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

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

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
