The More You Live, The More You Love
My darling dime store thief
In the War of Independence
Rock 'n' roll rang sweet as victory
Under neon signs
A girl was in bloom
And a woman was fading
In a suburban room
I said take me to the dance
Do you want to dance?
I love to dance
And I told him
They don't take chances
They seem so removed from romance
They've been broken in churches & schools
And molded to middle class circumstance
And we were rollin'
Rollin'
Rock 'n' rollin'
Downtown
The dance halls and cafes
Feel so wild you could break somebody's heart
Tomorrow Is A Harsh Mistress
This is no time or place to wake up
but there are things to do and space to take up
I'm in love with something I dreamed about
I'm in love, but it's not really there
I'm in love with something I said in a prayer.
Tomorrow is a harsh mistress
that I don't want to wake up to.
which I force myself to do
I guess I'm a harsh mistress, too.
I'm what you might call
the once and future nothing at all
I believe in something the cat dragged in
I believe but I think it's a crime
I believe in what tasted all right at the time
Tomorrow is a harsh mistress
but that won't matter anyhow
'cause I stayed in bed all day
who's the harsh mistress now?
Hey yeah, that's right
'cause yesterday took all night
that's right, you bet
yesterday's not over yet.
With each passing day, a world destroyed,
all the things I've worked so hard to avoid
the future's unwritten, so they say
and I'm just trying to keep it that way
OK? OK?
Tomorrow is a harsh mistress
that I don't want to wake up to
which I force myself to do
I guess I'm a harsh mistress, too.
I'm in love with something I dreamed about
I believe but it's not really there.
I'm in love with something I dreamed about
I'm in love but it's not really there.
