Now Forever

Every day, I greet the sun

And make a promise that I can't keep

Led astray, I've had my fun

But don't it feel like a waking dream?

You're gonna get what you want

You're gonna take what you need

Don't bat your little lashes

When you're making a meal out of me

The past was just beginning

Somehow the future never comes

Now forever!

Now forever!

Now forever!

Now forever!

Every day you beat my drum

Like it's the end of the Pleistocene

I could be Bathsheba's son

If I remembered to count my teeth

We watched the effigy fade

Before the fall of the state

And she dances in the ashes

While they're putting our regret in a grave

The past was just invented

No doubt, the future never comes

Now forever!

Now forever!

Now forever!

Now forever!

You'll never happen again

(Now is forever and now is forever and now is forever and...)

You'll never happen again

And when I lose my splendour

Return me to my sender

The past is young and tender

Don't wait! The future never comes!

Now forever!
