VERSE 1: Andrew David, he's high off the ground in his new flying saucer unidentified fly object, earthlings clueless how he got there Mae calls him Louk Skywalker, he shall live long and prosper author of his own fate, hyperspeeding through space on three two eight one nine eight four he crash-landed on this blue orb walked away unphased but he's shipwrecked, gotta get it remade do they sell spaceships on eBay? he's studying how humans behave when they meet their very first Andrew David the future's now you already late CHORUS: Only today, no time for tomorrow (no time) What would you do with the time that you borrowed (what would you do?) In your time machine? (in your time machine) The things you'd see, (and then you hit 'em with the) yeah oh All you could know (know) know (know) oh (oh) Where would you go (go) oh (oh) All that you missed (missed), missed (oh) Now you can fix with your time machine VERSE 2: It's our little secret, they gon' flip But I came back so I could take you with I just hope we can both make this trip back back back back I had to risk it, we're too perfect A future without you is worthless Activate light speed now, fade to black black black black Where'd you go? I followed the protocol My forcefield's down, it must have broken off I mis-timed the launch trajectory At this speed, my shields can't protect me Right here's where your hero dies So tell tomorrow at least I tried Gravity has me, I'm falling fast I heard one last thing before I crash CHORUS VERSE 3: Subject 2 M O R zero Last name: Forgotten. First name: Hero. Anesthetic's been given Experiment log has it written that 1.61 minutes following Subject voluntarily swallowing the three pills What he feels will be similar to déja vu Ten fuel cells and ample food No bunk beds, a one-man crew Comm systems are activated Stabilized anti-gravitation Ladies and gentlemen: success. Here's to another time machine sent Back to the 21st century Right before he lost everything CHORUS

CHORUS: Just for tonight We can go anywhere Your love's so right You're my fairy tale VERSE 1: Once upon a time, a cool young prince Stands right by an angel and catches a glimpse Of a glitter in her eye as she licks her lips And says "I love you", but he's never seen her since Bippity boppity boo-hoo, another love story? Happily-ever-afters are all so corny Just go on forever pretending Like the vicious cycle will never be ending Back where they started, they're chillin' in the Camry Our hero's trying not to sweat her so badly Denying what they want, but if they let it be, They'll find their way back to each other's less-than-three's <3 But that's just how the story goes They split up like how I eat an Oreo Man, they should've dunked it Damn, who'd have thunk That their fucked up love is the only way they function It's midnight, their carriage turns back into a pumpkin CHORUS VERSE 2: My wonderland's Alice, I catch her when she falls Down through the rabbit hole, I guess it's my fault For this one night of magic, we're dancing at the ball But I know she wants to have it with her back against the wall This dream is our reality, please don't say it's not We just wanna stay asleep, please don't wake us up The Cinderella story ends when we say it does I hate to burst your bubble, but I don't think it's love We say we're laying out everything on the table But what we really want is so unattainable Maybe we love breaking up 'cause we love the making up We shrug it off like we never gave a fuck Our once-upon-a-time drops by to say "hi" We're stuck on all the bad, but too afraid to let it die It's so hard to let go of old habits Paul Bunyan of a love, but we had to axe it And there goes the magic CHORUS VERSE 3: In his vanity fantasy, the hero gets laid But feelings all changed, so hero got slayed She tried to make him real, but she is no Gepetto He's unhealed like Cinderella's stiletto Forbidden fruit, sleeping beauty want the apple Pulling out her hair like Rapunzel in her castle Why is finding love such a hassle? Why do wicked witches turn boys into assholes? Mirror mirror on the wall, why does everybody Feel like they're flying when they fall in love Then they feel like they're dying when it's all said and done The gingerbread house end of the bread crumbs Every single princess, every prince charming Star-crossed lovers part ways in the mourning Please stop this carousel Farewell to our fairy tale CHORUS

Summer 03:23
VERSE 1: There was this girl She was my world It's been six months Miss her so much We started to play At the end of May Now she's so cold Baby, please come back home, oh oh oh CHORUS: Summer won't you please come back to me After those three months, why'd you have to leave? I know we've got one of them thangs 'cause every year you are my summer time fling Oh, oh, oh... VERSE 2: Cruising the streets When life was a beach Wind in our hair Without a care June and July She's by my side (oh so fly) When August is done Baby girl, she's on the run, oh oh oh (CHORUS) BRIDGE: Ooh, why you gotta go and leave me alone wondering "What if we gave this love our all?" (What if we gave it our all?) The love was so bright, flying high as a kite But every time you leave me, I fall (CHORUS)

CHORUS: Starry-eyed forever Sorry I will never See the world just like you do VERSE 1: (Greetings, earthlings) You ever wonder if all the stars you see at night Are all the super stars in your life? Past, present, future tense Some kind of influence Whether they know it or not Letting them know I ain't forgot Oh no, I can't forget, but when I do forget It breaks my heart I know we hardly talk And I don't telephone you often I don't see but I feel you And I know you're watching Every sunrise feel like your eyes are watching over me Sometimes feel lost But I know I'm right where I'm supposed to be CHORUS VERSE 2: My, my dreams lift me off the ground I can't stay grounded like a problem child It's hard to fly when your feet are planted I won't forget you when I leave your planet Stay star fly like an asteroid You wanna get it, come get it, holler at your boy To have a conversation, with constellations And bling like Saturn's rings in my spaceship My peeps VIP, we get up in this No wait in line. "Weightless" get it? Zero G's. Hyperspeed through space and time But her milky way's got me stalled in my orbit (oh) before I forget, here go my wish list: It consists of the word "everything" inside two asterisks CHORUS

Clone Me 04:06
VERSE 1: (yeah, okay) I left this note for the Future Me I was already everything you would be The astronaut, the make-believer The skywalker, the lucid dreamer I don't know if I believe in God, but I do believe in good Good people want so badly to just be understood I know that all I have sometimes feels hardly good enough That boy from Wichita, Kansas, took flight to Hollywood it up If you don't know me Might think I'm way too showy A star 'til I'm star dust, Andrew David Bowie Oh he must be lonely, why would he clone himself? DIY 'til I die, I refuse to ask for help I'm the 23rd century version of Merlin I am so determined Much like Uma Thurman: Dedicate my life trying to kill my bills The day I'm sick of getting money is the day I'm ill CHORUS: It's just me (oh, whoa) and me (oh, whoa) and me (oh, whoa) Nobody else can see (nobody else can see) Just where I go (go oh oh oh) And I know that you're lonely (whoa) Go ahead and clone me (whoa) Starry-eyed forever (whoa) Flying high together (whoa) So hurry, before the portals close... VERSE 2: (okay, okay, okay) Cut to our hero barely lucid in a labcoat Trying to hold on to the past While her hand's gripping on a scalpel Growing oh so fond of dude She said "I can't hold onto you" I said "Nothing's impossible" Capulet and Montague I hear you crying and sighing, baby We'll be okay 'Cause our advances in science, baby, will lead the way Looking at today makes my eyes sore Cannot wait for the day when everyone's a cyborg (whoa) Automated everything, we won't have to try Emotions all extinct, so there's no reason to cry We'll touch infinity 'cause no one ever dies If computers do it all, then why the fuck are we alive? If nobody but yourself can save you So I went ahead and made two Andrew's Those two made two more Attack of the clones, clones galore And another three, and another four Now I got the real me and a dozen more If all's fair in love and war I'ma leave my clones to fight and then teleport... CHORUS
