Only The Future Lyrics

(words and music by Joe Jackson)

Something's coming, something big
Something I can't stand
Dark as the ocean, secret and cruel
Something I can't command

Something's waiting down a muggers' alley
To see what's on my mind
Take a deep breath, start walking faster
It's dark, but I'm not blind

You never know, if I push at this wall
My hand could pass through
So, this cloud of unknowing
Could disappear too

It's only the future
