Future

***Future*** is a song by Japanese dub/rock group Fishmans. It first appeared on their debut album Chappie, Don't Cry, where it appears as track 6. It is also the longest track on the album by more than 2 minutes, the second longest being ひこうき. It's likely the most straightforward reggae track on the album, a possible result of the band's collaboration with Kazufumi Kodama on the album.

*[CHORUS]*
Future 見えない午後をあなたに
Future 消えそなライトがキラリ
*[VERSE 1]*
忘れた頃にやってくる あなたは未来の王様みたいに
ひとり離れて 浮かんでるよ
ひと言何か 僕に言いたそうに
*[VERSE 2]*
息も切れそうに 走るなら
眠ってた方がましよ スイッチを消してよねえ
*[CHORUS]*
Future 見えない午後をあなたに
Future いらないなんて言うなよ
*[VERSE 3]*
切れない空 ゆれる雲 あなたは未来の王様みたいに
ひとり離れて 浮かんでるよ
ひと言何か 言いたそうに
*[VERSE 4]*
高速回転廻るなら
回転木馬くらいでいいよ スイッチを入れてよねえ
*[CODA]*
そんなFuture...
だれにもかぎられない そんなFuture
だれにも邪魔されない そんなFuture
そんなFuture...
そんな...

*[CHORUS]*
Future, an invisible afternoon for you
Future, a light that's about to go out
*[VERSE 1]*
Like the king of the future, you come along when I forget
I'm floating away, all alone
You're trying to get through to me
*[VERSE 2]*
I feel like I'll run out of breath
I'd rather sleep than keep running. Just turn it off.
*[CHORUS]*
Future, an invisible afternoon for you
Future, don't tell me you don't want it
*[VERSE 3]*
Like the king of the future, unbroken sky, shimmering clouds
I'm floating away, all alone
You're trying to get through to me
*[VERSE 4]*
If you'd like to rotate at a higher speed
Like a carousel, just turn it on.
*[CODA]*
Such a future...
Such a future that can't restrain anyone
Such a future where no one can restrain you
Such a future...
Such a...
