It’s Tomorrow Already
Eyes slowly crack. Too much light.
Can’t yet even lift my head.
What am I gonna do with this day?
It’s tomorrow already.
How could I have ever been bored
3 lifetimes wouldn’t be enough
Now can’t even hold my hand steady
It’s tomorrow already.
It’s the 4th quarter.
I’m late to the dance.
There ain’t no do-overs,
Not even a chance.
If I had the time,
How would I change?
That I didn’t see this coming,
Is so very strange.
My Winter has started,
My thoughts so cold.
Who could ever want
To grow gray and old?
Soon I’ll lie down
And take my last rest.
With 10 purple orchids
Laid on my chest.
Better take care of business;
Don’t wind up like me.
This ain’t no siren test,
It’s all that you’ll be.
Take my advice,
Or just simply don’t.
It’s the same given me,
That rolled off my back.
So roll, gently roll,
From one day to the next
It’s all moving fast
Again, it’s no test.
It’s tomorrow already,
Where’d yesterday go?
Time races on and through,
That’s one thing I know.
This is what you’ve got.
Won’t be any more.
Think there’s forever?
Ain’t nothing in store.
So keep eyes and heart open
While you still may
It sneaks right behind you (It runs up behind you),
Your dying day.
So go to the ball.
Ask her to dance
Then give her a call
No second chance. (get in her pants)
It’s tomorrow already
Now is the time
Get it while you got it
Now go on and fly.
All That Glitters
“I’ve got this theory, see, that everything that glitters is gold. People like glittery, shiny, sparkling things. And things that grab attention, entertain, comfort, distract… those things have value. They can be leveraged. So give me enough glitter, Glenn, and I’ll turn it into something that will lull people into malleable little automatons. Where we go from there is another conversation. First things first.”
