There are really catchy verses out there. One of them is Connect the dots by Ayreon (sadly it’s not available on Last.fm yet—i hope it will be). And what makes it even better: the singer here is no one else than Ty Tabor of my much-loved band King’s X. This makes the lyrics sound even more authentic, seeing the problems King’s X songs are about.
I hugged the wife and drove to work today
It was only a few miles
Was in a hurry but the lights were changing up ahead
So I stepped on the gas
I checked the web and left it on over night
Downloading all the latest files
Fear, revere, the torrent flows into my lap
And I disconnect
We all know no need to remind us
We all know we won’t connect the dots
We all know locked away inside us
We are dying for tomorrow
We are living for today
I rushed back home to my family
I got my son a brand new game
No need to cook, I picked up fast food on the way
And it’s finger-licking good
Have you seen little Steve today
Guess he’s still up there in his room
But if he comes down to
I’ll be right here just staring at the tune
Playing his game
We all know no need to remind us
We all know we won’t connect the dots
We all know locked away inside us
We are dying for tomorrow
We are living for today
Don’t you think it’s rather warm tonight
Especially for the time of year
I turn up the air pull the sheets up to my chin
And I close my eyes
Can’t relax, can’t fall asleep
Should I take another pill?
I turn up the lights, light up a cigarette and smile
I’ve got it made
We all know no need to remind us
We all know we won’t connect the dots
We all know locked away inside us
We are dying for tomorrow
We are living for today
