about

A song written about Philip J Fry from Futurama, whom I believe to be one of the best protagonists ever written on TV

lyrics

What a lonely man, I projected all my faith in
My face in, I’m chasing the old American dream
What a lonely land, hit the broken road running
I’m stumbling with this desperate need for a team
And you, my solitary friend, I gave up all my time to
I tried to remind you the dangers of being alone
This is not the end, it’s hidden in the sewer
The squalor that used to be my home

And the Rockerfeller Centre, went so high that it went to
The top of the air, oh and I swear I could see it from here
But nowadays the skyline, looks so different from mine
That I will despair, oh when my home, it fills me with fear

She’s a perfect match, some prize catch
And the last thing I’d ask from you is to take her away
This meeting of eyes, this cause of divine inspiration
And I know if we spoke we’d have hours on hours to say
But wait, I’ve got to get in shape, I’ve got to lose my belly
But telly, it tells me I’m never going to win
These commercial dreams are like the mirror I had
And it hasn’t been bad so I think I’ll let them in


And the flat of the iron, wasn’t hot enough for trying
To strike an impression on this Western place
But just like my brother, no different no other
He took the luck of it all to his final resting place

Out in space…

And when we leave, I’ll go to the end of the galaxy
Believe me, this isn’t all it has to be
And world war 3 is just a distant memory
Believe me, this destiny was made for me

What a lonely man, I projected all my faith in
My face in, I’m chasing the old American dream
