No Common Future

I’m outta time
I’m outta touch
Maybe I just want too much
Am I goin blind?
Will we turn to dust?
Is it all a waste of time?

I look at us and what a sight
I see myself in a strange new light
And though you say
We’re gonna be alright
Is it all inside your mind?

What’s in the past is in the past
And I don’t need no looking glass
To tell me that we’re sinking fast
They’ll be no common future
No common future

Now I’ve been down this road before
Don’t wanna walk this road no more
One foot in – one foot out the door
Till I made my baby cry

But I can’t help the way I fear
I fall apart when you get too near
I cry a naked cry for the world to hear
And I sigh a lonely sigh

No fancy footwork needed here
The furies have spoken – they say have no fear
It’s plain as rain – it’s crystal clear
They’ll be no common future
No common future

One day you wake up and you’ve got it all
Next thing you’re strugglin
Like a flower in uncertain soil
And there’s no common future
They’ll be no common future
