Kurt J. Moser Tomorrow
Please lay down your mask for a while
And try to recapture your smile
You are covered with dirt of a lost day
It's yourself that you try to betray
You still hide behind some stupid catchword
To define your superficialised world
Paralysed in social constitutions
So free from your juvenile illusions
In your eyes a fearful suspense
It nearly seems there's nothing more
To pretend
Let's explore the secrets of the sea
Or just go out for a cup of tea
You can even stay in bed all day
We don't fear the word tomorrow
Incessantly you talk about the future
With your view lost in some furniture
Go on waste your precious energy
If it pays – this doubtful luxury
What about a short trip to Calais
Drinking wine without a word to say
Or let's go to see a movie show
We live today and not tomorrow
Take your time to watch the setting sun
Let your duties be undone
Laughing naked in a flurry of snow
We live today and not tomorrow
Let's explore the secrets of the sea
Or go out to have a cup of tea
You can even stay in bed all day
We don't fear the word tomorrow
