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
