Floating in the Water
by Boffo Yux Dudes

(Current man)

In hundreds of years, Who will be here?
See through the strife - survive all the fears?
I’ll send out a bottle with a message inside
and then let the tide - show the future we tried

What should I say? Hello - hey it's me?
A long dead member on your family tree?
Things here are crazy - hope you read this
and you've somehow come crawling back from the abyss

Chorus

Floating in the water, words from the past
500 years gone since this line was cast
Comes here and now - a Time and a Space
Will we keep running the Human Race?

(Future man)

The Sun is so warm - hot wind on my face
I’m the last man standing of the human race
The fish are all dead, the birds stopped their songs
There’s no point in singing if the world is all gone

But what is that bobbing - alone in the sea?
A shiny floating treasure - headed straight to me?
Shocked out of my stupor I do something rash
Wade into the surf while avoiding the trash

I grab at the bauble as it floats in the flow
A bottle whose message dissolved long ago
It’s not glass or metal, has lived or died
It’s made out of plastic- that’s all that survived....

Chorus

Floating in the water, words from the past
500 years gone since this line was cast
Comes here and now - a Time and a Space
Will we keep running the Human Race?

Floating in the water, words from the past
500 years gone since this line was cast
Comes here and now - a Time and a Space
Will we keep running the Human Race?

Floating in the water, words from the past
500 years gone since this line was cast
Comes here and now - a Time and a Space
Will we keep running the Human Race?
