Dateline

It’s yet a day, when in fact it’s tomorrow What you’re feeling now, is just the day’s joy and sorrow Your future’s secure though, forever somehow It’s already over, what’s going on now It’s already happened, what’s happening right now When you come over here, you lose a whole day You’ll never get it back until you get back that way Out in the ocean they drew a date line Use your imagination, you can stop time Time stands still when you imagine that line Just imagine it! Well, he’s in some mower, just a few-hour flight From the chicken days in Tongo, but it’s never quite right Always hands the flowers, all of her day But that man up in the morrow, else is just a day ‘Cause when you day to cross the date line, it’s never the day After a while, it’s all a disaster That’s when yesterday starts to feel like the day after You factor in time zones and do all the math And you equit the widow-water dreams down in the bath When I come up, baby, back home there in L.A That’s all already happened, so there’s not a lot to say If I die here in Sydney, I tell her on the phone I can’t redeem the day I lost, and she’ll be all alone I won’t get that day back ‘til they ship my ashes home All my ashes! Remove your wrist watch and clunk your digital clock If you don’t wanna suffer from a temporal shock The future’s secure though, forever somehow It’s already over, what’s going on now It’s already happened, what’s happening right now That’s right, now, it’s already past what’s present right now
