slide on a screen
 
look into the future, look into the future and tell me what you see
focus on the picture, it's a puzzle in 3D
 
i think i saw a whole year, i think i saw a whole year pass before my eyes
i gave it a blank stare, did i look surprised?
 
yesterday has to go where no-one can follow
even though it looks just like tomorrow
 
i wonder can you see me? 
i'm flashing like a photo machine
i hope you remember me
i'm slipping like a slide on a screen
 
i'm retracing my steps, i'm retracing my steps just to pass the time
i make a really nice mess out of intersecting lines
 
in case i need it later, in case i need it later i guess i'll write it down
i'm a bunch of scraps of paper in a capsule underground
 
yesterday wandered off and now it can't find you
i guess that's why you keep looking behind you
 
i wonder can you see me? 
i'm flashing like a photo machine
i hope you remember me
i'm slipping like a slide on a screen
 
wish it on an eyelash, wish it on an eyelash and see if it comes true
i'll ask a magic eight ball to tell me what to do.
 
i wonder can you see me? 
i'm flashing like a photo machine
i hope you remember me
i'm slipping like a slide on a screen
