Tomorrow We'll See
The streets are wet The lights have yet To shed their tawdry lustre on the scene My skirtÕs too short My tights have run These new heels are killing me
My second pack of cigarettes ItÕs a slow night but thereÕs time yet Here comes john from his other life He may be driving to his wife But he'll slow down take a look IÕve learned to read them just like books And itÕs already half past ten But theyÕll be back again
Headlights in the rainy street I check, make sure itÕs not the heat I wink, I smile, I wave my hand He stops and seems to understand The small transaction we must make I tell him that my heart will break If heÕs not a generous man I step into his van
The say the first is the hardest trick After that itÕs just a matter of logic They have the money I have the time Being pretty's my only crime You ask what future do I see I say itÕs really up to me I donÕt need forgiving IÕm just making a living
DonÕt judge me You could be me in another life In another set of circumstances DonÕt judge me One more night IÕll just have to take my chances And tomorrow weÕll see
A friend of mine he wound up dead His dress was stained the colour red No next of kin no fixed abode Another victim on this road The police just carted him away But someone took his place next day He was home by thanksgiving But not with the living
DonÕt judge me You could be me in another life In another set of circumstances DonÕt judge me One more night IÕll just have to take my chances
And no itÕs just not in my plan For someone to care who I am
I'm walking the streets for money ItÕs the business of love, 'hey honey' C'mon, donÕt leave me lonely, donÕt leave me sad ItÕll be the sweetest five minutes you ever had
DonÕt judge me You could be me in another life In another set of circumstances DonÕt judge me One more night IÕll just have to take my chances And tomorrow weÕll see |
