That Day
(Lyrics & Music: Poe and Cameron Stone - 1995)


Tomorrow's coming 'round a hairpin curve in the road
She's got a run in her stocking and she's missing the heel of her shoe
Got up this morning rolled out of bed
I spilled a diet coke called my mother said "hi"
What I meant to say was "Why is your life a joke?"

Then I went down to that ugly bar and I clicked my heels 3 times
just like you said and I climbed the road to your empty house
The anticipation was a turn on
But you let me down

'cause I stood on that empty stoop alone
I said "I'm ready for my close up now Mr. Demille"
I waited for the light but it never shone

Well I wonder what you'll do with that expensivepiece of land
That over looks a billion years of history I have a sneaking suspicion you will never understand

Hey maybe I'll see you down by the Rocky & Bullwinkle
And we can talk to that Charlatan Psychic
And she can paint a prettier picture; of your future

'Cause that day
In my life
That day
In my life

I dreamt tomorrow had a prettier face
And, I dreamt tomorrow would have better things to say then,
"you look like shit, what's your problem bitch
your legs feel like sandpaper you can't do anything right"

Well that day
Never should have taken place
'Cause this day in my life, still cannot... Explain...
Why I listened in the first place... To you.

Oh Ya... Something else...

I hope one day you call up your father
And have the guts to tell him how he hurt you
And made you hurt another

'Cause it makes me sad
