The Ever Elusive Future Songtext

[Intro]

The Ever Elusive Future
Ever Elusive Future

ONE

The Ever Elusive Future's like a comet with a tail,
That human, stride lasso, but we always seem to fail.

The Ever Elusive Future spins a hybrid with a slash,
For fools and fortune tellers always looking for the cash.

ONE

But there's always something lurking in the jungle,
Better watch your step, it's not a place to stumble.
Something's movin', something's comin'.

The Ever Elusive Future

TWO

The Ever Elusive Future is a script right from our past,
Conjoning frogs and raptors that may leave the world a ghast.
The Ever Elusive Future has no time to read fate,
Creation, Mother Nature are who is the missing link.

TWO

'Cause there's always, something lurking in the jungle.
It's getting hot, I'm feeling kinda fungle.
Never sleepin', always creepin'.

The Ever Elusive Future

[Bridge]

More then the strong survive, who's gonna be alive...
In a Million Years (In a Million Years).
How lucky can you get, life's a long shot, yet, but we're still here.

THREE

The Ever Elusive Future, it just sowes the seeds of Time,
It's mission's been a secret, No Reason nor No Rhyme.
It's hiding in a wormhole, or behind some distant moon,
But the one thing you can count on, it will be here fairly soon.

ONE (Repraise)

And there's always something lurking in the jungle,
Better watch your step, it's not a place to stumble.
Something's movin', something's comin'.
