Here Comes the Future

In the future, all the motorways have faded,
and loathe the ghost story I tell to scare the saboteurs away.
Careful of the company you keep,
the chemist tells me you’ve made friends.
I X-rayed myself and called the police.

Yes yes, we love electric lights,
and we looked very modern once.
But here comes the future,
here comes the future.
