Year of Tomorrow

lyrics

Welcome to the year of tomorrow. In need of a home world you got one i could borrow? My ship has crash landed again amidst what appears to be a ghost town, half drown in the mud "great" i thought "now I'm stuck". Cold and hungry i went in seek of shelter and what I wouldn't give for some hamburger helper. Alas earth is but a distant memory swimming in a sea of solar systems filled with a myriad of entities. I found a forgotten trial stubbled with overgrowth. The look was eerie but like obi-wan it was my only hope. Off I went towards what looked like an abandoned tent city. I found a jacket on the ground, a little dusty but a perfect fit. I heard a sound, it seemed to come from over there near that cave entrance and right before it stood a statue of a man named Jane or so I was told by the writing engraved. Then I heard something behind me. Then I felt some pain. Then I fell to the ground from a damaged brain. When I awoke I found myself in a cell. In trouble again I put my hands in my jacket pockets where I found some metal pieces I quickly fashioned into lock picks. Then out I went like an unhappy tenant but in the hallway there was an awful scent like how a sunny day ruins a half drank carton to two percent. Down the hall i saw my captor hunched over his dinner plate looking like a big, cyborg ogre. I tried to roll a death blow but hit his shoulder like a slip up. Then he started bleeding milk like when alien met bishop. Let me pause right there to tell you that was really gross then unpause to tell you we fought and he didn't die from natural causes. Not wanting to be discovered I hid his body in a closet. So far my plan is going flawless. Staying low I crept toward the faint glow from down the corridor and when I got to the entry way I saw a huge cave full of all sorts of slaves like a display of every type of alien race. The slave drivers to me, just a set back. Their leader overseeing from above? I don't sweat that cause on the other side of the room I found a jet pack. I looked back and thats when I saw her...she was a shooting star in a city with no sky. I couldn't tell you why but I had to save her so I grabbed by the wrist like it was fate then hit the button that released the shock collars on all the slaves. A perfect distraction while we made our escape. We stole a space cruiser and headed to the closest planet and that where we parted ways. Before she left I asked her name...she said "it was nice to meet you....I hope we meet again...."... Hope we meet again... really hope we meet again...
