The Future - The Rentals

Two cities on top of each other sleep

in the stillness of night

Down in the 2nd Street tunnel lost in

a thousand reflecting lights

There was a civilization that built

these buildings with pride

They left the city abandoned

Who knows how the dream of the future died

There must be some hope in the future

This is the story of all that was beautiful

and true

This is the ending of all that was sleeping

inside you

And it's the start of something new

This is the story of all that was beautiful

and true

This is the ending of all that was sleeping

inside you

And it's the start of something new

Down in the 2nd Street tunnel a

dream of the future appears

There are these voices around me

That want to know what I'm doing here

In the future
