Someday Lyrics

Wish we lived in New York City

We'd walk to the corner grocery

With your canvas sack and fill it

With items ordinary

And we'd climb back to our studio

Above the sea of people

And I'd pull down our Murphy bed and lie

Next to you and dream

Of moving to the country

And away from everything

But we can't cut out the middle man

You should see The Great White Way

And the magazines will praise us

And the bills will all be paid

Without hte fees and overdrafts

And collector's calls from Hackensack

But all of that's beside the fact that I

Been living on the fray

I'll move you to Manhattan

We'll sleep on cool red satin

It's just down the road

We'll make it there

Someday

Or one day we'll have a palace

In the hills up off of Beachwood

That resembles Cinderella's

When they drew the cells by hand

And you would drive to the big studio

And turn yourself to celuloid

While I played a piano

And serenade Hollywoodland

But i can't get past the even point

The breakin's round the bend

I tend to talk to much about

All of tomorrow's possabilities

They're shutting off the telephone

Next week all the utilities

And my gig's giving up on me

The jig'll be up soon

Ah but what the hell

One day I'll sell

And I'll lasso the moon for you

If you prefer we'll buy in Malibu

It'll all be pocket change

The yard'll turn to water

The trees'll turn to waves

And the sun will set out our back door

Someday

And I'll hang around until you realize

I'm a big bad wolf inside a sheep's disquise

All my promises are dreams conceived in pipes and hypothenticals

Incredible and sensationalized

Designed

To entice you to stay

I'm sure you'll get sick of hearing my voice say

Someday

Someday

Some someday
