnson
That's until The Rock became Dwayne Johnson
I can feel my heart beating faster
I can tell that love's going my way
But here we are, though we've come this far
We've got a long way to go
Waiting, waiting, waiting for you to be mine
We don't need to get any older
We don't have to fall more in love
But here we are, we're being kept apart
By the time that's left to go
Waiting, waiting, waiting for you to be mine
Waiting, waiting, waiting such a long time
Oh, whoa
The words get caught in my throat
And when I'm trying to tell you I'm tired of waiting
I know that you're here but I'm standing here hating this
I can see that you've been waiting on me
Like I'm waiting, waiting, waiting on you
Oh, whoa
The words get caught in my throat
And when I'm trying to tell you I'm standing here waiting
I know that you're here but I'm tired of hating this
All the while, you're slowly losing your smile
But if you can just fake it
I know that we'll make it someday
Waiting, waiting, waiting for such a long time
Waiting, waiting
Waiting, waiting, waiting for you to be mine
The sirens rang at half-past four
He jumped up and ran out the door
He found the place in total disarray
The gates had all been opened
And glass cases were broken
He knew the time had come to save the day
Now the zookeeper rides away
'Cause there's no one left to save
The primates and the lions
Ran away and started fighting
But they stopped and stared when they saw him come
Turtles, snakes, lizards, and spiders
Crept through holes slithered outside
But he scooped them up in his hat and brought them home
Now the zookeeper rides away
He never thought he'd see the day
Now the zookeeper rides away
'Cause there's no one left to save
All the animals came running when they heard him call
He was sure he'd saved them all
The world had changed since yesterday in many ways
More than he knew
But he was going to
'Cause early yesterday morning
They shot the rhino, they took its horn
And they sold it for whatever it was worth
And so he dug a shallow grave
For the friend he was too late to save
And he turned away as tears fell to the earth
Now the zookeeper rides away
His fears were realized that day
Now the zookeeper rides away
'Cause there's no one left to save
Hello, nice to see you again
I'm good, yeah, I'm good, thanks for asking
Don't know
Don't remember
Not sure
Did you guys see it too?
How could that be?
That's Tom and the Andersens
Talking about odds and ends
Bringing up shows he won't know
And books they've never read
And Tom knows there's no time to waste
And no time to pretend
But it's alright, it's alright
He can take it
Hey, guys, yeah, let yourselves in
Hey, kids, guess who it is
Yeah, you guessed right
Sam, show your artwork
Amy, show them your dance
She's good, yeah, she's good
You said that last time
You say that every time
Now, it's Tom and the Andersens
Hanging out again
Shooting the breeze about the week
Since last time they all met
And Tom knows he would die inside
If he weren't already dead
But it's alright, it's alright
He can take it
One night at home he sees her
Smiling at him down the hall
His eyes brighten as he takes her picture
Off the wall
He holds it close as he cries
Then he hears a knock at the door
Surprise
Now it's Tom and the Andersens
Acting like they're all friends
Talking about who they once knew
Before it reached the end
And Tom knows there's no way that he can
Ever love again
But it's alright, it's alright, it's alright
It's alright, it's alright
