Ehem, ehem ehem!
Kind ladies, gentlemen and younger folks,
We’re gathered today to celebrate yet another edition
of the country’s favorite music show, Top of the Pops,
edition of 2070-something.
Look, I don’t care anymore, just play the song…

Now,
Why was I born last, and why am I, of all, ignored?
As far as I can tell, I was born into a world
where I can see all that I wanna see,
but why would I believe in what I’ve never seen?
In what I’m yet to see.

And all my gifts that came straight from the sky
Is this a naive state of mind?
I’d realized right then, I might as well just blind myself!
So take it all from me, and just fulfill your fantasies
of what I’ve never seen,
Advanced jet-fueled parenting!

And washing what’s inside of me from the side
of the place I used to work, it’s indescribably
forever, banished here and force to lurk.
It leaves me speechless to a degree you’ve never seen.
Is the world there for me? If this is what it lets me see.

As far as I can tell, it happens all the time,
all the time!
As far as I can tell, it happens all the time,
all the time…

I first bumped into you while we were walking at the beach,
It’s not been very long, and I know this is a reach,
but would you spend your whole, long life with me?
One day we will believe in what we’ve never seen,
in what we’re yet to see.

I’ve been in viral lock-down for these last 24 years,
I grow colder every day, yet you feel so very near, I mean
how could life go on for me? If you’re not there to be,
in my eternity. How could that be, believably?

I can’t bare my numbers reaching 10
’cause I don’t know what I’d do then,
Is this a trial for me? Or some sick joke that I will never get,
Protecting younger lives while acting violently
is now required of me,
What’s so hard to see?

As far as I can tell, it happens all the time,
all the time!
As far as I can tell, it happens all the time,
all the time…
