PETER FURLER
"Closer"
(Jimmy Abegg / Peter Furler / John Painter / Steve Taylor)

It's a wrap, it's a lock, it's the future's shock
And it's heading straight for us
Out of nowhere the twist, it's the cosmic kiss
That can recreate us

Oh, oh, oh, oh, something's coming
Oh, oh, oh, oh, something's coming
Oh, oh, oh, oh, don't you want in?
Oh, oh, oh, oh, something's coming

Closer, closer, closer
Lord, it's hard to ignore
Closer, closer, closer
Are you getting ready for?

Little pills make us nice
Shiny toys entice, get us tweaking our resumes
T the cross, I the dot
We completely forgot how to number our days

Oh, oh, oh, oh, something's coming
Oh, oh, oh, oh, something's coming
Oh, oh, oh, oh, don't you want in?
Oh, oh, oh, oh, something's coming

Closer, closer, closer
Lord, it's hard to ignore
Closer, closer, closer
Are you getting ready for?

The future's coming and it's got its own demands
The future's coming but we all have bigger plans
The future's coming and it's got its own demands
The future's coming but we all have bigger plans

Another plague, another war
And the earth shakes some more
Then we're back to sleeping late
Somebody's knockin'
My Lord's got His foot in the door
Wish we'd all been ready for

Oh, oh, oh, oh, something's coming
Oh, oh, oh, oh, something's coming
Oh, oh, oh, oh, don't you want in?
Oh, oh, oh, oh, something's coming

The future's coming and it's got its own demands
The future's coming but we all have bigger plans
The future's coming and it's got its own demands
The future's coming, are you getting ready for?
