Like Today lyrics

In tomorrow I see no promise
and yesterday was like today

Woke up, got up, near eleven o clock
butt naked except I was wearing my socks
and that s cool, cause most the time this floor is cold
stand up and stretch look around this mess
my place has been a cage since she left me
make my way to the kitchen, start the coffee
then dip to the bathroom, begin the triple-s
and wash the previous evening off me
now out the shower, get dry, shove a q-tip in my ear
well, what do we have here?
it appears as if a piece of me has got motivation
ain t nothin wrong with a little morning masturbation
fresh, dressed like fifty cents
clean and awake now I m ready to commence
spark up the caffeine and nicotine binge
and that s pretty much the pattern of how the day begins
and I write for an hour, maybe half hour more
then put on my shoes and grab my key for the door
put my headphones on for this world I ignore
trek down the street towards the record store
"hey, bro - how you doing, anything new today?"
"nah man, how you been? it s the same old same again"
well, then I ll be gone, friend, I ll see you around
then I m out, destination uptown
in the summertime the women wear a lot of skin
and if I sit in one spot I can take em all in
sometimes I even talk, to see if I can make one grin
if not, yo, it s cool I ain t gonna take it personally
from Anne Landers, to Ani DiFranco to Orphan Annie
I love all women, but most of them just can t stand me
I don t know, maybe it s my hair or my clothes
"...or maybe she noticed that you was diggin in you re nose..."
either way it s okay, I wasn t tryin to get laid
I just wanted to say "I hope you have a great day"
and then she stopped with a smile that began to blush
"here, take my number, call me up, I ll come over and make you lunch"
I got up and headed down towards the book store
to check the titles, that my man Michael s got me lookin for
my visit was short, cause I just couldn t feel
that cat behind the counter actin like I m here to steal
so I dipped back out into a cloud of tattoos
pierced body parts and colorful hairdos
and I questioned, did Babylon resemble this?
are we getting any closer to the end of the list?
a sensuous kiss, placed on apoco-lips
we teach them how to make a fist, but not to resist
and I m wondering how d we find this position
but people are people and I still love em, especially the women
onwards to the coffee shop, maybe Muddies for a refill and some
sociological studies
see the junkies, while they co-exist with the sobers
all the bugging of eyeballs, the shrugging of shoulders
and that s when I saw her, sippin on water
I wanna kiss her mom just for having this daughter
excuse me miss, I don t mean to come across strong
but I ve been waitin a while and you ve been taking too long
and she smiled and I began to blush
she asked if I d like to go to the bathroom and make some love
and I got visions of us, and the mirror getting steamed
and that s the very moment I woke up from the dream

Woke up, got up, near eleven o clock
butt naked except I was wearing my socks
and that s cool, cause most the time this floor is cold
stand up and stretch and look for my soul

In tomorrow I see no promise
and yesterday was like today

In tomorrow I see no promise
and yesterday was like today

In tomorrow I see no promise
and yesterday was like today

In tomorrow I see no promise
and yesterday was like today
