In tomorrow I see no promise
and yesterday was like today
Woke up, got up, near eleven o`clock
butt naked except I was wearing my socks
and that`s cool, `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
ain`t nothin` wrong with a little morning masturbation
fresh, dressed like fifty cents
clean and awake now I`m ready to commence
spark up the caffeine and nicotine binge
and that`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
hey, bro - how you doing, anything new today?
nah man, how you been? it`s the same old same again
well, then I`ll be gone, friend, I`ll see you around
and I`m out, destination uptown
in the summertime the women wear a lot of skin
and if I sit in one spot I can take `em all in
sometimes I even talk, to see if I can make one grin
if not, yo, it`s cool I ain`t gonna take it personally
from Anne Landers, to Ani DiFranco to Orphan Annie
I love all women, but most of them just can`t stand me
I don`t know, maybe it`s my hair or clothes
...or maybe she noticed that you was diggin in you`re nose...
either way it`s okay, I wasn`t tryin` to get laid
I just wanted to say I hope you have a great day
and then she stopped with a smile that began to blush
here, take my number, call me up, I`ll come over and make you lunch
I got up and headed down towards the book store
to check the titles, that my man Michael`s got me lookin` for
my visit was short, `cause I just couldn`t feel
that cat behind the counter actin` like I`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 I`m wondering how`d we find this position
but people are people and I still love `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 that`s when I saw her, sippin` on water
I wanna kiss her mom just for having this daughter
excuse me miss, I don`t mean to come across strong
but I`ve been waitin` a while and you`ve been taking too long
and she smiled and I began to blush
she asked if I`d like to go to the bathroom and make some love
and I got visions of us, and the mirror getting steamed
and that`s the very moment I woke up from the dream
Woke up, got up, near eleven o`clock
butt naked except I was wearing my socks
and that`s cool, `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
