Tomorrow We'll See

The streets are wet The lights have yet To shed their tawdry lustre on the scene My skirt's too short My tights have run These new heels are killing me My second pack of cigarettes It's a slow night but there's time yet Here comes John from his other life He may be driving to his wife But he'll slow down take a look I've learned to read them just like books And it's already half past ten But they'll be back again Headlights in the rainy street I check, make sure it's not the heat I wink, I smile, I wave my hand He stops and seems to understand The small transaction we must make I tell him that my heart will break If he's not a generous man I step into his van They say the first is the hardest trick And after that it's just a matter of logic They have the money I have the time Being pretty's my only crime You ask what future do I see I say it's really up to me I don't need forgiving I'm just making a living Don't judge me You could be me in another life In another set of circumstances Don't judge me One more night I'll just have to take my chances And tomorrow we'll see A friend of mine he wound up dead His dress was stained the colour red No next of kin no fixed abode Another victim on this road The police just carted him away But someone took his place next day He was home by thanksgiving But not with the living Don't judge me You could be me in another life In another set of circumstances Don't judge me One more night I'll just have to take my chances And no it's just not in my plan For someone to care who I am I'm walking the streets for money It's the business of love, 'hey honey' C'mon, don't leave me lonely, don't leave me sad It'll be the sweetest five minutes you ever had Don't judge me You could be me in another life In another set of circumstances Don't judge me One more night I'll just have to take my chances And tomorrow we'll see
