| This is no time or place to wake up
|
| But there are things to do and space to take up
|
| I’m in love with something I dreamed about
|
| I’m in love, but it’s not really there
|
| I’m in love with something I said in a prayer
|
| Tomorrow is a harsh mistress
|
| That I don’t want to wake up to
|
| Which I force myself to do
|
| I guess I’m a harsh mistress, too
|
| I’m what you might call
|
| The once and future nothing at all
|
| I believe in something the cat dragged in
|
| I believe but I think it’s a crime
|
| I believe in what tasted all right at the time
|
| Tomorrow is a harsh mistress
|
| But that won’t matter anyhow
|
| 'cause I stayed in bed all day
|
| Who’s the harsh mistress now?
|
| Hey yeah, that’s right
|
| 'cause yesterday took all night
|
| That’s right, you bet
|
| Yesterday’s not over yet
|
| With each passing day, a world destroyed
|
| All the things I’ve worked so hard to avoid
|
| The future’s unwritten, so they say
|
| And I’m just trying to keep it that way
|
| OK? |
| OK?
|
| Tomorrow is a harsh mistress
|
| That I don’t want to wake up to
|
| Which I force myself to do
|
| I guess I’m a harsh mistress, too
|
| I’m in love with something I dreamed about
|
| I believe but it’s not really there
|
| I’m in love with something I dreamed about
|
| I’m in love but it’s not really there |
