Future Reflections Lyrics by MGMT

Oracular Spectacular

2007

[Verse 1]
And there were future reflections
On the face and the hands
On a green-colored island
On a primitive man
It was the future reflecting
It felt familiar but new
A street was missing a building
The kids had something to do

[Chorus 1]
There was a feeling the spirit was leaving
Red like a marker
So my tribe, with my knife
Cut the heart from a lonely life

[Verse 2]
I saw patterns on floorboards
Deep in the dust was a leader
Someone was walking on floorboards
Turning from oak into cedar
He can assess the situation
I wrapped a string around my finger
Into the forest with the young ones
I don't expect to be a winner

[Chorus 2]
But as long as you feel it, I'm a believer
My heart is phosphor
Sea rolls and death tolls
Break the surface, don't break my bones
Off of the trail and off of your hands and
Onto a new plan
Is the cost to stay lost
Forever in an empty skin, pale and thin?

[Bridge]
If it's good, or if it's fortune, I can't tell
But pieces come together for some reason, just as well
Their guns couldn't see us, there's a sea outside my door
And one day I'll appreciate the rush of blood and the washed-out beat of the shore

[Outro]
And remember what it felt like
To be alone
Sitting in the sunlight
All alone
