Shape of Things to Come Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Magic, logic
The system works, but not for me
Look beyond the nearest moment
And you'll see
The shape of things to come

[Verse 2]
Somewhere deep in the city
I can feel you, I know you're here
Baby, I'm just a pussy-cat (Pussy-cat)
But not the one that you should fear

[Chorus]
(One, two) Always love you
(One, two) Move up above you
(Two, two) Right in the face
I'll be "Yes, sir", I'll be "No, sir", three bags full so
(The shape of things to come)
The shape of things to come

[Post-Chorus]
Let me get you outta here

[Verse 3]
Tragic, logic
The system hurts, but not for me
I look beyond the farest moment
And I say
The shape of things to come
[Bridge]
(The shape of things to come)
The shape of things to come
(The shape of things to come)
(The shape of things to come)
(The shape of things to come)
(The shape of things to come)

[Verse 3]
Somewhere deep in the system
I can see you but you're not clear
A simple case of error correction
Come on baby, get your ass in gear

[Chorus]
(One, two) Always love you
(One, two) Move up above you
(Two, two) Right in the face
I'll be "Yes, sir", I'll be "No, sir", three bags full so
(The shape of things to come)

[Post-Chorus]
Let me get your outta here

[Outro]
(The shape of things to come)
Look into my eyes and I'll make your day
(The shape of things to come)
Good things, great things, all just same things
(The shape of things to come)
(The shape of things to come)
Your way, my way, it's always hard way
(The shape of things to come)
(The shape of things to come)

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
