Draw the C curtain, look, you’re only sleeping
Or is this C only what the other you is dreaming?
Either F way, hard to C take

Ashen F#dim features unmistakably your Fm own
Familiar C posture, recast in skin and D7 bone
Person Dm7 from today, here is Fm you in twenty eighty C two

Remove your C helmet, first equalize the pressure
No, but C first, take readings to be sure
The atmosphere is F safe, yes, it’s C safe

As the F#dim ancient one cranes his neck to Fm look
You see his C hand’s been replaced with a D7 hook
But it’s Dm7 clear you’re very much a-Fm live, it’s twenty one o C five

No, it’s twenty two Eb forty
No, it’s thirty four fif-G# teen
How can you still be D7 living?
What does this D7 mean? G7

You must C honor and respect the older fellow
Even C as you suffocate him with his pillow
Though you’re F strong… He was C wise

There is F#dim much you can learn from the Fm sage
And though you’ll C leave and travel back to your own D7 age
You will Dm7 meet again, you Fm two in twenty eighty C two D7

What was the F#dim look he gave intended to con-Fm vey?
Was there C something else he was trying to D7 say?
It will Dm7 all be revealed to Fm you in twenty eighty C two
