A fire crackles at my feet
The kids are playing peacefully
On my seven million dollar Persian rug
They're toasting marshmallows on twigs
And when they're golden brown
They bring them over here for me to eat
Don't tell me it's over
Don't tell me it's over
Don't tell me it's over so soon
My supermodel wife looks lovingly at me
She just signed a publishing deal, she's the next Harper Lee
My Oscars twinkle and gleam
My phone wont stop buzzing
Everybody wants to hear from me
Don't tell me it's over
Don't tell me it's over
Don't tell me it's over so soon
Then in my wife's eyes I begin to see
Pixellation spreading out as she starts to lag and flicker
My baby boy glitches over to me
Says, Daddy I
Don't tell me it's over
Don't tell me it's over
Don't tell me it's over so soon
I stare down at my feet
Standing on the holodeck, surrounded by projectors
I walk back along the passageway to see
The astronauts frozen in their cryogenic pods
Their vital signs still look fine to me
So I pick up the broom and do a lap
Open the chute, eject the trash
And stare out at the passing galaxy
Everything seems so quiet out there
Everything is so quiet in here
Only 14 years of this
Only 14 years of this
Only 14 years of this to go
Tell me it's over
Please tell me it's over
Can't it be over soon
