I've been waiting for the flying cars Their spreading wings, their hovering To lift me up and float me away Through clouds and air to anywhere I am through listening All the prophets hate me And all their fortunes miss the mark I wanted something faster to get me somewhere faster But now there's nowhere left to go I've been killing time I can't think why The moving sidewalks have not arrived When there's demand, where there'd be need But here we are with tired feet I am through listening All the prophets hate me And all their fortunes miss the mark I wanted something faster to get me somewhere faster But now there's nowhere left to go Has it been better or worse than you predicted? A little of both, a little of both I sit at home and it's not me who swoops out It's the world who comes and swoops in on me
