Millennium Bug

Cold blue eyes of the autumn crows
Neck patch fat with the seeds we sow
Only alive for one perfect day
Dither me down till I'm ones and a zero
Wings still drying just a second ago
So did I ever fly? Well, I just don't know
Pinch my arm just to see if I'm dreaming
I think maybe I am more lost than I've been seeming

I like my meals with that confidence
That what I'm really eating isn't ones and a zero
Used to be you could only keep what you could hold
Now everything's for everyone or no one at all

And all of my precious memories
Are somewhere in a cloud, they're apart from me
And all of my precious memories
Are somewhere in a cloud, they're apart from me

So maybe the world really did end
Right back there at the millennium's end
And none of this ever happened
So maybe this never happened
But I can't believe that it's true
That it won't be me who's remembering you

I remember when I couldn't find out a thing about you
I remember finding paper for a note so I could write you
Write you something precious you may wish to remember

Now there's islands in the ocean made entirely of the future
Or maybe we'll emerge from this coded chrysalis
Or maybe there's already no one to remember this

And all of my precious memories
Are somewhere in a cloud, they're apart from me
And all of my precious memories
Are somewhere in a cloud, they're apart from me

So maybe the world really did end
Right back there at the millennium's end
Maybe this never happened
So maybe this never happened
But I can't believe that it's true
That it won't be me who's remembering you
