===================================================================== Pandora's Box - Original Sin -"The Future Just Ain't What It Used To Be" ===================================================================== --------------------------------------------------------------------- The Future Just Ain't What It Used To Be --------------------------------------------------------------------- I never knew so many bad times Could follow me so mercilessly It's almost surreal All the pain that I feel The future just ain't what it used to be It doesn't matter what they're thinking It doens't matter what they're thinking of me It's always so cold I'm too young to be old The future ain't what it used to be Were there ever any stars in the sky? Did the sun ever shine so bright? Do you have any dreams I could borrow Just to get me through the lonely night? Is there anything left to hold onto When the rivers wash it all away? Is there anyone left to hold onto? Is there anything left I can say? Say a prayer for the falling angels Stem the tide of the rising waters Toll a bell for the broken hearted Burn a torch for your sons and daughters The endless night has got a hold on me Dark days are pulling me forwards And all these tears are washing over me I'm crying. I'm lost forever In a future that ain't what it used to be No more. No more. No more. No more. It's like a storm that's never ending It's like a shadow on the land and the sea There's nothing as sad as a tomorrow gone bad The future ain't what it used to be Some days I feel so numb and empty And those would be the good days for me Nothing gets to me now unless I'm thinking of how The future ain't what it used to be. Is there anything left to hold onto When the rivers wash it all away? Is there anyone left to hold onto? Is there anything left I can say? Say a prayer for the falling angels Stem the tide of the rising waters Toll a bell for the broken hearted Burn a torch for your sons and daughters The endless night has got a hold on me Dark days are pulling me forwards And all these tears are washing over me I'm crying. I'm lost forever In a future that ain't what it used to be No more. No more. No more. No more. The future just ain't what it used to be It's never gonna be like it was The future just ain't what it used to be I wish it wouldn't come I wish it wouldn't come But it always does ---------------------------------------------------------------------
