Dateline

It's yet a day, when in fact it's tomorrow
 What you're feeling now, is just the day's joy and sorrow
 Your future's secure though, forever somehow
 It's already over, what's going on now
 It's already happened, what's happening right now
 When you come over here, you lose a whole day
 You'll never get it back until you get back that way
 Out in the ocean they drew a date line
 Use your imagination, you can stop time
 Time stands still when you imagine that line
 Just imagine it!
 Well, he's in some mower, just a few-hour flight
 From the chicken days in Tongo, but it's never quite right
 Always hands the flowers, all of her day
 But that man up in the morrow, else is just a day
 'Cause when you day to cross the date line, it's never the day
 After a while, it's all a disaster
 That's when yesterday starts to feel like the day after
 You factor in time zones and do all the math
 And you equit the widow-water dreams down in the bath
 When I come up, baby, back home there in L.A
 That's all already happened, so there's not a lot to say
 If I die here in Sydney, I tell her on the phone
 I can't redeem the day I lost, and she'll be all alone
 I won't get that day back till they ship my ashes home
 All my ashes!
 Remove your wrist watch and clunk your digital clock
 If you don't wanna suffer from a temporal shock
 The future's secure though, forever somehow
 It's already over, what's going on now
 It's already happened, what's happening right now
 That's right, now, it's already past what's present right now
