5000 Miles West Of The Future

[Verse 1: Mike Ladd]
Went back to the mountaintop the other day
Saw one hundred prophets there
Hid behind the rock and prayed
To all the quiet ones
It’s come and gone like California fires
All praises be to the survivors
All those who ride the heavy lows

[Hook]
I’m 5000 miles west of my future
Where’s my floating car, my utopia?
My Mars colonies, like it’s supposed to be?
Space 1999
I’m 5000 miles west of my future
So where’s my floating car, my utopia?
My Mars colonies, like it’s supposed to be?
It’s here, 2029

[Verse 2: Mike Ladd]
Watching an imposter on TV
Thanking Jesus for this last dial
Stepchild, this god don’t love ugly
Then we break the ice
She make love to me, she ain’t pretty
If the shaky shaky like youse asleep
Your beauty slipped on his vanity homes

[Hook]
I’m 5000 miles west of my future
Where’s my floating car, my utopia?
My Mars colonies, like it’s supposed to be?
Space 1999
I’m 5000 miles west of my future
Where’s my floating car, my utopia?
My Mars colonies, like it’s supposed to be?
Space, 1999

[Spoken Interlude]
I’m gonna steal from the thorn merchant for the cinnamon peeler’s wife, like I was bedding down with Isis, pop my bunks after a night of this. We going through all of this crisis so far, so give the intuitionist a kiss, so roll on. Most roll on

[Verse 3: Mike Ladd]
I’m waiting on a gunner in the parking lot
These goldfish know jujitsu, better watch yourself
1773, Boston’s rocking with me
We still knocking weekly
Up in these bunks, on the last concourse
So before you, before you wet your foogle
Know we ain’t mad at you, take it easy

[Hook]
I’m 5000 miles west of my future
Where’s my floating car, my utopia?
My Mars colonies, like it’s supposed to be?
I’m 5000 miles west of my future
Where’s my floating car, my utopia?
My Mars colonies, like it’s supposed to be?
Space 1999
