2,000 Years from Now Lyrics by Steve Harley

Stranger Comes to Town

2010

He wakes, the celebrating is done
Still he silently screams
Alone, alone, lost on silent street
He sits, motionless, in his corner
Head in hands, disbelieving
The shame, the shame
A cost he cannot meet
And so nobody takes his side
No, nobody saves his life
2,000 years from now
What'll the history tell?
Mankind, disgraced and lost in hell
2,000 years from now
What'll the history show?
Mankind destroyed itself, oh no!
The gun, shooting-stick and the collar
Fog the eye of his dreams
Alone, alone, nothing's what it seems
And no, nobody takes his side
And no, nobody saves his life
2,000 years from now
What'll the history tell?
Mankind, disgraced and lost in hell
2,000 years from now
What'll the history show?
Mankind destroyed itself, oh no!
He runs, breaking out of his cover
Shaking free of his chains
Crawls, he falls, motionless again
And so nobody takes his side
And no, nobody saves his life
2,000 years from now
What'll the history tell?
Mankind, disgraced and lost in hell
2,000 years from now
What'll the history show?
Mankind destroyed itself, oh no!
(2,000 years from now)
(What'll the history tell?)
(Mankind, disgraced and lost in hell)
(2,000 years from now)
(What'll the history show?)
(Mankind destroyed itself, oh no!)
(2,000 years from now)
(What'll the history tell?)
(Mankind, disgraced and lost in hell)
(2,000 years from now)
(What'll the history show?)
(Mankind destroyed itself, oh no!)
