Livin' In the Future

A letter come blowin' in on an ill wind
Somethin' 'bout me and you never seein' one another again
Yeah, well I knew it'd come, still I was struck deaf and dumb
Like when we kissed, that taste of blood on your tongue

Don't worry darlin', now baby don't you fret
We're livin' in the future and none of this has happened yet
Don't worry darlin', now baby don't you fret
We're livin' in the future and none of this has happened yet

Woke up Election Day, skies gunpowder and shades of gray
Beneath a dirty sun, I whistle my time away
Then just about sundown, you come walkin' through town
Your boot heels clickin' like the barrel of a pistol spinnin' 'round

Don't worry darlin', now baby don't you fret
We're livin' in the future and none of this has happened yet
Don't worry darlin', now baby don't you fret
We're livin' in the future and none of this has happened yet

The earth it gave away, the sea rose towards the sun
I opened up my heart to you, it got all damaged and undone
My ship Liberty sailed away on a bloody red horizon
The groundskeeper opened the gates and let the wild dogs run

I'm rollin' through town, a lost cowboy at sundown
Got my monkey on a leash, got my ear tuned to the ground
My faith's been torn asunder, tell me is that rollin' thunder
Or just the sinkin' sound of somethin' righteous goin' under?

Don't worry darlin', now baby don't you fret
We're livin' in the future and none of this has happened yet
Don't worry darlin', now baby don't you fret
We're livin' in the future and none of this has happened yet

None of this has happened yet
None of this has happened yet
None of this has happened yet
None of this has happened yet
