This Is Tomorrow Songtext
von 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 hotel 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' through 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, an 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
