You have no future

You have no past

You've just got now

And that won't last

You're feeling less

And wanting more

It's such a mess

'Cause yesterday's not happening anymore

Another dollar

Another day

You didn't bother

It got away

And when you found

You'd lost one more

It took you down

'Cause yesterday's not happening anymore

And I don't know just what tomorrow's for

Yesterday's not happening anymore

Don't ask me why I don't stay

I'm living for today

You've been to Pismo

You dream of Spain

You hope there is more

To life than rain

You lose your doubt

You close the door

You're moving out

'Cause yesterday's not happening anymore

And I don't know just what tomorrow's for

Yesterday's not happening anymore

Don't ask me why I don't stay

I'm living for today
