lyrics

We ain't got flying cars yet, but I've been told they're coming any time.
With our cruise ships and our jumbo jets it seems like we can get around just fine.
Yeah, this whole world has gotten so gosh darn small we can wrap ourselves around it like we're twine.
What a strange time to be alive.
What a strange time to be alive.

Remember when the Internet took seven steps and a telephone line?
Now I'm browsing at a thousand miles and hour while on the highway going sixty-five.
And the threads of this web just stretch and stretch oh I can't tell if I'm spider or I'm fly.
What a strange time to be alive.
What a strange time to be alive.

Studies say our cities by the sea may some day soon be swallowed by the tides.
Consequently, a wave of guild floods over me each time I force an engine to ignite.
Yeah but I'm not certain that reversin' course works and so I order another black tea with polar cap ice.
What a strange time to be alive.
What a strange time to be alive.
