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

Tomorrow's Girls
