"The Ever Elusive Future" lyrics

"The Ever Elusive Future"

The ever-elusive future
Ever-elusive future

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

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

The ever-elusive future
Ever-elusive future

The ever-elusive future is a script right from our past
Conjoining 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

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

The ever-elusive future
Ever-elusive future

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

The ever-elusive future, it just sows 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

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

The ever-elusive future
(Ever elusive)
Ever-elusive future
(Ever elusive)
The ever-elusive future
(Not much to compare)
Ever-elusive future
(How do we get there)
