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.
