i obviously don't have enough to keep me busy
..or it could be that the more i have to do, the more my brain thinks about things that have nothing at all to do with what i -should- be doing.
I Can't Get Close To You (various artists)
I can turn your gray sky blue
--weather control exists, yes. it's not economically feasible enough to be wide spread yet, but it exists--
I could make it rain whenever I wanted to
--doesn't that result from salting clouds?--
I can build a castle from a single grain of sand
--seriously, look at a grain of sand under electron microscope--each grain is its own castle--
I can make a ship sail on dry land
-- land sailing, give me a hard one--
But my life is incomplete and I'm so blue
'Cause I can't get next to you
Next to you, I just can't get next to you
I can fly like a bird in the sky
--airplanes, hanglider, ultralites--
Hey, and I can buy anything that money can buy
--ok, that one is obvious.--
I can turn a river into a raging fire
--naptha, anyone? (it floats)--
I could live forever if I so desired
--cryanogenics, reproduction, become famous/infamous--depends on how you want to define "live"--
Unimportant are all these things I can do
'Cause I can't get next to you
No matter what I do
I can turn back the hands of time
--retro!--
You'd better believe I can
I can make the seasons change
--back to the vagaries of weather controling impliments--
Just by a wave of my hand
I can change anything from old to new
--oh the power of the fashionistas--
The thing I want to do the most I'm unable to do
Unhappy am I with all the powers I possess
'Cause girl, you're the key to my happiness
And I, wo, I can't get next to you
Girl, you're blowin' my mind 'cause I can't get (next to you)
Can't you see these tears I'm cryin'? I can't get (next to you)
Girl, it's you that I need; I gotta get (next to you)
