Lyrics of win:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Last week I left a note on Laura’s desk.
\nIt said I love you, signed anonymous friend.
\nTurns out she’s smarter than I thought she was.
\nShe knows I wrote it, now the whole class does too.
\n And I’m alone during couples skate when she skates by with some guy on her arm,
\n but I know that I’ll forget
\nthe look of pity in her face
\nwhen I’m living in my solar dome on a platform in space. <\/p>\n

‘Cause it’s gonna to be the future soon
\nand I won’t always be this way,
\nwhen the things that make me weak and strange get engineered away.<\/p>\n

It’s gonna be the future soon.
\nI’ve never seen it quite so clear
\nand when my heart is breaking
\nI can close my eyes and it’s already here. <\/p>\n

I’ll probably be some kind of scientist
\nbuilding inventions in my space lab in space.
\nI’ll end world hunger;
\nI’ll make dolphins speak.
\nWork through the daytime;
\nspend my nights and weekends
\n perfecting my warrior robot race.
\nBuilding them one laser gun at a time,
\nI will do my best to teach them about life and what it’s worth.
\nI just hope that I can keep them away from destroying the Earth.<\/p>\n

‘Cause it’s gonna be the future soon
\nand I won’t always be this way.
\nWhen the things that make me weak and strange get engineered away,
\nit’s gonna be the future soon.
\nI’ve never seen it quite so clear
\nand when my heart is breaking
\nI can close my eyes and it’s already. <\/p>\n

Here on Earth they’ll wonder
\nas I piece by piece replace myself
\nand the steel and circuits will make me whole,
\n but I’ll still feel so alone
\nuntil Laura calls me home. <\/p>\n

I’ll see her standing by the monorail.
\nShe’ll look the same except for bionic eyes.
\nShe lost the real ones in the robot wars.
\nI’ll say I’m sorry,
\nshe’ll say it’s not your fault,
\nor is it? <\/p>\n

She’ll eye me suspiciously
\nhearing the whir of the servos inside,
\n she will scream and try to run,
\nbut there’s nowhere she can hide,
\nwhen a crazy cyborg wants to make you his robot bride. <\/p>\n

Well, it’s gonna be the future soon
\nand I won’t always be this way.
\nWhen the things that make me weak and strange get engineered away,
\nit’s gonna be the future soon.
\nI’ve never seen it quite so clear
\nand when my heart is breaking
\nI can close my eyes and it’s already…<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
