Tomorrow's Girls

Donald Fagen


Our town is just like any other 
Good citizens at work and play 
Normal folks doin' business in the normal way 
This morning was like any other 
Mommies kissing daddies goodbye 
Then the milkman screamed 
And pointed up at the sky 

Chorus: 
From Sheilus to the reefs of Kizmar 
From Stargate and the Outer Worlds 
They're speeding towards our sun 
They're on a party run 
Here come Tomorrow's Girls 
Tomorrow's Girls 

You see them on the grass at lunch hour 
Soaking up the vertical rays 
In their summer dresses 
A little smile can really make your day 
Their kisses feel like real kisses 
And when they cry they cry real tears 
But what's left in your arms 
When the static clears 

Chorus: 
They're landing on the Jersey beaches 
Their engines make the white sand swirl 
The heat is so intense 
Earth men have no defense 
Against Tomorrow's Girls 

In the cool of the evening 
In the last light of the triple sun 
I wait by the go-tree 
When the day's busy work is done 
Soon the warm night breezes 
Start rolling in off the sea 
Yes, at lantern time 
That's when you come to me 
Come to me 

Our home is just like any other 
We're grillin' burgers on the back lawn 
Some time goes by 
We fall asleep with the TV on 
I dream about a laughing angel 
Then the laugh becomes a furious whine 
Look out fellas 
It's shredding time 

Chorus: 
They're mixing with the population 
A virus wearing pumps and pearls 
Lord help the lonely guys 
Hooked by those hungry eyes 
Here come Tomorrow's Girls 
Tomorrow's Girls 

Chorus: 
From Sheilus to the reefs of Kizmar 
From Stargate and the Outer Worlds 
They're speeding towards our sun 
They're on a party run 
Here come Tomorrow's Girls
