Like Today

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 mornin' 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 I 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 doin', 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"
 Then 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
 And 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 (all women), but most of them just can't stand me
 I don't know, maybe it's my hair or my clothes
 (Or maybe she noticed that you was diggin' in your 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 gettin' any closer to the end of the list?
 A sensuous kiss, placed on apocalypse
 We teach them how to make a fist, but not to resist
 And I'm wonderin' 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
