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 pa**ing 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.
