Same Time Tomorrow [The Ugly One with the Jewels]

Lyrics
You know that little clock The one on your VCR The one that's always blinking twelve noon 'Cause you never figured out How to get in there and change it? So it's always the same time Just the way it came from the factory Good morning Good night Same time tomorrow We're in record Ooohaaa Ooohaaa So here are the questions Is time long or is it wide? And the answers? Sometimes the answers just come in the mail And one day you get that letter You've been waiting for forever And everything it says is true And then in the last line It says: burn this Ooohaaa Ooohaaa Ooohaaa And I what I really want to know is Are things getting better Or are they getting worse? Stop, stop. Pause, pause. We're in record Because these stories That we have remembered And most of them never even get written down And so when they say things like "We're gonna do this by the book," You have to ask "What book?," Because it would make a big difference If it was Dostoyevsky or just You know, Ivanhoe Ooohaaa Ooohaaa I remember where I came from; There were burning buildings And a fiery red sea I remember all my lovers I remember how they held me Ooohaaa Ooohaaa East, East. The edge of the world West, West. Those who came before me We're in record Ooohaaa Come here little girl Get into the car It's a brand new Cadillac Bright red Come here little girl Ooohaaa Ooohaaa When my father died we put him in the ground When my father died it was Like a whole library had burned down Stop, stop. Pause, pause Ooohaaa Ooohaaa Same time tomorrow And wild beasts shall rest there And owls shall answer one another there And the hairy ones shall dance there And sirens in the temples of pleasure Speak my language Good night
