Tomorrow's Junk

The clock strikes 6
but the hands stick a little
and I'm always late (late again)

You say, 'today is the day for change
A new watch awaits'.
You trust the hands of time
I'm in the arms of fate.


Like a fool
I've traded in the old for the new
like a fool
I made my final stand
out on the street
with an old phonograph, a black and white screen and a used paperback
I know if I stayed
I'd end up here one day
sharing the curb with a worn out trunk

Tomorrow's Junk


You've become possessed
by your possessions
and you grow tired

The empty hole
in your soul grows wider
What have you acquired?
scarcely more than kindling for the fire

Like a fool
I've traded in the old for the new
like a fool
I made my final stand
out on the street
with an old phonograph, a black and white screen and a used paperback
I know if I stayed
I'd end up here one day
sharing the curb with a worn out trunk

Tomorrow's Junk


Like a fool
I've traded in the old for the new
like a fool
I made my final stand
out on the street
with an old phonograph, a black and white screen and a used paperback
I know if I stayed
I'd end up here one day

Like a radio that still longs to play
A dog eared book with the underlined phrase
sharing the curb with a worn out trunk

Tomorrow's Junk
