[Verse 1]

I see the hands write on the wall

I hear the voice say listen carefully

You've got no time, changes come soon

You’ve got no time, just can't be secure

There's not much use if you only live now

Don’t be so sure in the here and now

I toss and turn and try to awake

I crash and burn for fear I'll be late

To overcome is to stay on your guard

But it's so hard when I'm dreaming of tomorrow

[Verse 2]

Joystick fire-button computer talk

Played like a game this future shock

Don't be so sure in the here and now

There's not much use if you only live now

I toss and turn and try to awake

I crash and burn for fear I'll be late

To overcome is to stay on your guard

Thief in the night, coming soon, coming soon

[Chorus]

I dream of tomorrow

I dream of tomorrow

[Verse 3]

I see the hands write on the wall

I hear the voice say listen carefully

You've got no time, changes come soon

You’ve got no time, just can’t be secure

You've got to stop, right now, and take some time

You’ve got to stop, right now, to learn your lines

I toss and turn and try to awake

I crash and burn for fear I'll be late

To overcome is to stay on your guard

Thief in the night, coming soon, coming soon

[Chorus]

I dream of tomorrow

I dream of tomorrow

I dream of tomorrow

I dream of tomorrow
