In tomorrow i see no promise
and yesterday was like today
Woke up, got up, near eleven oand'clock
butt naked except i was wearing my socks
and thatand's cool, and'cause most the time this floor is cold
stand up and stretch look around this mess
my place has been a cage since she left me
make my way to the kitchen, start the coffee
then dip to the bathroom, begin the triple-s
and wash the previous evening off me
now out the shower, get dry, shove a q-tip in my ear
well, what do we have here?
it appears as if a piece of me has got motivation
ainand't nothinand' wrong with a little morning masturbation
fresh, dressed like fifty cents
clean and awake now iand'm ready to commence
spark up the caffeine and nicotine binge
and thatand's pretty much the pattern of how the day begins
and i write for an hour, maybe half hour more
then put on my shoes and grab my key for the door
put my headphones on for this world i ignore
trek down the street towards the record store
andquot;hey, bro - how you doing, anything new today?andquot;
andquot;nah man, how you been? itand's the same old same againandquot;
well, then iand'll be gone, friend, iand'll see you around
and iand'm out, destination uptown
in the summertime the women wear a lot of skin
and if i sit in one spot i can take and'em all in
sometimes i even talk, to see if i can make one grin
if not, yo, itand's cool i ainand't gonna take it personally
from anne landers, to ani difranco to orphan annie
i love all women, but most of them just canand't stand me
i donand't know, maybe itand's my hair or clothes
andquot;...or maybe she noticed that you was diggin in youand're nose...andquot;
either way itand's okay, i wasnand't tryinand' to get laid
i just wanted to say andquot;i hope you have a great dayandquot;
and then she stopped with a smile that began to blush
andquot;here, take my number, call me up, iand'll come over and make you lunchandquot;
i got up and headed down towards the book store
to check the titles, that my man michaeland's got me lookinand' for
my visit was short, and'cause i just couldnand't feel
that cat behind the counter actinand' like iand'm here to steal
so i dipped back out into a cloud of tattoos
pierced body parts and colorful hairdos
and i questioned, did babylon resemble this?
are we getting any closer to the end of the list?
a sensuous kiss, placed on apoco-lips
we teach them how to make a fist, but not to resist
and iand'm wondering howand'd we find this position
but people are people and i still love and'em, especially the women
onwards to the coffee shop, maybe muddies(?) for a refill and some
sociological studies
see the junkies, while they co-exist with the sobers
all the bugging of eyeballs, the shrugging of shoulders
and thatand's when i saw her, sippinand' on water
i wanna kiss her mom just for having this daughter
excuse me miss, i donand't mean to come across strong
but iand've been waitinand' a while and youand've been taking too long
and she smiled and i began to blush
she asked if iand'd like to go to the bathroom and make some love
and i got visions of us, and the mirror getting steamed
and thatand's the very moment i woke up from the dream
Woke up, got up, near eleven oand'clock
butt naked except i was wearing my socks
and thatand's cool, and'cause most the time this floor is cold
stand up and stretch and look for my soul
In tomorrow i see no promise
and yesterday was like today
In tomorrow i see no promise
and yesterday was like today
In tomorrow i see no promise
and yesterday was like today
In tomorrow i see no promise
and yesterday was like today
