10,000 Years lyrics

When I was only a kid, I hid in the pyramids
Archeologists came so I just changed my name
I had years still to go, they were moving too slow
I was here from the start, now it s the end of the show
Forever, I never thought that this day would come
She s been my everything, not anything or anyone
Could kill the time and wait in line for a sign
Textbooks they don t mention me, forgotten over centuries

Last call that s on me, here s to eternity

10,000 years, now she s finally here
If the words come out wrong, I ll disappear

Now that I m older than sin
I think the heavens caught wind
They send a postcard from home
They wanna throw me back in
But I am Omega Man, I am out on the lam
I think it s well understood that they don t understand
Me, myself, and I, we re hiding out in history
A specific hieroglyphic message sent to me
To kill the time, wait in line, for a sign
Final hour, nevermore, tonight s the night I ve waited for

Last call that s on me, here s to eternity
And I know she s right for me, just the wrong century

10,000 years, now she s finally here
If the words come out wrong, I ll disappear
To the stars in the sky shining down on the girl
From the beginning of time, till the end of the world
