THIS IS TOMORROW
(Bryan Ferry)
Bryan Ferry


Here in the hush of evenin'
On a night in June
Overhearin' conversations
Bayin' at the moon
Suddenly a voice I'm hearin's
Sweet to my ear
This is tomorrow callin'
Wishin' you were here

Layin' in my motel bedroom
Feelin' ceilin' blues
Wall to wall a TV's twitchin'
Clearly not a muse
Then flashin' through the interference
Beams a thousand tunes
This is tomorrow callin'
What have I to lose

Truckin' by the railway station
I'm on the road again
Steerin' clear of all temptation
Unto the point of pain
When steamin'  thru on cue
I hear that wailin' whistle blow
If this is tomorrow callin'
Oh what a way to go!

Day to day you live old fashioned
Hi-toned,fancy free
A double take,on image-spittin'
Tailored to a T
While history is tellin' you
The same old thing
This is tomorrow callin'
Let's stick a new oar in
This is tomorrow callin'
Y'all 'n
Come on in.
