“There’s still much to do; still so much to learn. Mr. La Forge – engage!”
― Captain Picard
lyrics
There’s someone you depend on.
There’s a place that you can go.
There’s a time you can go outside.
But there’s still so much to know.
Don’t come home.
They can’t know
the way things changed,
where you go.
You’ll break and own
the whole damn show.
You’ll be living here
the sun’s last glow.
Open wide the gates on main street
Find those cats we thought we owned.
Paint it up just like the 70s
Noodle soup and heavy phones.
Don’t come home.
They won’t know.
How things change.
You should go.
You’ll have to run
the whole damn show
You’ll be living as
their son’s last glow.
Waves of buffalo
Rows of elm trees
Glaciers in the mountains
Clear blue waters
There is someone to depend on.
There is a place to go.
There’s a time to go outside.
But there’s still so much to do.
Don’t come home.
They can’t know
the way things changed,
where you go.
You’ll break and own
the whole damn show.
You’ll be living here
the sun’s last glow.
There’s...
