10,000 Years

Army of Freshmen

When I was only a kid, I hid in the pyramids
Archeologists came so I just changed my name
I had years still to go, they were moving too slow
I was here from the start, now it's the end of the show
Forever, I never thought that this day would come
She's been my everything, not anything or anyone
Could kill the time and wait in line for a sign
Textbooks they don't mention me, forgotten over centuries

Last call that's on me, here's to eternity

10,000 years, now she's finally here
If the words come out wrong, I'll disappear

Now that I'm older than sin
I think the heavens caught wind
They send a postcard from home
They wanna throw me back in
But I am Omega Man, I am out on the lam
I think it's well understood that they don't understand
Me, myself, and I, we're hiding out in history
A specific hieroglyphic message sent to me
To kill the time, wait in line, for a sign
Final hour, nevermore, tonight's the night I've waited for

Last call that's on me, here's to eternity
And I know she's right for me, just the wrong century

10,000 years, now she's finally here
If the words come out wrong, I'll disappear
To the stars in the sky shining down on the girl
From the beginning of time, till the end of the world
