Beyond Tomorrow Lyrics

We will be driving in little time bombs everywhere
One a seat in a skyscraper with aluminum hair
Therre'll be someone downstairs
Collecting all our names
Numbers all in a file somewhere
Everyone will be saved
CHORUS
Beyond tomorrow, beyond tomorrow
Someone will be in the air
In a plane by the sea
I could be anywhere at all
If I could just be
I'll eat candied policemen
You'll eat farmers fromell
Everyone will be very modern
Can't you tell?...
CHORUS
There could be another one come from the East
With a mark on his head, the sign of the beast
Then we will all extinguish
Fromhis thing we call yeast
Did we come from yest?...
Way back when in a Petri dish
We were mated with some weird kinda fish
Then we grew arms and legs
Now we have 'em alive-no eggs
In a room far away near the capitol
There's a nox that sits on someone's skull
We'll all be waitin' for the word comin' down
Mentime...let's blow this town
CHORUS

DON'T BLAME ME...

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Why are Stan's songs listed, but the words all missing? Why is a great songwriter getting shorted on comments? I am commenting on all of his songs, but I don't have time to post all the words, too.
