TOMORROW, WENDY
by Johnette Napolitano
It is complete now
Two ends of time are neatly tied
A one-way street
She's walking to the end of the line
And there she meets
the faces she keeps
In her heart and mind
They say
"Goodbye...
Tomorrow, Wendy you're going to die."
Underneath the chilly grey November sky
We can make believe that Kennedy is still alive and...
We're shooting for the moon
And smiling
Jackie's driving by and...
They say
"Good try"
Tomorrow, Wendy is going to die...
I told the priest
Don't count on any second coming
God got his ass kicked
The first time he came down here slumming
He had the balls to come,
The gall to die
And then forgive us
No I don't wonder why
I wonder what he thought it would get us?
Hey, hey
Goodbye
Tomorrow, Wendy is going to cry...
Only God says "jump"
So I say, "in good time"*
'Cause if He ever saw it,
It was through these eyes of mine,
And if he ever suffered
It was me who did His crying!
Hey, hey
Goodbye
Tomorrow Wendy is going to die...
