Giving Up Early (On Tomorrow)
Well there's a swinging door that's sometimes open
You can never walk on through
Days in cold, the night's been sold
They got the best of you
I don't care if you fulfill me
I'm happy being hollow
And tonight I'm giving up early
On tomorrow
Crawling in your finer age
On half its normal size
A show with pricks and idiots
You're only happy to oblige
I was caught somewhere between
Jupiter and Apollo
And tonight I'm giving up early
On tomorrow
Why do I suddenly up here?
At this time I am here
Why do I have to talk with a finger comment
Several years ago?
I bet you remember sophomore year
When all the girls came down with stomach flu
And when they nearly disappeared
You said they felt brand new
And I can't hardly believe it
But they had to provide the follow
And tonight I'm giving up early
On tomorrow
Why do I suddenly go blind
Every time we're intertwined?
Why do I refuse to take a solo?
Well I used to count on labor
But now I have to work
Once more into the breach, dear friends
Just like old Dunkirk
And I imagined all the people
But that only filled me with sorrow
And tonight I'm giving up early
On tomorrow
And tonight I'm giving up early
On tomorrow
